Thanks. I'm on latest stable (3.2.2) by the way.
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
I managed to find a resolution for this release - the DNS server I had
been assigned was timing out external lookups instead of politely
refusing them. I switched to a server that didn't timeout (just
pointed to root servers, even though I can't actually route to them)
and the problem went away. I'll try 3.3RCs as suggested.
Regards, Nick

The Platform proxy support sets the
Java HTTP system properties which is what is used by the Update manager
so this could be an issue in the Java HTTP support. However, as Dejan
pointed out, there were changes made in this area in 3.3. Please log a
bug against Platform/Team. It would be helpful to know if this is a new
problem since 3.2 (i.e. did it work for you in 3.2?)

Nick,
Since 3.3 Update Manager switched to using the platform preferences and
support for proxies (see General>Network Connections). I am not
quite
sure
about the team to open the defect against but I would try with
Platform>Team first.

Apologies if this is not the correct forum to ask this, but I seem to
have run into a proxy issue with Update Manager.
We use a corporate http proxy here, and do not have access to external
DNS. Even though I've configured both Eclipse and the Update Manager
to
use proxies, Eclipse is hanging when starting "Help->Software
Updates->Find and Install".
The reason could be that Eclipse (or the update manager I'm not sure)
seems to be attempting DNS lookups instead of directly using the proxy
settings (I say "could be" because I only see download.eclipse.org
lookups in an ethereal snoop). This problem is varied -
"Help->Software
Updates->Manage Configuration" is slow, but at least does not hang
the IDE.
Could it be that if the update manager is to use a proxy, then it should
use it properly and without DNS?
