Description Aurelien Pupier CLA 2014-03-02 10:21:17 EST
I tried to use the psf file mentioned in the wiki http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute#Get_the_code_for_Platform_UI at the following url http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git/plain/releng/org.eclipse.ui.releng/platformUiProjects.psf

Unfortunately I encountered a pop up with doouble "Auth fail" error written but there was no error in log.

I modified all url in order to have http://git.eclipse.org/gitroot as prefix instead of ssh://git.eclipse.org:29418/platform and it is working

I tried to use WinSCp to connect to ssh://git.eclipse.org:29418 and i also facing Authentication failure even when I tried with my Eclipse credential.

By default it will connect with SSH, and unless specified it will use the default userid.  If that doesn't match, you need to update the ssh://git... to ssh://gerritUserid@git...  or change it to https as you did.

The solution here is to update the wiki to tell people that if their local userid doesn't match their gerrit userid, they need to modify the file.

"The solution here is to update the wiki to tell people that if their local userid doesn't match their gerrit userid, they need to modify the file."

and I suppose that you need to upload the ssh key as indicated here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/Gerrit#Git_over_SSH

I tried using the format ssh://gerritUserid:geerritPassword@ and it doesn't work neither.

Should  File>Import...>Install>Install Software Items from File be able to import a p2f file via http?

The wiki reads like it but this seems not to work.

I updated the wiki, see https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/How_to_Contribute#Get_the_code_for_Platform_UI

"Should  File>Import...>Install>Install Software Items from File be able to import a p2f file via http?"

Seems like another feature for me.
