Eclipse Update Site not working
WTBenjamin opened this issue · 26 comments
The linked update site:
https://github.com/ArcBees/gwtp-eclipse-plugin/raw/master/update
leads to a HTTP Error 404 (not found)
Please fix it.
hmmm, I'll check this out. thanks for reporting.
Still doesn't work :(
Shouldn't the link be:
https://github.com/ArcBees/gwtp-eclipse-plugin/tree/master/update
No, because then it points to HTML file which shows that folder. The provided link is correct, as points to raw content, but there must be something missing as Eclipse does not work with it.
The link doesn't work either with raw in a normal context. Need to ask Github why
This won't work as it's only working for files and not for folders. We have to host the plugin somewhere else or on a github page.
Its xml or it needs a welcome page. The 404 is legit, we just need to stick a file there for it to use as the welcome page I think. I think the best option is offer it through the Eclipse Market Place, then it would take 3 steps to install.
I have a feeling that a dependency has to be added to work with juno. I noticed that it was set for helios when I was operating on it, but wasn't sure if it was greater than helios or just helios. I'm going to attempt to work on it on Saturday more.
Any news on this?
Sorry not there yet. I am prepping the first component which is the creation using a maven archetype on my off time. I have a database in design for storing useful archetypes and will integrate that with the plugin. This should allow for more dynamically driven plugin. I've been working on the Archetype database tonight for the plugin. I also have started on a redesign of the wizard steps but haven't had enough time to expedite it as fast as I like. But I would think in the next couple few weeks I should be able to get the next version based on maven archetype building out. I'll include a standard project builder out of the templates, for those who use standard project too. The other modules and feature creations should be easier to add once this core has been rebuilt.
This is my project where I'm experimenting with the Archetype list part and plugin changes.

I'm glad about your effort and looking forward to the new version.
Replacing the EventBus import manually in every new class is really annoying (gwtp eclipse plugin 0.6.1 and gwtp 0.8).
Good to hear. Oh yea, I know that pain. I think we have some nifty things coming out and I see much potential in setting up presenters, child presenters and doing all kinds of fun things. But I'll aim to get the basics up in running not to far off future.
As a workaround you can download 0.7 version from here and put into eclipse plugins directory: https://github.com/ArcBees/gwtp-eclipse-plugin/tree/master/update/plugins
Thanks for sharing. Will that not update automatically once the update site is added?
I will try to update the plugin manually later. (Thanks for that hint)
The update site delivers only the old version 0.6.1.
@okrasz
Putting the new jar into the eclipse plugins directory did not do the trick for me. It still uses the old version.
I then deleted the old jar from the plugins directory. After that no gwtp plugin was available in eclipse at all.
After that i even tried to replace the features jar + directory of the plugin without any success.
I just don't get eclipse to use the new plugin.
Sorry if i am missing something obvious, but it's not working that way.
What version of eclipse are you using?
I put the com.gwtplatform.plugin_0.7.0.201211041035.jar in the plugins directory but as you say, it was still 0.6.1. So I uninstalled the 0.6.1 through Help -> About Eclipse -> Installation Details -> Installed Software tab -> Select GWT Platform -> Uninstall . As I understand you deleted 0.6.1 from plugins dir. Maybe that is the difference.
You can also try putting it to dropins directory instead of plugins. I think now dropins is actually exptect to be used for manually put plugins, while plugins dir for those managed by Eclipse.
Are you using Juno for the Eclipse version?
And I use Juno SR1.
Awesome, thanks. I'm going to try to check Juno version tomorrow. Thanks for reporting.
@branflake2267 I think you have the "powers" to change update site so it actually provides 0.7.0 rather then 0.6.1. The update site now works, but just still provides old version. Also the old wiki page still points to old update site. I know we should use GitHub now, but Google still points it there and there is just one note about GitHub in the old project main page.
Gotcha. Thanks for showing me that. I see about changing that asap. :)
@okrasz I finally had the time to retry replacing the plugin manually. Vour instructions were worth gold. I had to uninstall the old plugin and put the new one in the dropins directory. (I am using Juno SR1, too) Thank you very much!
Nevertheless i would appreciate the comfort to get new versions via the update site :)
Update site works for the newest release. Moving forward with it.
