Recently, some of my colleague report that, when they click Help->MyEclispe Configuration Center, it take a long time to start the MyEclipse Configuration Center. In their machine, the configuration center take several minutes to start. and got the following error message in the .log file of the corresponding workspace.

This symptom don't appear in my machine and we have the same setting in the Window->Perference->General->Network Connection. (i.e. we connect through the same proxy) and his machine can access to the site "downloads.poweredbypulse.com" through browser. (I mean he can get the error page from the site.)

This may not be a big issue, however this lead to connection timeout when he try to install AspectJ library through the configuration center. I can' install the AspectJ through dropin folder. So I have to solve this connection problem so that he can install the aspectJ plugin.


Thanks,
Ray,

As the following, he can access to your site through browser.

rnmanhon,

Are you behind firewall / proxy? If yes, I would recommend you setup proxy here - window > preferences > general > network connections.
Also perform a re-install and run using pulse. Here are the steps -
1. Turn on the [Caps Lock] key
2. Open Pulse (Start > Programs > Pulse > Pulse Explorer or download the same from www.poweredbypulse.com)
3. This would prompt you to set your proxy, select yes and follow the wizard
4. Login to pulse, you can also login anonymously
5. Select "Eclipse - Galileo" realm from top left hand drop-down
6. Select "MyEclipse 8.6" from *My Profiles*, right click on the same and click on [re-install and run]
7. And follow the wizard, when prompted choose to restart the IDE

Let me know how this works for you.
