Build Identifier: I20100608-0911 When I try to use 'Check for Updates' or 'Install New software' even on a fresh new workspace I get this message: "Cannot complete the request. This installation has not been configured properly for software updates. See the error log for details". Eclipse Helios on Mac OsX Leopard 10.5.8 up-to-date (but with Eclipse 3.5 I got the same problem). I even tried to enable 'Classic Update' but get a connection problem message: "Network connection problem encountered during updates". Here's what I find in the related details window: Network connection problems encountered during search. Unable to access "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios".

In you eclipse install directory, do you have a p2/ directory. Also, what VM are you using?
(In reply to comment #1) > In you eclipse install directory, do you have a p2/ directory. Yes. It contains two other folders: org.eclipse.equinox.core and org.eclipse.equinox.engine > > Also, what VM are you using? As I look at my Java preferences I see that the order to check for the JVM to use is set as follows: J2SE 5.0 32 bit JAVA SE 6 64 bit J2SE 5.0 64 bit Is there a way to know which one Eclipse actually use?
Those are the vm's that the Java projects your developing in Eclipse can / are using. We need to determine which VM Eclipse is actually running on. The best thing to do is probably Help -> About Installation Details Then navigate to the Configuration tab You can copy the contents of that, put it in a file, and attach the file to this bug report. I can look through that and see if I see anything odd.

Well done. Thanks.
After I installed Java 1.6 and updates for Java 1.5 (update 8 for Mac OSX 10.5.8) everything seems to work fine.
