3.5RC1 I tried to add JDT Optional Plug-ins with p2[1]. To verify if the site I entered is valid I navigated to Available Software Sites pref page using the link on the Install wizard. The JDT extras site was there so I clicked "Test Connection". The test went fine. Then I closed the pref page and opened it again. A new entry appeared, please take a look at the following screen shot. [1] bug 276884
Created attachment 136300 [details] Available Software Site pref page
On JDT UI[1] site there is an info about two update sites: 1. http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/ui/update-site 2. http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/ui/astview/index.php The strange entry looks like it has something to do with the AST view site (2.) but I didn't add it, at least in a way I'm aware of :) [1] http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/ui/index.php#optional
(In reply to comment #2) > On JDT UI[1] site there is an info about two update sites: Well, this is not true. There is only one update site -> http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/ui/update-site. But still, each time I add it the second one appears out of nowhere.
There are a number of ways a site can get added to the pref page as a disabled site. It can be referred to by another repository, or as the update site for a newly installed feature, etc. So it's not completely surprising that a site can appear in this list without you knowing about it. That said, I don't see any references in the http://www.eclipse.org/jdt/ui/update-site/site.xml that would explain why this reference is added. Ian, I set a breakpoint in LocalMetadataRepository.publishRepositoryReferences() and sure enough, there are 4 references being published after the update site is parsed. Two references are to the original site URI (?) and two are to this URI: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt-ui-home/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.astview/AST-View-Site/ Can you explain what is happening here? Is this a bug?
It seems a little strange. I'm pretty sure we are not adding random URLs to the list of known repositories, but stranger things have happened. I wonder if one of the features specify an Update URL? I will see if I can track down where this is coming from.
Yep, it appears: Feature org.eclipse.jdt.astview.feature version: 1.0.1 has specified an UpdateSite URL as: http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt-ui-home/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.astview/AST-View-Site/ We see this when publishing the site.xml, and add it to the known list of repos.
thanks, Ian. For some reason, I thought I had to actually install a feature to get its update site added as a repo ref. I didn't realize it happened when I add the site that contains it, but I can understand why (since we are already parsing everything). So I think we can mark this as INVALID as there is no bug here.
