JBoss Tools 4 Alpha 1 - doesn't install

[andypickler]

OS: Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit

JDK: OpenJDK 1.7_07 (for compiling projects)

Eclipse JDK: Oracle JDK 1.7_07 (specified in eclipse.ini)

I followed today's blog posting to install the new JBoss Tools 4 Alpha 1 build, but Eclipse doesn't find any updates.  The .log file in my workspaces folder has this entry:

Note...I did follow all the instructions in the blog entry, including downloading a fresh install of Eclipse Juno (for Java EE developers).

I am having the exact same issue... please help... update site not picking up anything. (I can install from the nightly build fine)

[snjeza]

You can try the http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/juno/ update site.

[paradigmza]

Yes that is the site that is not working "I normally use the nightly build site" but am trying out the "more stable" alpha 1 build site, and it is bugged. Something on that dependency list is trying to connect to "

No repository found at http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/JBossTools-4.0.0.Alpha1b.core/."

which is causing the issue. Did that update site work for you??

[paradigmza]

You dont even need to install anything to test it, just add the update site to the install manger/tool and you will see that it does not list any products to install.

[snjeza]

The http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/JBossTools-4.0.0.Alpha1b.core/ update site doesn't exist anymore.

[paradigmza]

I am using the correct update site "http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/juno/" and as you can see "There are no items available" and when I go look into the log file I see the message that the original poster supplied. I have never heard of or used or seen the update site with Alpha1b.core.

Does the update site work for you? maybe it is a caching thing on our side.

[snjeza]

You are right. Try http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/JBossTools-4.0.0.Alpha1.core/

[paradigmza]

New link working, thanks.

[andypickler]

This morning the "regular" link (http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/juno/) seems to now work for me.

[nickboldt]

Sorry gang, that was my fault. Forgot to update 2 composite*.xml files when I was publishing the bits.

So... the site worked (pointing at Alpha1b) until I did the usual rename from Alpha1b to Alpha1, and works again when I realized I'd forgotten to ALSO update the metadata in http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/juno/ to ALSO point at the Alpha1 (not Alpha1b) bits.

Mea culpa.

[andypickler]

No worries, Nick.  Thanks for the prompt response.
