Netbeans plugins site is down rendering netbeans useless - plugins

I'm using Netbeans 11.1 and need to a open a JS file in my project.
I need to install the Oracle JS Parser for Netbeans which I cannot do so because the site - plugins.netbeans.org is down. I'm getting this error -
Networking problem in
http://plugins.netbeans.org/nbpluginportal/files/nbms/1552395301_org-netbeans-libs-oracle-jsparser.nbm
Is there anyway I can install it manually otherwise I cannot resume work with netbeans rendering it useless.

The issue you are encountering was a bug in the released version of NetBeans 11.1. See Bug Report NETBEANS-2903 Warning - could not install some modules: Nashorn Integration - No module providing the capability com.oracle.js.parser.implementation could be found. 19 further modules could not be installed due to the above problems.
You have two options to fix this:
Upgrade to NetBeans 11.2 or later, where the problem does not exist.
Download and install the plugin yourself on NetBeans 11.1 by going to Tools > Plugins > then clicking the Settings tab, then the Add button. In the Update Center Customizer window enter any descriptive text in the Name field, in the URL field enter https://netbeans.apache.org/nb/plugins/11.1/catalog.xml.gz and then click OK. However, I just tried that, and got the error "Unable to connect ... because of Unexpected end of file from server". That connection may come good at any time, or it may be that you can no longer reliably access the plugin libraries for older versions of NetBeans.
So your only immediate solution is to upgrade to any newer version of NetBeans. That's desirable anyway, because you will get other bug fixes as well as this one. And if you move to NetBeans 12.x you will also get added functionality, and be able to use more recent versions of the JDK.
Also, as a separate but related matter, you were using an http URL rather than an https URL for your download. I'm not certain, but I doubt if that will work now; if you are not using a secure link you should expect failure, and in any case it looks like you were using a URL for NetBeans 8 rather than NetBeans 11.

Angular IDE not installing on Spring Tool Suite

For last two days, I am trying to install the Angular IDE for Angular 5 by simply following this tutorial, but after taking too long time for downloading it gives error on STS Version: 3.8.3.RELEASE, Build Id: 201612191351, Platform: Eclipse Neon.2 on Windows 7
After around 2 hours it says that Installation cannot be completed as requested
And then after clicking confirm it shows the below error.
Also, when I look into the progress bar it tries to reach some url continuously like
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/angular-ide/content.jar https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/content.xml.xz https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/content.xml https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/artifacts.xml
And when I manually tried to open the URLs then I got 404 URL not found error for all of them except the first one which is of angular-ide/content.jar.
I tried googling for the solution and the results having tutorials or steps to install the Angular IDE only.
Am i missing any configuration setting or something else? Any help or suggestion is highly appreciated.
The error that shows up in the popup indicates that a network issue happened while accessing the p2 repository of the Angular IDE marketplace entry. To resolve that, I would recommend to go to the Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Update Sites, select the one for Angular, remove that, and restart STS. This wipes out stale cache data and might remain in your install and cause issues if there was a network glitch in the past. Then try again.
I also checked the install via the Eclipse Marketplace on STS 3.9.4 (on Eclipse 4.7.3a) as well as STS 3.8.4 (on Eclipse 4.7.0), and it both seemed to work just fine, so it looks like there isn't a fundamental compatibility problem (at least not with those two versions).
Hope this helps!
Of possible interest, please see: https://grokonez.com/tool/setup-angular-ide-spring-tool-suite
The version of STS I have is:
Spring Tool Suite
Version: 3.9.2.RELEASE
Build Id: 201712210947
Platform: Eclipse Oxygen.2 (4.7.2)

Cannot update or install any new software in any version of eclipse

I've read the other posts about being unable to install software in eclipse, but I still can't seem to get anything to work. I've tried on both Eclipse Indigo and Eclipse Juno - neither of which seem to be able to connect to anything, yet I can open the web browser.
On my other computer, which was previously configured, it contacts the software sites perfectly fine. I can also use the internal web browser on both version of eclipse - navigating to www.google.com.
I've tried updating Eclipse using http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/ and I have tried to install ADT with https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/.
I'm attaching an image of the error I'm getting. Also it appears I am getting 'permission denied'
Regarding the ADT, i couldnt get it to work with indigo for the life of me. After looking around a lot i realized that there are some comparability restrictions for the ADT plug in. The latest version of the ADT works on Eclipse Helios 3.6 or higher.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/requirements.html
also make sure to do "run as administrator" when you start eclipse if you are going to install software.
I had the same problem, I'm not sure if it would help but here is what I did anyway:
Uninstalled AVG
Ran SFC /scannow
SFC found some corrupted windows files and repaired them
Restart
Not sure if uninstalling AVG did anything, but I saw it as a possible solution somewhere else.
I am now using MSE since it seems to be more compatible with my system...
Maybe you need to connect thru a proxy?
Check you browsers connections settings.
I've had the same issue before and it turned out to be due to a VPN connection I had open. It must have been trying to go via that, although no other applications have had that problem. So perhaps check that you don't have any static routes which are interfering.

unable to download glassfish 3 from netbeans

I have centos installed on myserver and for development i have installed NetBeans IDE 6.9.1.
Now as glassfish 3 was not present on my server i tried to download it from netbeans itself using
add server panel but when i click on download i am getting I/O exception , following is the screen shot
can anyone tell me how to get rid off it ..
This is caused by some poor programming on my part and the CollabNet to Kenai migration of the java.net web sites.
The url for downloading became something like http://download.java.net/glassfish/... when the migration took place. 6.9.1 had shipped long before the migration took place and remapping this URL did not get put on 'the list' of URLs that had to be remapped.
Some of the coding problems have been addressed in 7.0 builds. Since 7.0 is nearly FCS, you may want to consider using those builds instead of 6.9.1...
Note: you download GlassFish Server Open Source Edition with the following link: http://dlc.sun.com.edgesuite.net/glassfish/3.0.1/release/glassfish-3.0.1-ml.zip

Show-stopper Eclipse Helios install problems under OSX (10.6) 64bit

I thought I'd give Helios a try, so I grabbed the latest Java EE install from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/heliosr. Note, both OSX 32bit and 64bit exhibit the same symptoms.
So from a fresh install I run Helios (it launches fine), then the problem comes when I try running an upgrade. I keep getting these two errors errors:
Artifact not found: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/compositeContent.jar.
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/compositeContent.jar
No repository found at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios.
These are my (default) update sites:
Helios http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios Enabled
Mylyn for Eclipse Helios http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/helios Enabled
The Eclipse Project Updates http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6 Enabled
The Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) software repository http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/helios Enabled
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/e3.4 Disabled
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/extras Disabled
Note, I'm not behind any firewalls/proxies etc, no nothing weird with network connectivity.
I've searched all over the place and there are others with the same problem, with no solution that I could find.
Has anyone else run into these issues?
UPDATE 1:
Notes:
I'm not behind a proxy.
I've tried the Java EE, but also bare bones Eclipse 3.6.1.
I've tried different mirrors (including the main site),
I've tried SpingSource's version.
I've tried exporting the update sites to XML, deleting them and reimporting them.
I even tried adding forward slashes to the ends of site names.
I've made sure I have full write permissions for the eclipse folder, and have even placed it on my desktop.
I mention all of these seemingly odd behaviours because these are suggestions I've read around the web on this problem, which many people are having.
Once last interesting point I've just tried, is to download the "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/compositeContent.jar" directly in the browser. It redirects to "http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/eclipse/releases/helios/compositeContent.jar" with a 403 forbidden. :\ It seems as though system is finding a mirror, but perhaps the mirror is broken? Also note, I'm in Australia, so Georgia Tech is nowhere near me ;)
Just as I was writing this, I tried one last idea. I discovered "Pulse" by Genuitec, which is a Eclipse install manager. I gave it a shot, and it worked. The site it uses for updates is:
"[url=http://eclipse.poweredbypulse.com/downloads/aux/eclipse-mirror/releases/helios] http://eclipse.poweredbypulse.com/downloads/aux/eclipse-mirr or/releases/helios[/url]"
So, I've wasted enough time on this now. I'd create a bug in Eclipse Bugzilla, but there are already entries with no solution.
UPDATE 2:
Ok, from a fresh install, if I disable:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/
and add Pulse's update site:
http://eclipse.poweredbypulse.com/downloads/aux/eclipse-mirror/releases/helios/
I don't get any errors. I really think it's to do with the automatic mirrored update site. Is this possible?
Here is a screenshot of my update sites now:

Shane
Ok, I had the same issue on Windows XP 64bits laptop an Fresh Helios 64bits download, however your workaround works for me.
See update 2 in the question.

How can I install the BlackBerry v5.0.0 component pack into Eclipse?

I'm trying to install the latest v5.0.0 "beta 2" BlackBerry OS Component Pack into Eclipse 3.4.2 with BlackBerry Eclipse plugin v1.0.0.67, but have hit a few problems. Has anybody found an easy way to do this?
I had no trouble installing the v4.5.0 and v4.7.0 Component Packs.
It's rather strange that BlackBerry are shipping new phones with the v5.0.0 OS installed (e.g. a Storm 2 9550 and Bold 9700 that I just bought), and pushing that update to phones whilst the BlackBerry website still considers the v5.0.0 SDK / Component Packs to be "beta 2"! If anybody knows when an official non-beta Component Pack is going to be released that might solve my problem...
In case it helps, the problems I've hit so far are:
-Contrary to the implication on the BlackBerry website, the Eclipse "Software Update..." option for the v5.0.0 Component Pack claims it only works on the v1.0.0 Eclipse BlackBerry plugin, not the new v1.1 one.
-I then tried to install the v5.0.0 Component Pack through the "Software Updates..." menu in Eclipse using the v1.0.0 Eclipse BlackBery plugin. Once I'd done the 200MB download the install failed with a "Invalid zip file format" error.
-I might just have been unlucky with a corrupted download but I did try it twice, once through "Software Updates..." and once by selecting "Archive" to install the downloaded Component Pack (which unlike v4.5.0 and v4.7.0 was a JAR, not a ZIP).
Using Eclipse 3.5.1 and the 1.1 component pack, I had no trouble installing the 5.0 JDE from the 1.1 component pack update site from within Eclipse - ie: using the update site http://www.blackberry.com/go/eclipseUpdate/3.5/java ...
It could be possible that Blackberry has fixed whatever problem you encountered in their latest beta, or the latest version of Eclipse just works better...but at any rate, I hope you've gotten your setup working, but if not, perhaps trying again with the latest versions will fix things!
They (rim support) did experience some issue with the zip they have on the site for you to install.

, the support mentions:
The "Unconnected sockets not implemented" is caused by a bug in current versions of JDK 1.6.
You can work around this by downgrading to JDK 1.5 (modify your PATH and JAVA_HOME variables) to install the plug-ins. You may need to delete the files in your windows temp folder as well (Eclipse could have cached bad copies of the file).
This should be fixed in JDK 1.6 update 14.
(so what version of java are you using?)
As mentioned in the same thread:
The following is from the "blackberry plugin for eclipse" download page:
It is recommended that users outside of North American or users who have experienced problems with the BlackBerry update site use the links below to manually download and install the components.
Yep, I've read that bit. That's essentially what I tried to do. What that doesn't say is you need to remove the update site from your site list before trying to install the manual downloads via the archive function.
