Eclipse Indigo is unable to read repository (update sites)

Stefan Antal picture Stefan Antal · Jan 20, 2012 · Viewed 8.5k times · Source

First of all this question has been asked at least twice.

I tried several approaches with no effect.

Here's the problem:

When I try to download/update plugins like EclEmma, Eclipse starts to communicate with the repository and that takes about 5 minutes. After that I get an error:

"An error occured while collecting items to be installed session context was:(...)

Unable to read repository at http: (...) Read time out

(... for every *.jar)"

What I was trying to fix the problem was running eclipse as an admin (got vista x86 running) and changing the connection properties from native to direct and back. I also tried deleting saved repositories and adding again. No effect at all.

I have no proxy configured and don't need one.

This is getting kind of personal between me and my IDE :D

So I hope you guys can help me out.

Thanks Zoltán (köszi :D), but i found the error last night.

Resolution

After hours of debugging I figured out that AVG Anti-Virus Software blocks the request. After deactivating it for temporarily, Eclipse installed the new software.
