Description

This issue is related to http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MPIR-150

it would be nice if url.openStream();
from

ProjectInfoReportUtils.java

InputStream in =null;

try
{
  in = url.openStream();

can be replaced with

//Define constant TIMEOUT with pre set timeout
 
  InputStream in =null;

  try
  {
   URLConnection conn = url.openConnection();
   conn.setConnectTimeout(TIMEOUT);
   conn.setReadTimeout(TIMEOUT);
   in = conn.getInputStream();

url.openStream(); is a blocking call that makes caller wait forever and eventually timeouts at the end
