This is weird. Two weeks ago I downloaded a brand new, completely vanilla install of Eclipse SDK 3.7.2 (Indigo) to run here on my 64-bit Windows 7 machine. My intention was to then use Install New Software to add PHP support to the IDE. Unfortunately, I have never been able to get that - or any other - software to download to Eclipse at all.
The weird thing is: When Eclipse contacts the update URL, but it never does get the list of software. It just takes forever fetching - gets about 40% done (or claims to) - and then hangs.
Actually that is not quite true. I have tried this process multiple times per day for the past two weeks and three of those times - seemingly completely at random - I did get the list of available software. I did choose PHP from that list, accept the terms, etc and start the download process. None of those downloads ever finished. The process always hung at various percentages of completion, always less than 50%.
I'm boggled. How can I "sort of" see the server and "partly" download the software? It should be all or nothing, right?
BTW: I can't successfully run Check for Updates either. Doing so also hangs partial done as well.
I've never had this happen to me before. This is a brand new computer, true, but I've since reverted to Eclipse Helios (built for PHP) and that is running fine.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
