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.
*** Bug 16711 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
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).
