How does Eclipse Marketplace's drag to install work? - eclipse

How does Eclipse get all the metadata, e.g., update sites to add to the update site list, from the url http://marketplace.eclipse.org/marketplace-client-intro?mpc_install=[plugin ID] ?

The documentation of the REST API used by the Eclipse Marketplace Client can be found in the Eclipse Wiki here:

Unable to install pydev

I am trying to install pydev through update site and eclipse marketplace but that's impossible.
When trying to install I receive the following message:
Unable to read repository at https://dl.bintray.com/fabioz/pydev/latest/content.xml.
Looks like this file does not exist anymore on the repository.
Did somebody found a solution about that ?
Regards
I've run into the same issue. I found out that the link at the PyDev site http://www.pydev.org/updates is redirecting to https://dl.bintray.com/fabioz/pydev/6.4.1. Using this link doesn't work for me, in Eclipse 4.7.3a.
However, changing this link to http://dl.bintray.com/fabioz/pydev/6.4.1 solves my problems. Apparently, there is an issue with the SSL redirection at the distribution site, or the https downloads in Eclipse.
The Error Message
I am note sure why you are getting an error message about content.xml, the real file that Eclipse should be reading is content.jar which is there.
Try one of the solutions below and please post more details if you can.
Online Install
The URL for installation of the feature is http://pydev.org/updates. You can use that URL to Install New Software... from the Help menu if the Eclipse Marketplace is not doing what you want.
Offline Install
If you meet the requirements (below) and continue to have problems with the update site, you can download to install offline. Get it from SourceForge (or follow the link from PyDev's website to SourceForge)
LiClipse
Alternatively, simply get LiClipse instead. It is Eclipse and PyDev and a bunch of other useful stuff already packaged together. It is provided by the author of PyDev, so should give you the best experience.
Minimum Eclipse and JVM Requirement
Double-check you meet the minimum requirements: PyDev requires Java 1.7 or greater and Eclipse 3.8/4.3 or greater:
Requirements

Eclipse (3.8/4.3 onwards)
At start i was also facing same error that : The solution is not provide while installing PyDev - Python IDE for Eclipse 6.3.2

unable install svn plugin in eclipse

i want install svn plugin with eclipse. and i found this site for instruction
http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/documentation/gettingStarted/aboutSubversive/install.php
and i give following download link on my "Help-- Install New Software" option
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/1.0/update-site-1.0.1/
but when i try to download the plugin eclipse give me following error
i dont why ?
Quote from your tutorial:
On the 'Add Repository' form enter the URL to the Subversive update site.
The proper URL can be found on http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/downloads.php.
Also the update-site for Subversive integration plug-ins can be added in
the same way.
The link provided above is not the update-repository, its just an information page where you can find the latest repository URL.
Try this one:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/1.0/update-site-1.0.1/
Hope this helpes, have Fun!

Download bugzilla eclipse plugin?

I want to download Mylyn bugzilla eclipse plugin from an update site.
Can anyone tell me the update site, because most of the links I found were invalid, thanks.
I think the reason you aren't getting any answers is because it's available from the main update site:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo
Search for mylyn, under Collaboration.

How can I manually install SVN connectors in Eclipse

I've been using early versions of the new Eclipse (3.7 and 4.0) and they have been quite stable, however I am missing SVN support.
Using the prescribed (for the stable version 3.6) method of using the eclipse update site, I cannot install a connector because the available versions are not supported. I have read of other users successfully using the connectors after installing them manually, however I cannot find any description of how to do this.
Can anyone help?
This is the new link for downloading SVN Connector manually.
https://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/6.0/neon-site/
Open Eclipse>>help>> Install Software>>Paste the above url>>click add>>Select the connector>>now install.
The above url is subjected to change so please visit this link for latest link:
https://www.polarion.com/products/svn/subversive/download
Did you try the http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/update-site/ site, listed on the Polarion Subversive site?
Update: A -1 given to this answer made me realize that the update site URLs are changed. The current list of update sites is the following:
http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/2.0/builds/ – Subversive Connector Archives for Subversive 0.
http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/3.0/builds/ – Subversive Connector Archives for Subversive 1.0/1.1
Additionally, if the update site urls have changed again, consult the Polarion site.
