The field next to the Add button is a selection drop down. Unless you typed the URL directly into it, you still have to actually select one of its items.

The Groovy plug-in for Eclipse is from codehaus.org. You'll do better
going to them for support.

Russell,
Thanks for the tip, but my questions here are about Eclipse, not Groovy.
If I would ask these to Codehaus, they'll say "That's an Eclipse issue".
Would you not agree?
Regarding my experience with Luna (Version: Luna Release (4.4.0))
The Available Software dialog includes these items in the "Work with" list:
> http://groovyfx-project.github.com
> https://github.com/groovyfx-project/groovyfx
When selecting either, you get this error message:
"Could not find"
Why are they listed if the software is not indeed available?
Shouldn't the program test this?
If I enter the first item http://groovyfx-project.github.com in my browser,
it displays http://groovyfx.org/
If I enter the second item https://github.com/groovyfx-project/groovyfx in my browser,
it displays https://github.com/groovyfx-project/groovyfx
As I said, I went back to Kepler (Version: Kepler Service Release 2 Build id: 20140224-0627)
The Available Software dialog includes these items in the "Work with" list:
> https://github.com/groovyfx-project/groovyfx
> Groovy Eclipse Latest Release for Eclipse e4.3 - http://dist.springsource.org/release/GRECLIPSE/e4.3/
We know the first item doesn't work.
I selected the SpringSource item; the download worked.
btw, if I enter that url http://dist.springsource.org/release/GRECLIPSE/e4.3/ in my browser,
it changes to dist.springsource.org/release/GRECLIPSE/e4.3/
and a cryptic file "download" appears. Apparently it's not designed for manual downloading.
So the other question I asked was:
Why doesn't the newer Luna version include the SpringSource item?
As you can see, these are questions for Eclipse.

The install new software dialog allows you to add things to the Eclipse
version you have running. It utilizes update sites to retrieve the
software to add. Note that an update site is NOT the same as a web
site. The url of an update site may or may not show anything if you
paste it into your browser. Third party providers can make additional
features available to Eclipse by providing an update site for their
software. In general, these sites are separate from Eclipse and are
maintained by the third party provider. Eclipse software provides tools
to help them create these sites, but the ultimate responsibility is the
third parties.
The update sites you list are not provided with either the Kepler or
Luna downloads from Eclipse. They had to be added by something you did
after installing Eclipse or you had to download an Eclipse version from
another location that includes them for you. There are several ways
that an update site can get added. The most obvious one is manually
where you type (or paste) the update site url into the Work with: text
box. However, installing a plugin can also add the plugins update site
to the list of available sites. If you used the Eclipse Marketplace to
add a plugin, it is possible that the plugin added the github and
springsource entries you reference.
Just because the sites are now in your list of available sites doesn't
mean that Eclipse has anything to do with putting them there. In the
end, you have to make sure that the site urls are accurate and point to
actual update sites. You have to get that information from the third
party that provides the plugin. If you typed a url into the Work with
or the Add available sites dialog and you receive a message about it not
being valid, you have either typed the wrong url, the site isn't a valid
update site, or possibly you are behind some firewall or proxy server
that is blocking your access to the site.

I agree and I disagree. Even if it's an Eclipse problem (I'm speaking
hypothetically here and not about your specific problem which David gave
you a partial answer for), the special community uses Eclipse and sorts
out their problems using Eclipse and so will often know better how to
answer than so-called Eclipse specialists in the general, newcomer's forum.
Hope this all gets sorted out for you. Good luck, my friend.
