Apologies if this is a dupe. 

Steps to reproduce:

1. install Eclipse 3.3M7 SDK (eclipse-SDK-3.3M7-linux-gtk.tar.gz).

2. unpack, use clean workspace. Here's my script:

#!/bin/bash
rm -fr /tmp/workspace-clean eclipse
tar xzf eclipse-SDK-3.3M7-linux-gtk.tar.gz
./eclipse/eclipse -vm /opt/ibm-java2-5.0/bin/java -data /tmp/workspace-clean -consolelog &

3. log console errors to file (see attached files)

4. launch Eclipse. Dispose Welcome screen (click the X).

5. Help > Software Updates > Find and install...
6. Search for new features to install > Next
7. [x] Europa Discovery Site 
8. add GMF's update site too, and enable it: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/gmf/update-site/europa/site.xml
9. select main Eclipse.org mirror (bottom of the list) for both
10. expand twisty for GMF update site; select GMF.
11. click 'Select Required' -- nothing happens, nothing thrown in console log.
12. expand twisty for Europa Discovery Site (just the first one)
13. click 'Select Required' -- now all dependencies are selected.

Since there's an (obvious?) workaround, I'm setting this to minor though it's a usability issue for Europa newbies. I only found the workaround by guessing "maybe it can't cross from one site into another?" If I can make that leap of logic, perhaps other users can too. Of course, the fact that it CAN cross the site boundaries is great, but the fact that it can only do so if the site's main twisty is expanded is... less than great.
