Description Thomas Hallgren

A client of mine had sever problems trying to aggregate the update/e3.4 repository. After some debugging deep down in p2 code, I found the cause. The p2 metadata contains this entry:

    <property name='p2.mirrorsURL' value='http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/mylyn/update/e3.4/categories.xml&amp;protocol=http&amp;format=xml'/>

The '/categories.xml' part of that URL is incorrect and should be removed. It completely invalidates all mirroring. p2 tries its best to find artifacts like

<some mirror>/tools/mylyn/update/e3.4/categories.xml/plugins/org.eclipse.mylyn.tasks.search_3.4.0.v20100608-0100-e3x.jar

but fails every time. It takes quite some time for p2 to figure out that all mirrors are invalid.

Args. Sorry about that. I have fixed the mirror URL and re-generated the meta-data. Please let me know if you are still seeing this.
