Description Steffen Pingel CLA 2011-03-16 16:24:06 EDT
Steps:
1. Point marketplace.eclipse.org to some web server to simulate failure
2. Open Marketplace

The error message that comes up is not very helpful to users. It should something like "The marketplace is currently not available..." and log details to the error log.
