Installation of EPIC within eclipse juno

I'm installing EPIC within eclipse but always get an error:

Unable to read repository at http://e-p-i-c.sf.net/updates/testing/content.xml

I tried the second answer in this post which is:

1) add the line in eclipse.ini: -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack = true

2) delete eclipse/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository/cache directory

But still get the error. However I can install CDT correctly.

I'm using Mac OX Lion and Eclipse Classic 4.2.1 the mac os 64bit version. I also tried to switch to 32bit version but didn't work. Any help is appreciated.

This is another posible answer, besides the ones already provided.

I just hit this, and it was a firewall rule the issue. In fact the file content.xml doesn't exist on the plugin update (it has instead a site.xml) but that is what the error says when it cannot reach outside world

Solution would be to just open ports 80 and 443 to Eclipse

PS: this happened to me while installing a new version of Eclipse which was not whitelisted in the firewall rules

Remove the site from your "Available Software Sites".
1) Go to "Help" > "Install New Software" > "Available Software Sites"

Find the URL you mentioned in the list and delete it.

Note: Then install EPIC from marketplace if required.
