Description Vlad Klicnik CLA 2002-05-20 16:28:36 EDT 
I have a feature whose update URL is pointing to a non-existent site (actually 
the server exists, but the site.xml was not set up (server responds with 
generated page).

I click on "Available Updates" and Search. The search hangs with "Contacting 
Site ..." and never comes back.

I am not sure if this is caused by UI or core.

Fixed - the problem was only in the background search inside Update Manager - 
did not affect one-click update because the search is executing in the progress 
dialog context. The background progress was catching the core exception 
(invalid URL) but was neither reporting the exception nor cleanly terminating 
the progress monitor (by calling done()).

Fixed by adding 'done()' in the 'finally' block and by logging the error inside 
the background process (using async exec since SWT is involved).
