Hi James.
I'm having trouble reproducing this problem. This is what I tried:
Working on a Windows XP machine:
1) downloaded the current Eclipse version (3.3.1.1)
2) started it up, went to menu Help -> SoftwareUpdates -> Find and Install
- added the uima site as a remote
- selected that site, plus the "EMF" site (EMF is a pre-req for UIMA)
- hit next and waited for the next selection screen.
3) picked uima, expanded the EMF twistie, and pushed "add required
plugins" (not sure of the name, typing from memory...)
It all downloaded / installed without errors, and seems to have worked.
Can you provide details on steps that might reproduce the problem?
Thanks. -Marshall

Hi James -
This is our first try at doing the update site, and we simultaneously
were the first project in the incubator to move the distribution point
for our project to the new Apache location for incubator distributions
and set up "mirroring". I'll take a look (tomorrow) and see if I can
figure out what's gone wrong.

Hi developers et al.,
I'm pleased the Eclipse plugins can now be installed using an Eclipse
update
site, but have two issues:
1. The site reported in the (online) documentation is wrong, it should
be:
http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/uima/eclipseUpdateSite/
(In the documentation the last directory is given as
eclipse-update-site.)
2. When I ask Eclipse to visit the site to install new features it
reports
an error:
Unable to access "
http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/uima/eclipseUpdateSite ". Error
accessing site stream. [Invalid byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence.]
...
When I examine site.xml in a browser it *looks* OK to me. Any ideas? (I
should also point out I already have the plugins installed manually, but
would like to get the update feature working too, for the future.)
TIA,
James
