I am using Eclipse Indigo. When I try to contact http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/indigo/ Installing updates result in an endless ...pending...
What is going wrong here? I thought it would be the firewall. Turned it off, no succes. Tried reading all the articles about this problem, could not find my solution there as well.
Hopefully someone can pinpoint me to the right direction.
Though less convenient, as the update site notes:
You can also download JBoss Tools as individual zips for offline installation. See JBoss Tools Downloads.
You might also try using Wireshark or some other traffic analyzer to see where in the process things are hanging. If it's just one bad repo, you might be able to route around it. There might be a way to get Eclipse to give you more logging to get the same information, but I don't know how offhand.
It may be that you are behind a firewall. Make sure that you temporarily disable all firewall software and anti-virus software before running the update.
If you are behind a corporate firewall, you must configure your proxies correctly in Preferences -> General -> Network Connections.
Another possibility is that there is something wrong with your installation. Just to be certain, I'd recommend that you delete your old installation and start with a new one.
If update site is not working for you (may be firewall or network issue), you can download the zip package from below URL. And go to Help->Install new software, click Add then Archive and select the zip files, note it also works for jar files.

This is going to sound like a ridiculous question, but using the SonarLint Eclipse plugin (v3.2.0) on the latest Eclipse (Oxygen), I am unable to add a new SonarQube server connection.
I am working behind a company firewall, but that doesnt appear to be an issue. I am following the steps here and am able to successfully connect to our internal SonarQube instance, provide my credentials, but it is just on the final step, that the 'Finish' button does not seem to do anything, see screen below:
I appreciate there is probably some background processes need to run in order for this Finish to actually finish :) But this doesnt appear to be doing anything...Anyone else experience this issue?
Any before people ask, I've restarted Eclipse/laptop, uninstalled and reinstalled SonarLint plugin etc.
Thanks in advance!
SonarLint in Eclipse are storing credentials in Eclipse secure storage that itself is protected by a master password. So you must reset it or delete it to add a new SonarQube server connection. You can try this step :
In your Eclipse Go to Window > Preferences, filter and find Secure Storage.
In the Tab Contents find and highlight org.sonarlint.eclipse.core, click Delete > Apply > OK. After deletion process is finished, Eclipse will ask if you want to restart the IDE. It is strongly recommended that you restart the IDE and try again to adding SonarQube server in Eclipse.
Thanks.
On my linux machine I had the same issue, because the used master password provider doesn't work properly.
This answer worked for me:
Open Window > Preferences
Go to General > Security > Secure Storage
At Master password providers uncheck the used provider. The enabled provider with the highest priority is the used one [for me it was "Linux Integration (64 bit)"].
Click apply
I also encountered this problem, but was able to work around it.
This is environment in which I was running:
Eclipse Oxygen.1
Linux VM (VirtualBox) on Windows host
Solution that worked for me based on this post:
Uninstall SonarLint.
Reinstall using Help -> Install new software...
On the Install dialog, un-check the option "Show only the latest versions of available software"
Select the older version of SonarLint.
Select Next and continue with the install.
After installing, configure your SonarQube server like normal.
Upgrade to the latest version of SonarLint via Help -> Check for Updates
In my case the problem also concerned the credentials storage but was caused by the Avecto Defendpoint Client. The company restricted the permissions to create subfolders in user home (c:\users<username>). I had to create manually missing subfolders (.sonarlint and .eclipse) after access level elevation and after filling the reason in a text field. Then I had to give the permissions to those folders for myself. Having created them I could proceed with adding server to sonarlint plugin.
This is a project I've been working on off and on for months and I feel like I'm pretty close, but I just can't seem to get past the final hurdle.
The goal is to develop an organization extension library that contains both internal and 3rd party code that we frequently rely on.
History
As a test project, I started with Apache Poi because that is already in wide use in our environment. I have a plug-in and feature built just from the Poi .jars that allows me to build our current Poi applications as long as I add the plug-in (from my workspace) to my build path. The apps work on the servers because we have already distributed the Poi .jars by manually copying them.
The next step is taking that plug-in and getting it into an updatesite so that all of the servers and developers can synchronize on one version. I found and followed these two excellent blog articles (that I wish existed when I started this project):
http://www.dalsgaard-data.eu/blog/wrap-an-existing-jar-file-into-a-plug-in/
http://www.dalsgaard-data.eu/blog/deploy-an-eclipse-update-site-to-ibm-domino-and-ibm-domino-designer/
With the caveat that the articles are written for Domino 9 and we are running 8.5.3 here, but that only matters in the last (installation) step.
Current
This brings us to the problem. All of the above seems to have worked great up to a point. I can install my feature to my designer client from the eclipse update site and it works great. However, the install is failing when I import that into our updatesite.nsf database. This means that while the developers can all install from the updatesite if I put it on a network drive, that doesn't deploy updates to our servers.
The problem is that when I try to install from the .nsf update site, the Eclipse Updater just hangs. I've let it go for well over an hour and eventually Notes becomes completely unresponsive.
So the question is, is there anything I might have done wrong, either in the development of the plug-in or server configuration that might be causing this issue?
Additional Info
I'm looking at the osgi console and that is largely unhelpful. I am getting the following errors as I'm trying to install: SEVERE Could not access digest on the site: no protocol: 0/5B004DDD5E38F3FF85257CAF004C72C7/$file/digest.zip ::class.method=unknown ::thread=Worker-7 ::loggername=org.eclipse.update.core
I could generate dumps if that would be useful.
Security is also locked down fairly tight here. It could be a security issue - is there a way to troubleshoot that? Once I get to the hang I'm just stuck guessing.
This has been edited for clarity and to update information
I know that this is post is over 5 years ago but...
for those that find this and are trying to resolve the error
SEVERE Could not access digest on the site: no protocol: "
is due to the update site project not having the URL of the Domino updatesite.nsf not being added to the Archives tab of the site.xml.
I found the updatesite.nsf also needs to be anonymously accessible as no credentials are prompted/passed through to the Domino server hosting the updatesite.nsf database (at least from DDE), YMMV from eclipse. So if Anonymous connections are blocked on the Domino server you will be out of luck.
To develop a plug-in you really want to have 3 projects:
the plug-in
the feature
the update site
Of course a feature can contain more than one plug-in (and probably should) and a update site can contain more than one feature (and probably should). Once you have an update site project it features a handy button "build all" that makes sure plug-in, feature and update-site get compiled in one go. And that button is what you really want.
You can point using a setting in your Domino Designer (or local Domino server) to the feature directory. Add a plain text .link file to framework/rcp/eclipse/links, that contains the path to your install site - it then picks up the features and plug-ins from there. After a build you would need to restart designer/server to activate the updated feature.
For the Domino server the approach using an updatesite.nsf and the respective notes.ini setting makes the most sense (to me). http restart required. Lazy people script the whole thing.
I still don't have a great answer for this, but I believe the issue is related to the environment here. I don't have the authority to change the environment, even if I were able to conclusively demonstrate it is the cause of this problem, so it is a moot point. All I can say is that at least one administrator computer had no issue installing from the update site.
For me, the solution for distributing the update site is to put it on a network drive and have everyone install it from there. The server has no problem using it from the updatesite.nsf.
I'm experiencing some weird problems on using web stuff in Eclipse (Indigo, Indigo SR2 and Juno). My proxy configurations seems to be messed when Eclipse tries to do sth on web.
My browsers stop to communicate and I have to restart my machine in order to restore my Internet access again (or close Eclipse and browser and force the browser to reload proxy configurations). In Eclipse, the communication is unstable, working/not working sometimes.
My "NetWork Connections" are set to Manual, where proxy address, port, auth, user and passord are set to HTTP and HTTPS schemas (I didn't use it for SOCKS due to update issues - see this question).
I have no idea of what is happening and why, and how to fix it. Thanks for helping.
It is very unlikely that Eclipse influences your global settings. If anything outside of Eclipse does not work, should look there for the problem first. Eclipse can either use your system wide settings, or it's own overrides.
I understand your frustration - hard to know what is going wrong.. I really don't see what Eclipse can be doing to cause this though. I can suggest some further troubleshooting steps though.
Can you test the proxy config on any other machine?
Can you browse normally on this machine at other times?
Can you go to the same URL in browser that Eclipse is going to?
Perhaps do you have Eclipse checking all sites for updates (Help > Software) and this is just network slowdown?
When you are experiencing this effect, can you ping outside sites?
Eclipse is constantly running 'Loading Messages' from what appear to be various plugin sites as well as a main eclipse site (all reference a messages.xml file). Is there a way to disable this? They are never able to actually load as I am behind a proxy, so it just sits there and churn. I've yet to find a solution to this.
Edit:
Most of the time, I have my active provider set to manual. This is required on my end in order to access source code. So I actually have eclipse set up to not use a proxy. Because of this, eclipse can not contact any outside sites (but I don't have a choice on this issue). The active provider is only native when set I need to download a plugin for the first time (or manually update etc).
I'm assuming you're using Eclipse Helios (3.6).
Eclipse 3.6 should be able to detect a proxy.
Under Window -> Preferences, General -> Network Connections, you should see all of the proxy entries and the proxy bypass defined.
Make sure you have the Active Provider as Native.
It seems to me from the following page
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/platform-team/target.php
and other pages like it. that there has been a robust, mature, properly integrated (and seemingly very smart) way to upload and synchronize files from an eclipse workspace with an FTP site for four to six years already.
It seams from that page and similar pages around the web that "The WebDAV and FTP plugins are built as part of the platform build" which to me in plain english would mean that if you have the core eclipse files you should already have it.
This is obviously not the case. you dont even have the plugins required to make basic ftp access unless you install it from a repository.
Not only is it not installed. it is not available from the default plugin repositries set up when you download eclipse.
Not only that but I could not even find the link to the repository anywhere.
RSE - which seams like a library out of the nineties with such limited functionality that shell clients writen for windows 3.1 could do more in less steps - has its plugin repository url posted in many places. but the team plugin has only links to CVS repositories of the source at best. even most of those are broken.
In conclusion.
Does anyone know how to install the "team" ftp client so that I can synchronize my content with FTP?
Well, here is an sftp plugin on sourceforge.
It is only about internal plugin defining a basic container for any ftp or webdav-based application.
You can see, when looking at:
the source of eclipse.ftp, that this is mainly an exception, some interfaces and a basic FTP container.
the sources of the target.ftp plugin, that that feature is here from more than 4 years, untouched, with basic functions only.
Only a more advance client like eclipse.team.ftp defines a client, but not on eclipse.team.ftp no more, since this is now the DSDP Target Management component which actually has developed a more advanced FTP/Webdav layer. It took over since 2006.
Ok, time for me to answer my own question.
No RSE does not do what org.eclipse.team.ftp was able to accomplish five years ago. Somehow that functionality never made it in. I have no idea why they dropped a perfectly logical solution in favor of the new backwards methodology.
However, visiting the site that #bmargulies recommended I realized that Jcraft still hosts the original FTP and WebDav Service for Team Services (upon which their sftp service is built)
So you can just point your eclipse install dialog at http://eclipse.jcraft.com/ and install the original plugin.
Good luck
I am also looking for this. Any solution for you yet?
This one also has been left dead and then excluded. :((
Team Synchronization on top of RSE
I guess there are still not enough Eclipse developers interested in it. Especially if one continue to see not only dead projects but even succesfull ftp-sync projects being shut out.
Really sad.
