Description Bill Northcott

2010-10-07 01:03:04 EDT

Build Identifier: 20100909-0800

To reproduce:
Start with a nice fresh install of Snow Leopard MacOS X 10.6.4, which has never had Eclipse installed.

Install a current (3.6.1 Eclipse) select 'Help' -> 'Update Software' or 'Install New Software'

It will crash with an NPE. 
"An internal error occurred during: "Contacting Software Sites".
java.lang.NullPointerException"

This appears to be a regression.  Current 3.5.2 does not have this problem.

This has also been reported out of context by Patrick in bug 313502

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See above

I also started seeing this on my mac running 10.6.4, but I have had eclipse running on it. It's not a fresh install.

I got the same issue.

Version: Helios Service Release 1
Build id: 20100917-0705
OS: Debian sid x86_64
JDK: sun-java6-jdk 6.22-1

java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03, mixed mode)

jthomas@blackbird:~$ env|grep -i proxy
HTTPS_PROXY=
no_proxy=
NO_PROXY=
https_proxy=
auto_proxy=
http_proxy=
ftp_proxy=
FTP_PROXY=
HTTP_PROXY=

I am connected through an HTTP proxy at work. I just tried to install some Eclipse plugins from home (no proxy) and got the issue. Here, my system network settings are set to use direct connection. 

A workaround that worked for me:
Window -> Preferences -> Active Provider -> Direct

The bug 323149 is closed resolved but this issue still exists in Mac OSX with Helios SR1!

This means this is a separate issue. please reopen.

The target milestone of bug 323149 is set to 3.7M3. You are on 3.6.1. Even if the problems are indeed identical, you are not using a build that contains the fix.
