[stellation-res] Eclipse update URL - Still broken

[Jim Wright - IBM Research <jwright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ringo,

I'm afraid I lost track of this for a bit -- unfortunately, it's still broken.
I just tried again and get the same error message cited in my earlier message.

The old link (to the iTools site) still works for me (even though someone in
a different group here at Watson said it didn't work for them .... I'll 
look into
that and report back).  So, we have a short window for fixing the link to the
planetinternet.be site, if it's fixable.

Can you look into this?  Or, could someone else perhaps post the plugins
somewhere? (Unfortunately we can't, for legal reasons).   I'm looking into a
couple of workarounds, but the Eclipse Update mechanism is pretty nice if we
can make it work.

Thanks,
Jim
