When I want to update the eclipse I get the following error:

Some sites could not be found. See the error log for more detail. Unable to connect to repository http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7/content.xml Connection timed out: connect Unable to connect to repository http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/content.xml Connection timed out: connect

the available software sites are: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo and http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7

The version of eclipse is 3.7.2

These should really be up, especially with the retention time specified as 'indefinitely' on the update site list (wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Project_Update_Sites). Honestly, they really peev me off with the messing about with update sites they do. – Chris Dennett
You could just download the Eclipse package you need, unzip, and add your additional plug-ins. – Gilbert Le Blanc
I am doing this from behind a proxy, so that may be the problem. I just downloaded thes package so everthing is fine now. – mariomario

I have now set the proxy with

Window -> Preferences then General -> Network Connection

There I filled in my proxy and now I can update eclipse without any problems.

At work, I am behind a proxy, so on my MacBook Pro, I had to click on Eclipse->Preferences->General->Network Connections.

From there, choose Active Provider: Manual, and ensure the proxy entries below are all checked.

If there are no proxy entries, you will have to manually enter them.
