Answer 1

What is the version of your eclipse?

There is a bug regarding updates: 236437 only fixed in 3.5M4

If that happens, the current workaround is to remove the repository from the list and add it back again.

• Software Updates -> Manage sites -> Export (bookmarks.xml)
• exit eclipse
• go to your eclipse/configuration/.settings/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.*.prefs and delete files (after backup)
• Restart eclipse
• re-import bookmarks.xml
