Description

Following the steps for #3 manual install from http://geronimo.apache.org/geronimo-eclipse-plugin-installation-instructions.html,
after I install, I define a new server. When I click the Download and Install button,
I get this error in the error log:
Featureorg.apache.geronimo.installableruntime.tomcat.feature 2.0.1cannot be found on http://www.pangex.com/pub/apache/geronimo/eclipse/updates/
or a newer version is already installed.

I think there is a good reason to not install this way, or to make this the install option of last resort.
Still, if it's a supported option, it should work.
Installing this way seems to be automatically choosing a mirror site...

I think JIRA 237 is suggesting to put an option to use updatesite.zip as #3, pushing this manual option to #4 on the page.
