Seems like a duplicate of bug 286957. I've heard other complaints on IRC recently also.

I've tried several more times to install those features using the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (92 MB)" distribution of eclipse but still without success. I've also tried with several JDKs (SUN 1.7, SUN 1.6.0_16) Now I've download the "Eclipse Classic 3.5.0 (161 MB)" distribution and tried installing the "Test and Performance" feature (all with root access), now I get this error every time I try:

It seems to fail at finding or installing a plugin or dependency that contains that file. I could create it, but then it will continue with not finding other similar files and libraries.

I've tried doing this in a virtual machine, using Fedora 11 (x86_64), here are the steps I took:

1. Run Fedora 11 64 bit Live CD in a virtual machine. (My original attempts were made using CentOS 5.3)
2. Downloaded "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers (92 MB)" from eclipse.org
3. Downloaded SUN JRE 1.6.0_16
4. Ran ./eclipse -vm /path/to/jre/bin/java
5. Started to install "Test and Performance" features.
6. After a few downloads (or when it was about to install the features) it gave me this message: http://pastebin.ca/1534559

Could this be because of file corruption, or because of the JDK I'm using?

This seems to happen only with the 64 bit version of eclipse, with the 32 bit version it installs the features, I tried with the "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers (79 MB)" distribution.

I've just downloaded the TPTP project from http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/ and copied "plugins/org.eclipse.tptp.platform.ac.linux_em64t_4.4.200.v200906121434/agent_controller/*" into my eclipse installation, the installation of the "Test and Performance" features then installed successfully without the chmod error mentioned above.

The "Modeling" features also installed successfully, I am now in Fedora 11, I am not sure if the initial bug report and all those exceptions apply only to CentOS 5.3, which I was running before.

The transfer error has been handled in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=286117. 
Moving this to TPTP as the problem is with the action they are providing.

Please see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=281692#c2 for a suggested workaround.
