I'm testing Integration Build: I20100224-2100 on Win7 64-bit and installation via the update manager is so slow during the "Calculating requirements and dependencies..." phase that the first several times I thought it was broken. I tried the following update sites: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x http://download.instantiations.com/out/QualityEclipse/continuous/latest/update/3.5/ Then after a long time ( 15 minutes or so ) the following appears... Some sites could not be found. See the error log for more detail. No repository found at http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6-I-builds/I20100216-0800. No repository found at http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.2/S-3.2.0M2-20090924194346/updateSite. Browsing http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6-I-builds/I20100216-0800, I see "Access Forbidden" and and http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.2/S-3.2.0M2-20090924194346/updateSite returns a 404. During this long period, I finally noticed that every so often a jar file name would briefly appear in the workbench status line area. I'm guessing that p2 is trying to access multiple files on each of these 2 unavailable repositories. Perhaps if a repository is unavailable, it could more gracefully degrade... somehow let the user know that things are not being found as it is happening. In the short term, I don't know if the problem is on my end or that the URLs need to be fixed in the e4 build or that the update site is not yet ready for prime time, but it was a fairly painful wait to install software using the update manager. - Dan
You mentioned that some files were being downloaded from time to time. Do you happen to remember the name of those files? Where they features? I suspect that we get stuck in the download of the feature from the tigris site because I don't believe they have a content.xml.
Also can you reproduce this?
I got into the same situation (very slow, no visible progress) today, trying to install the SWT tools into a recent e4 SDK.

During my tests yesterday, I tried the tigris update site, thought it was broken, so canceled the update. So I started again with a clean e4 install, downloaded the tigris update site zip file, installed from that local archive, and saw the same result. Thus I don't think the tigris site has anything to do with the problem. Today I downloaded the e4 I20100225-2100 build and again installed from the tigris update site zip file. The "Calculating requirements and dependencies" phase finished in about 2 minutes... much faster than when I installed from the tigris update site zip file yesterday, so I'm assuming that the Eclipse site is more responsive. I opened the progress view before the installation, and saw the following files flash by (they were only briefly displayed so I captured what I could) ... 3.6 Ibuild content.jar ... webtools r3.2 updateSite content.xml ... compositeContent.xml? After about two minutes the "Problem Occurred" dialog opened with the following message No repository found at http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.2/S-3.2.0M2-20090924194346/updateSite. I think that the biggest issue here is more appropriate user feedback when the "Calculating requirements and dependencies" phase takes longer than 20 seconds so that the user does not think that the operation is broken/hung.
I ran into this same problem when working with an update site. I found that the issue was a check box: Contact all update sites during install to find required software I am wondering if something has changed so that this is now the default behavior when updating? If so, I think it should be changed back. It takes WAY to long to contact all update sites in anything more than a really trivial Eclipse install.
Okay! I can't take it anymore. Can someone PLEASE HELP? I'm running Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 at my office. I have downloaded and installed the Java SE JDK 6 Update 18. I have downloaded and extracted Eclipse Classic 3.5.2 (Galileo) to the following location on my hard disk "C:\Program Files\eclipse". I have 2 sites listed (by default) in the Window->Preferences->Install/Update->Available Software Sites: Galileo http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo The Eclipse Project Updates http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.5 both locations are Enabled. When I go to Help->Install New Software... I get the following error message: Some sites could not be found. See the error log for more detail. Unable to connect to repository http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.5/content.xml Connection refused: connect Unable to connect to repository http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/content.xml Connection refused: connect I have spent days search for a solution on the WWW and have not found one. I guess there are a few solutions out there for other platforms that I am unfamilar with (i.e., ubuntu, linux, etc.), but I have not found any solutions relating to Windows XP. Can someone PLEASE HELP? I'am willing to provide any information I can to get this problem resolved.
Moving Roger's previous comment to bug #307382
Dan, Boris, Scott, could you guys please try again with a recent build? I have not been able to reproduce this.
Closing for now to cleanup 3.6 bucket. Feel free to reopen.
New builds (mainly on Eclipse Helios) are using this option on Install New Software dialog: - Contact all update sites during install to find required software Uncheck this, and the "Calculating requirements and dependencies" will run fine and quickly. I don't know why this checkbox comes checked. This is the real bug.
i am working on Version: Mars.2 (4.5.2) . I was trying to update the swtbot through swtbot snapshot site http://download.eclipse.org/technology/swtbot/snapshots. but it is so slow in "Calculating requirements and dependencies..." almost stuck . I have disabled the checkbox "Contact all update sites during install to find required software" , but still no success. Then i disabled the all the sites in available software in sites in window->preferences->Install/Update->Available Software Sites and kept only swtbot site enabled. Then it worked super fast. i was expecting the same behavior while i disabled "Contact all update sites during install to find required software" checkbox. does this checkbox work ?
