eclipse cannot resolve domain names [message #327466]

Very strange issue, Eclipse cannot resolve domain names. I'm on debian
linux, testing distro, 2.6.23-AMD64 kernel. I dont use any proxies, and
eclipse is setup to work without proxies. My /etc/resolv.conf is just:
nameserver 4.2.2.5

Evidence that DNS resolving does not work:

Help -> Software Update -> Find and Install cannot connect to anything, if
I hit finish to start updating a "problem occured, network connection
problems encountered during search" dialog with the following details:
"""Network connection problems encountered during search. Unable to
access " http://hudson-eclipse.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/hudson-update /".
Error parsing site stream. [Premature end of file.]
Premature end of file.
Error parsing site stream. [Premature end of file.]
Premature end of file."""

CVS perspective is a little bit clearer, if I add a site using a hostname
it says:
"could not locate host"
However if I change it to an IP address it works fine.

Anyone have any suggestions for how to fix Eclipse to get DNS resolves
working again?

Also, I'm using the 32 bit winter build against the 32bit
ia32-sun-java6-bin package. I just wiped my ~/.eclipse folder and
/usr/local/eclipse but am still experiencing this grievously annoying
issue (I cannot install remote plugins).

I'm guessing a properly-working DNS server is reacheable at 4.2.2.5 ?

4.2.2.2 is a high performant public DNS server hosted by L3, it should
work for anyone. it works for all my other apps. :)

JDK is pooched [Was: eclipse cannot resolve domain names] [message #327471 is a reply to message #327466]

Error appears to lie in my JDK. Again for reference I am using the
ia32-java-6-sun package on Debian Testing. I have filed a bug report
against it at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=477211

I used the following program to test whether the JDK can resolve domain
names:

// code modified from
// http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0452.html
import java.net.InetAddress;

public class SimpleDNS {

public static void main( String args[] ) {
if( args.length == 0 ) {
System.err.println( "Usage: SimpleDNS host" );
System.exit( 99 );
}
for( int i = 0; i < args.length; i++ ) {
try {
System.out.println( args[i] + " is " +
doLookup( args[i] ));
}
catch( Exception e ) {
System.out.println(args[i] + " : " + e.getMessage());
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

static String doLookup( String hostName ) throws Exception {
InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName( hostName );
return addr.getHostAddress();
}
}

Excepted:
slashdot.org is 66.35.250.150 [ed: or permutation thereof]

Result:
slashdot.org : slashdot.org
java.net.UnknownHostException: slashdot.org
at java.net.Inet6AddressImpl.lookupAllHostAddr(Native Method)
at java.net.InetAddress$1.lookupAllHostAddr(InetAddress.java:84 9)
at
java.net.InetAddress.getAddressFromNameService(InetAddress.j ava:1200)
at java.net.InetAddress.getAllByName0(InetAddress.java:1153)
at java.net.InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.java:1083)
at java.net.InetAddress.getAllByName(InetAddress.java:1019)
at java.net.InetAddress.getByName(InetAddress.java:969)
at SimpleDNS.doLookup(SimpleDNS.java:25)
at SimpleDNS.main(SimpleDNS.java:14)

Have you tried to perform the lookup manually outside of a Java application?
What does "nslookup slashdot.org" give you back?
