Eclipse juno fails to install a zipped mirror of the latest m2e release. We have no internet connectivity on certain machines and need to install m2e. Followed steps from http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/m2e-users/msg02975.html and http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Repository_Mirroring but juno fails with the msg: No software site found at jar:file:/F:/path/to/m2e-mirror.zip!/
Previously did successful install of Subversive zip archives into juno, where the zips were built by Subversive and made available for download. Compared the contents of the Subversive zips and the mirror of m2e and found differences....notably, the Subversive zip included a site.xml file that the m2e mirror lacks. Perhaps this is what juno is expecting? The command to download p2 metadata *only* pulls content.jar. Perhaps juno is expecting more metadata, like site.xml? Humbly suggest that m2e maintainers begin to offer zip archives for download/install. Details follow: 0) downloaded/unpacked eclipse-testing-juno-win32.zip to flash drive. 1) mirror latest release (to flash drive) by running cmd from flash drive: %CD%\eclipse.exe -nosplash -verbose -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication -source http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.1/1.1.0.20120530-0009 -destination file:%CD%\m2e-mirror %CD%\eclipse.exe -nosplash -verbose -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.mirrorApplication -source http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.1/1.1.0.20120530-0009 -destination file:%CD%\m2e-mirror m2e-mirror abbr. contents: -- content.jar -- artifact.jar -- plugins/ -- features/ Subversive abbr. contents: -- site.xml -- associates.xml -- various html files -- content.jar -- artifact.jar -- plugins/ -- features/ -- web/ site.xml abbr. contents: <site associateSitesURL=""> <feature url="features/foo.jar"> <category-def name=""> 2) zipped m2e-mirror, moved flash drive to internet-poor machine. 3) eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software... -> Add... -> Archive... BOOM Can anyone who maintains m2e help solve this problem? _______________________________________________ m2e-users mailing list [email protected] https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/m2e-users
