Answer 1

I had this problem too. It seemed the Eclipse updater only works with a trailing "/" for repositories that don't explicitly point to a file.

E.g.

• OK: http://emonic.sourceforge.net/updatesite/nchc/site.xml
• OK: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/
• NOT OK: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno

Check here for instruction. Thanks to Devon.
