That's correct - a content.xml file doesn't exist. The file is called content.jar.

Can you verify, that you have the following URL configured for the repository in eclipse?

https://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/pmd-eclipse/update-site/

If it still doesn't work, please post the eclipse version, you are using.

Eclipse version is Luna. May be problem had to do with bad proxy settings.

What is interesting that it seems to work after a while.
Why does it look for content.xml if no such file exists?
