Under some conditions, it seems that the Apache httpclient provider (which is used for p2/Eclipse update) spontaneously disconnects when retrieving files.  An example is [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=344905 bug 344905].  We're not currently sure if this is some problem with the JRE, or with Apache HttpClient, but in either case, it is possible to disable the HttpClient provider and have ECF use the JRE URLConnection-based provider instead.  This is accomplished by setting this System property:

Disabling Httpclient5

The new default filetransfer provider (httclient5) may be changed from httpclient5 to the URLConnection provider (using the underlying JVM's impl of URLConnection) by setting the following system property upon eclipse (or other app) startup:

org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient5

For example, to set this property when starting Eclipse:

eclipse -vmargs -Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient5

This will disable the Apache HttpClient5 provider, and force using the URLConnection provider.
