Answer 1

With some proxy servers there appears to be a problem with the HttpClient libraries used by Eclipse 4.4. The workaround is to use the JRE http client by putting this line in eclipse.ini:

-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient4
