Repository access via http

I started the application via Java WebStart. I couldn't connect to any repository via http (e.g. "Unknown Host: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/content.xml
download.eclipse.org")
Any assumption made on proxy settings, etc?
Thanks

The code delegates all repository access to p2, but I don't know if default http proxy requires any explicit configuration to work. It does work on systems with direct Internet access, so if you are behind a proxy, then this is the most likely reason of the failure. Do you need to configure anything in Eclipse to install new software from p2?

I have several Eclipse installs on my system (intentionally) which sometimes differs w.r.t. proxy settings. The question is where to do a configuration to make p2-browser work as it is not related to any specific Eclipse installation?

The question was if you need to configure proxy in eclipse to make p2 install. (p2 browser is independent from any eclipse installation you might have.)
