Eclipse CVS setup problem - Error validating location - eclipse

I'm trying to configure a second Eclipse installation to access the Eclipse WTP sources. I think I'm doing exactly what I did successfully in another installation, but I get the following error:
Any ideas?

I tried it with your settings and it works fine for me. Could it be a firewall issue? Another option for getting the sources would be to use the Git mirrors (at the very bottom of http://dev.eclipse.org/git/) with EGit.

Error eclipse kepler when trying to install new software

I installed Eclipse kepler recently and I am having trouble installing new softwear. When I try to reload the repository site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler I get an error every time:
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler.
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler.
Unable to read repository at http://download.eclipse.org/releases/kepler/201309270900/content.jar.
Read timed out
I have tried every solution mentioned on this site, but nothing works for me.
Help me please, I really need this to work!!
If you're not behind a proxy or firewall it might be an issue with Java 7. Running your eclipse on Java 6 might fix it, more details here:
Unable to install new software/check for updates eclipse
The message means that there is a firewall between Eclipse and it's update server. Make sure you have configured the proxy settings correctly in Eclipse.
Note: Eclipse usually uses "Native" as default proxy setting. I have seen at least one instance where Eclipse wasn't able to read the proxy settings from Windows. If it fails for you, ask your system admins for the correct values for you and configure Eclipse manually.
The solution of adding the port number as suggested above, i.e., http://download.eclipse.org:80/releases/luna worked for me. In my case, I was using Luna.

cannot install SVN connectors in eclipse

I am running Eclipe Juno and trying to get SVN installed, ive included all the svn jars avaliable from the http://www.eclipse.org/subversive/latest-releases.php.
when at the select connectors to install screen when i try and install i get the error.
Problms occured while performing installation: HTTP Server Unknown HTTP Response Code (-1):http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/3.0/juno-site/context.xml
Solved:
The issue is an internet blocking exception rule i cannot change so instead i am now using subclipse not subversion.
My solution is not to use Subversive and to use Subclipse Instead. Works fine.
So i would suggest anyone else who faces this issue to check your firewall rules/Outgoing exception rules. For me i can not change these as i have no control over th firewall.
The update which you mentioned
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/1.1/update-site
works fine for me. Thanks and i am able to install the plugin.
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/subversive/0.7/update-site/ this doesn't work actually.

Where is the TestNG eclipse plugin

Where to find 5.x Testng eclipse plugin
Problem Installing older TestNG plugin on Eclipse 3.5
Both questions are quite old so the links there do not work anymore. I have Eclipse 3.5 and I would like to install the Eclipse TestNG plugin. What is the location of the update site? I am moving to TestNG so I can move the latest version of TestNG
PS: I have tried http://beust.com/eclipse/ but it throw me an NPE as shown below
Try to download TestNG plugin from Market Place.
Eclipse - > Help - > Eclipse MarketPlace -> TestNG..
Install it. After restarting Eclipse use it.
Try the URL that the jar comes from: http://beust.com/eclipse/
Use that above link as the Location, make sure to include the http://.
I used the latest url posted on the following page http://beust.com/eclipse-old/
That is http://beust.com/eclipse-old/eclipse-6.7.0.20120825_1316/
It worked perfectly fine.
Your URL looks fine (http://beust.com/eclipse) hence I suspect an issue unrelated to this, maybe your Eclipse installation is buggy or incorrectly configured (I did not need any special config on my Eclipse install though).
IN windows how to install testng plugin in Eclipse:
1. Open Eclipse
2. Click on Help at top menu
3. Click on Install New Software... sub-menu
4. Click on Add button
Do the following at Add Repository pop-up:
5. Enter name as (Example - testng)
6. Enter URL as your requirement:
For Eclipse 3.4 and above, enter http://beust.com/eclipse
For Eclipse 3.3 and below, enter http://beust.com/eclipse1
7. Click on OK button
8. Check process bar is displayed because plugin is installed in eclipse
After installation follow the steps below:
i) Restart eclipse
ii) Go to Window-> Preferences and observe the left panel
iii) TestNG is enlisted
I noticed it was proxy that was stopping for installation after configuring proxy it installed like cream.
earlier comment:
After a lot of attemp and trying different URL finally found the URL worked for me : http://beust.com/eclipse-old/eclipse-6.7.0.20120825_1316/
all other URL kept on giving error for MD5 example:
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=epp.package.jee, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
Problems downloading artifact: osgi.bundle,org.testng.eclipse,6.9.11.201604020423.
MD5 hash is not as expected. Expected: da03b0c2cd24e2636ad05a151538b195 and found 60ea74539d11470e704c4210de6e5573.
Problems downloading artifact: osgi.bundle,org.testng.eclipse.maven,6.9.11.201604020423.

if the link: http://beust.com/eclipse/ is not working for versions 3.4 and above, there could be some problem with the Network Connections of your eclipse.
Go to Window->Preferences-> search for SSL or Network Connections.
Check if the settings for the same are in place as per your internet/intranet.
open Eclipse
CLick on Help at top navigator
Click on install new software
Click on add Button
Add Repository pop-up is open
Enter name as (Example - TestNG)
Enter URL - http://beust.com/eclipse
Click on OK button
Check process bar is displayed because plugin is install in ecplise
After restart the eclipse
Check Testng is install in ecplise
For eclipse Luna - http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/testng-eclipse/metrics
Drag and drop the install icon to the eclipse workspace and follow instructions.
Works like charm.
In my case, looks like updates for Eclipse was the issue.
I just installed the updates to my eclipse (Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2) Build id: 20150219-0600) and restarted Eclipse.
Then, went to help->Eclipse Marketplace-> searched TestNG and Installed it.
This worked for me.
The given site "http://beust.com/eclipse" gets redirected to
http://dl.bintray.com/testng-team/testng-eclipse-release/
because of that eclipse fails to fetch the plugin in the original URL.
to fix that, go to help->install new software
now add new site at work with
"https://dl.bintray.com/testng-team/testng-eclipse-release/"
it is "https", doing this will list down the plugins available in the URL,
select TestNG, and continue to install it.
it worked for me, hope it works for you as well.

subversion issue with eclipse

I have recently configured eclipse for subversion by installing the plug-in subclipse. Now the problem is that when I try to import folders from svn I get this error:
Folder " does not exist remotely
The url that I provide is of the form "svn:// ... " and works fine with netbeans. Infact I was using netbeans until now and things were fine as far as svn was concerned. Another thing is that eclipse works fine if I try to import from a test url that I got from a website during subclipse installation. So eclipse can import projects from http://subclipse.tigris.org/svn/subclipse but throws the above error for my url(which is otherwise ok with netbeans). I am using ubuntu 11.04 if that is of any concern.
Thanks for any help,
I had also the same problem. But now it is working fine.
Solution
Window->Preferences->Team->SVN
Then select 'SVN Interface' as 'JavaHL'.
Click 'Apply' and then 'OK'.
Thats it...
In case anyone has this problem, check the option by proxy connectivity. Set it to manual.
If you are using the IBM RAD then please select
Window->Preferences->Team->SVN
Then select 'SVN Interface' as 'SVNKit(Pure Java)svnkIT'. Click 'Apply' and then 'OK'.
Have you imported your project into the same directory under Netbeans and Eclipse? If so that might be the problem, try to use a different location.

Can't install a Grails plugin

I'm trying to install the ws-client plugin for grails. When I run grails install-plugin ws-client, however, it gets to
Resolving plugin ws-client. Please wait...
and then it just appears to complete with no further information. I've tried deleting the plugin in the application.properties file (it is appearing there) but it doesn't help.
I know the plugin wasn't successfully installed either because I get an error when trying to import the ws-client.
Unable to resolve class groovyx.net.ws.WSClient
Does anyone know why it's not properly installing?
Thanks!
Update: When I run grails list-plugins -installed ws-client DOES show up, so perhaps it is being installed? But if so, why would the import statement be throwing the resolve error?
Update: It was definitely a problem with the installation. I don't know what the problem was, but I have managed to work around it. Posting an answer with the process.
Well I can't post an answer to myself because I need 100 Rep to answer myself in under 8 hours, and I of course only have 99... :)
The answer wound up being to right click "plugins" under the project in STS' Project Explorer window and manually locating the ws-client plugin and marking for installation. I'll post this as an actual answer in 5 hours.
So for some reason using the
grails install-plugin ws-client
command wasn't working correctly. I ran it from both the command line and STS's built in terminal. Both gave me the problem of it not completing installation, but not giving an error either.
Anyway, I finally managed to get the plugin installed by right clicking on "plugins" under my project in the STS Project Explorer window. From there you can open "Grails Plugin Manager" and search for ws-client. I selected it for installation and it wound up installing without a hitch.
Still don't know why I couldn't do it from regular command line, but this method worked and got it installed, so hopefully it helps someone else out in the future!
Another way that did work for me (I'm using STS) is to run grails install-plugin ws-client by accessing grails command-line through Ctrl+Alt+Shift+G (Cmd+Alt+Shift+G on Mac)
Also it helps to just "Refresh" the project after installing the plugin and rebuilding it (if you're Automatic Built is turned off)
