Eclipse plugin problem

Question

When ever I try to do soft ware updates through my Eclipse Galileo, I get the following error

Unable to connect to repository http://pydev.org/updates/content.xml

Connection timed out: connect

Please help!!

Answer 1

That's a redirect to: http://update-production-pydev.s3.amazonaws.com/pydev/updates (so, you can try that directly).

If it still fails, it means that amazon is having issues (which means you'll have to try later again).

Cheers,

Are you using (just) http://pydev.org/updates as the url? The "location" field should only have "http://pydev.org/updates", no content.xml. Seems to be working fine for me (with Helios).

Actually I checked what happens when you use "http://pydev.org/updates/content.xml", and it does seem to give the type of error you describe. (You would think it could give a slightly better error, but oh well.)

• Soumya: Hi,I am using only pydev.org/updates....after it gives the error it shows content.xml..
• Manius: No kidding? And you're not behind a firewall or anything like that I assume? That should be working fine, and I just confirmed the site is up a few minutes ago.
• Soumya: I looked into everythg...But i think I coudnt get through the problem. I installed it manually finally :)
• Manius: Pretty weird, I'd be wondering if it's just the one site, or are other update sites broken too?
