the ".kepler" directory I had removed.

I'm using Debian GNU/Linux here on my development machine and yes, Debian also 
places links in /usr/bin . Nevertheless I rechecked the configuration and my 
Java installation points to Sun Java 1.5.

$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_14"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_14-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_14-b03, mixed mode, sharing)

I also discovered the problem on a colleges machine running an older "SuSe 
Linux".

Which endpoint does Kepler try to connect to? Is it some internet service or 
anything?
