Unable to read repository at http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.6. http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.6 is not a valid repository location. Is something wrong with Eclipse, or the repositories, or have I messed something up? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check for update 2. Eclipse fails to update and gives the above error.
Are you behind a firewall / proxy?
(In reply to comment #1) > Are you behind a firewall / proxy? It finds other repositories, so it doesn't seem to be a firewall problem.
I have the same problem.

I found where the problem is. I'm here in China, and I can't access http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/eclipse/releases/helios/, where http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/compositeContent.jar is redirected to, because our government has blocked the access to http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/* So please change a repository to help us developers in China. Thank you.
I find a workaround: use http://mirror.neu.edu.cn/eclipse/releases/helios/ instead of http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios
There has been issue where ppl were redirected to invalid mirrors.
