Using eclipse.buildId=I20100513-0800
java.version=1.6.0_20-ea
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=fr_CA
Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -console,

I added the update site for the workspace mechanic and I uninstalled a different bundle.
I got this warning.

Server returned lastModified <= 0 for http://workspacemechanic.eclipselabs.org.codespot.com/hg.update/mechanic/content.jar

What is this supposed to mean ?

This means that the server returned a bogus value for the timestamp of the file. It is harmless but we log it in case you would not be able to connect to the site. This message has been added in response to ~269588.

You should report it to the owner of the site. It has a negative effect on performance as it means it is impossible for p2 to know if the index has changed or not and it must be downloaded each time it needs to be consulted.
