Description Andrew Niefer

Using I20100504-0800, I tried to install CDT from the Helios repository.  During the calculating dependencies phase, it started downloading tptp jars.

Looking in my preferences I see a disabled tptp site http://download.eclipse.org/tptp/updates, a browser shows there is both a content.jar and a site.xml at that location.

were the jars actual feature jars or were they repository jars?
Getting the actual file name would help sort this out.

As of M7, we follow enabled artifact repo references from the metadata repo in hand.  This allows things like "install from another eclipse" to work without having to contact all sites.  So a download might occur, for example, for some artifacts.jar file that belongs to an enabled site reference.  Shouldn't happen from a disabled reference, which is why knowing which jar was being downloaded is important...

For posterity, since I was able to get a screen shot while this was happening to me, one of the downloaded jars was org.eclipse.tptp.platform.analysis.engine_4.4.0.v200906091631-7877-8s733J4A4C4C69.jar.  That looks like a plugin jar to me?

I installed 3.6M7, did not change anything, and tried to install RSE using the Install New Software dialog and the Helios site.  It sat for fifteen minutes downloading jars.
