The above is what the console viewer shows when this problem occurs.  One would instead expect the exception to be captured and an alert to pop up in the GUI, possibly with an option to "retry".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I guess you need an uncooperative firewall to achieve this.

I've gotten the same problem. Others reported this in Bug 336631 (where someone uploaded a patch) and Bug 241511 (which is closed). However, it might not matter, because according to Bug 347069, the UDC will be removed from Eclipse Juno.

The Usage Data Collector was decommissioned a long time ago. Therefore any
remaining bugs are now being closed as WONTFIX. If this bug is still relevant,
please make a comment and we'll move it to the correct project/component for
further investigation.

This change was made as part of a bulk change.
