Description Susan McCourt CLA 2010-05-04 14:03:22 EDT 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #311338 +++

1. Click Help -> Install New Software
2. Choose a Update Site
3. Check Feature
4. Click Next

The following exception is thrown:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Location must be absolute: %25update.label
at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.repository.helpers.AbstractRepositoryManager.checkValidLocation(AbstractRepositoryManager.java:703)
at 



p2 is being quite unforgiving in the original bug and we will fix that.
However, the broken repo reference should be fixed or else there will likely be artifacts that won't be found.

What I observe is that the site
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/staging/

contains a reference to an artifact repository whose location is
%25update.label

The content manifest for the MDT interim repository (at http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/mdt/updates/interim) contained two such bogus references, which have been removed. This should fix the problem, unless there is another such repository lurking in another project...

Thanks Ken, you're right. the latest aggregation has no warnings in the log, 
https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/view/Repository%20Aggregation/job/helios.runBuckyBuild/615/console 

and it has been promoted to staging. 

Good things those bugs were there though to help iron out the new p2 function :)

Right... except that this build doesn't reference the problematic "interim" repository (rather, it references the "milestones" repository instead). In any case, I think we should be in the clear now...
