This solution makes a lot of sense, thanks. Do you have insight as to how to configure a proxy for this standaloneUpdate from the command line? I've tried several combinations and have googled the problem.
Things I've tried: java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.100.v20080509-1800.jar -consoleLog -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command mirror -from http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/ -to c:/apps/m2eclipse-update -mirrorURL http://localhost/m2eclipse-update/ -vmargs -Dhttp.proxySet=true -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy.web.com -Dhttp.proxyPort=80 java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.100.v20080509-1800.jar -consoleLog -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command mirror -from http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/ -to c:/apps/m2eclipse-update -mirrorURL http://localhost/m2eclipse-update/ -vmargs -DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=proxy.web.com -DproxyPort=80 I always get the error message back: !ENTRY org.eclipse.update.core 4 0 2008-10-13 08:49:13.847 !MESSAGE Unable to access "http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/";. ...Stack trace... Thanks for the response, I was beginning to wonder if it was going to be answered.
