After installing RC3 package of JEE IDE, I see about 5 update sites ... that's more than we had ... but 3 or so should not be there ... and, what makes Mylyn so special? :) Did I miss the memo? <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <bookmarks> <site url="http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/galileo" selected="true" name="EPP Packages Repository"/> <site url="http://download.eclipse.org/releases/staging" selected="true" name="Galileo"/> <site url="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.5" selected="true" name="The Eclipse Project Updates"/> <site url="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.5milestones/" selected="false" name=""/> <site url="http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/" selected="false" name=""/> <site url="http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/e3.4/" selected="false" name=""/> </bookmarks>
There should be - Galileo repo - Platform 3.5 repo - EPP Packages Repository as can be seen in the p2.inf files from the package. I don't think you missed a memo. I'll have to investigate where the others are coming from, but I guess that they are either defined in some of the features or they are added automatically after you updated the list of repositories.
I'm changing to 'blocker' to document I think this should be one of our highest priorities. It is a huge regression not to have update sites of all contributing projects in the built-in list of repositories. The reason it is huge, is that is how users get 1. maintenance, directly from contributing projects 2. "extras" that are not part of Java IDE Package ... such as the source for code, SDK docs, examples, etc.
Created attachment 138959 [details] Window | Preferences | Install/Update | Available Software Sites Now I found the location where you have seen the repositories. At least, they are disabled after a fresh install of the JEE package with a new workspace. But I don't know *why* they are there.
Oh, sorry, figured everyone would magically know what I was talking about. And, yes, the "extra" ones are disconcerting, but I'm also concern that the other expected ones are not there ... none for webtools, emf, etc.
Created attachment 138961 [details] preferences after fresh install, new workspace I don't see the additional repositories any more and I think this is the expected behaviour now. (1) If you unpack the latest RC4 build of the JEE package, start with a fresh/empty workspace and open *immediately* the preferences page, you will see three repository locations listed. This is the expected behaviour and shown in this screenshot. (2) If you open the "Install" dialog in the meantime, the three built-in repositories are contacted and their content is used to augment the list of repository locations. E.g. when contacting the EPP repository, you are currently redirected to the milestone location of the repository. I can only speak for the EPP repository - this will change when we release, but I cannot say anything about the other two repositories that are added.
still no idea where mylin comes from, eh? http://download.eclipse.org/tools/mylyn/update/e3.4/ I do just see it after selecting "install new software", and then looking at available sites ... but, seems odd one of those sites would have that reference? But, anyway, I have also opened bug 280024 which I think explains why the list is not populated with full list of sites (after contacting /galileo/staging). I think one partial work around, would be for me to provide you with more update sites for the p2.inf file? Does that seem reasonable to you?
This fixed in latest builds. Much thanks! Very nice.
