Fail to download plugin using eclipse update manager

i have tried many time to install the plugin using eclipse update manager.
finally i manage to download it, it takes me two days to finish.
then it gave me error during the installation.
when i went to the update manager, it has started from the begining. thats mean it ill take another two days
here is my questions.
is there a link where i can download the pluging without the update manager, then install it?
where is the files that already downloaded by hte update manager? so i can just install it again?
Edited by: Abdulaziz Al-Sharekh on Jun 15, 2008 6:03 PM

i was able to download the plugins and then install it (without using update manager for downloading the plugin) in a 30 min.
i used this link
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/
which is one of the prerequisit for the Widget development tool

Java does not work at all upon using the update manager to update to firefox 3.6.10 for Ubuntu 9.0.4

OS: Ubuntu 9.0.4
Browser: Firefox 3.6.10
upon updating to firefox 3.6.10, java does not work at all.
websites that use java do not work at all anymore, when they worked just fine before the updating thru update manager. e.g. hulu website cannot play any of the shows.
i can give the folder of bookmarked pages i tried.
how to do that on here, i've yet to see if possible.
i can even give saved text from the terminal concerning certain attempts.
when i updated thru update manager, it gave some weird java plugin that wasn't there before "The IcedTea Web Browser Plugin IcedTea6 Java Web Browser Plugin (execution of applets on webpages)".
i uninstalled this as instructed by an answer found in one of the pages i saved, cuz it was conflicting w/another java program the updater said i needed. right now, i don't remember for sure what it was. it perhaps was realplayer flash or Java itself. w/all the hours/days of searching i put in, it's difficult if not downright impossible for me to remember all the specifics of what i tried.
i've searched throughout many webpages (including many searches on mozilla, ubuntu, java, etc) for instruction in fixing the problem.
oh, and incidentally, on the Java site, when i try the verify test of Java, firefox pops up with that yellow bar right below the slew of tabbed website windows, giving the statement "additional plugins are required to display all the media on this page. (w/link to) install missing plugins ." which is what i do, go thru the requesting plugin installation. it comes up with, guess what, the IcedTea Java Plugin. i click on the 'next' in the "Plugin Finder Service" box that pops up, & all it gives me is "No plugins were installed. IcedTea ...Plugin failed. and the link 'find out more about plugins or manually find missing plugins'". the link takes me to some of the very things/plugins that wouldn't install in the first place. the Java test failure is a LOL funny, as what plugin it is saying is required (IcedTea) is a recommended alternate program to display the very test in the first place.
i followed the given instructions on those many searched pages, in every case (barring what i may have just plain missed), but to no avail.
i've even gone to the point of trying to reinstall the previous 3.5.13 firefox version, from mozilla site. even that wouldn't install.
i've tried installing Java for my sys direct from it's site. nada.
now it's time for me to post the problem & perhaps someone will come up with some kind of "dummy" way to fix it.
until then many sites a regularly use are totally useless to me on this fast puter.
the only way i can get to use such sites, are two choices: 1. use a dinosaur laptop, which is slower than molasses & cannot handle to any streaming stuff, or 2. use an available internet access puter at the library. but useage for ea person per day is limited to only one hour a day. and one can end up waiting for an hour or more ( in the busiest periods) to even get to use one.
so, is there anyone at all, who knows any for-sure working fix for this problem?
thanks muchly :^D
p.s. i can't pay anybody any money for such help, as is required in certain sites (e.g. Java website), cuz i don't have any.
i can pay in labor tho, if there is someway to find someone who can physically be at this puter w/me, taking me step-by-step
sorry for the 20-pg essay. i hope it was all clearly understood. if, not, well, clear communication is always what is needed, ask away.

Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.
*Shockwave Flash 9.0 r999
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.
*http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
In Firefox 3.6 and later versions you need the Next-Generation Java™ Plug-In present in Java 6 U10 and later (Linux: libnpjp2.so; Windows: npjp2.dll).

Can't download plugin from Eclipse-Marketplace

I had Xcode 5, then tried to update as part of regular sw updates. It didn't update properly, I deleted, in order to just download the 6.1 version and all I get is "Xcode failed to download. Use Purchase pages to try again." How can I download Xcode?

Downloading Xcode 6.1 to iMac 10.9.5.
I've done the steps on the Terminal involving: defaults write com.apple.appstore ShowDebugMenu -bool true
Restarted computer.
Ejected other volumes on the iMac (external HD).
When trying to download from Purchases page, it ends about 90% complete with the message "An error has occurred."

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Update Retriever fails to download Intel Chipset Support update

When I ran Update Retriever (version 4.03.0006) on my R500 that is running Windows XP/SP3, and specify machine type = 2714, and operating system = Windows XP and language = English, in the search criteria, I am presented with the following available package:
Intel Chipset Support for Widows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8
It is interesting to note that Update Retriever says that no previous version of this driver exists, yet version 9.3.0.1020 of this driver is installed on that machine.
I selected the package and the download appeared to proceed, but at the end, I was informed that “1 update failed to be downloaded.” Selecting that link displays a box with the following information:
The following updates fail to be downloaded
Title                                                                                       Version       Name
Intel Chipset Support for Widows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8   9.3.0.1021 CHIPSET_G1IC
When I then selected the “View history” option followed by selecting the link to “View download history”, I am informed that the following updates were downloaded successfully
Title                       Version        Name
CHIPSET_G1IC   9.3.0.1021   Intel Chipset Support for Widows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8
If I now select “Manage Repository”, and select “Update view”, the package is not visible. It is also not visible if I browse the repository directly. This package is not presented to me when I run Thinkvantage System Update.
This also happened when I ran Update Retriever (version 4.03.0006) on my R61 that is running Windows XP/SP3, and specified machine type = 8932, and operating system = Windows XP and language = English, in the search criteria.
Please fix. Thanks.

Ever since I reported this problem, I have logged on almost every day and again tried to download this update using Update Retriever. Today, I am happy to say, the download was successful on both my R61 as well as my R500 machines. So thank-you Lenovo. The problem is resolved.
It is interesting to note, that after downloading the package, I then tried System Update and was surprised to note that the recently downloaded package was not presented to me as available for update. So back to Update Retriever to modify the status of the package from TEST to ACTIVE. Then back to System Update. No change. The package was still not available for update. If anybody has any ideas on why this is happening, I would appreciate their input. Maybe I will open a new post to help find a solution.

JVM crashes after ClassLoader-problem in Eclipse-Plugin using Eclipse 3.4

Hi all
while using plug-in com.lti.civil for displaying webcam in a SWT-Window or Swing-Frame the JVM crashed before displaying the stream.
It isn't happening when using in a normal java-project. it happens when it's implemented in a plugin.
I think it is a class-loader-problem.
I've debugged and came to the following technical result:
- Class NativeVideoFormat not found
- NoClassDefFoundError: 40
- JVM (jdk1.6.0_07\jre\bin) crashed with exit code -1073741819
I'm looking for days for a solution. Please somebody may help me!
Thanks very much.

The crash log is pretty generic, it's hard to say where exactly it crashed... The best way to report such incidents is to file bugs to JavaFX JIRA (http://javafx-jira.kenai.com), but without a details crash log or a test case, the bug will likely be closed as not reproducible.

Syslogd cpu use and Update Manager

Hello,
Forgive me if I missed this elsewhere, however I'm experiencing syslogd using 50% to 190% cpu time on a dual processor v280R system. Is this normal behavior or am I missing a patch?
Thanks,
Matt

Could you provide us with the output from prstat
I could understand if you were getting this problem from a process that was related to updatemanager, but unless updatemanager was causing entries to be logged then I wouldn't expect this behaviour.
Do you see the same behaviour when running smpatch (or other applications) ?

How do I install to JBuilder 2008 R2 using update manager.

I am trying to install OEPE 11g to JBuilder 2008 R2 using the update manager. JBuilder is now Eclipse based. I add the install site, select OEPE to install and get the following error.
Cannot complete the request. See the details.
Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements Match
[requiredCapability: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu/org.objectweb.asm/[2.2.3,2.2.3]].
I tried the individual components to narrow down the conflict. I also made sure JBuilder was current. I am new to Eclipse and do not know how to resolve this error. Suggestions?
Trying to install:
Oracle Database Tools - 1.1.1.200904131333
Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse - 1.1.1.200904131333
Oracle Spring ORM Tools - 1.1.1.200904131333
Did install:
JSF Facelets Tools Incubator - 0.1.0.200807291102
Oracle Common Tools - 1.1.1.200904131333
Oracle WebLogic Server Tools - 1.1.1.200904131333
Spring IDE Core (required) 2.2.0v200809261800 (JBuilder 2008 R2 comes with newer version, 2.2.1.v200811281800)

It seems the SpringIDE comes with JBuilder is not compatible with OEPE.
Try download the OEPE plugins from
http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/ganymede/oepe-ganymede-11.1.1.1.1.200904131333.zip
and unzip it into the /dropins folder of the JBuilder Eclispe installation directory. Then restart with -clean command line option.

Unable to update features using the NWDS Update Manager

I'm updating the NWDS and selecting the features to install from https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/ce/710
It hung midway while downloading:: plugins/com.sap.engine.clientapis_2.0.0.101103141034.jar (9928K of 10560K bytes)
I had to force kill the NWDS and when I restarted it and tried to update the features again, it doesn't try to download the clientapis jar that failed to download before. I don't find this jar in the eclipse\plugins folder either, so why does it skip this jar?
By the way, the features to install automatically listed were as below:
- https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/ce/710
- SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio CE 7.1 SP11 PAT000
   - SAP Netweaver Developer Studio Java EE 8.0.110000.101103141042
   - SAP Netweaver Developer Studio Development Infrastructure Client 8.0.110000.101103141042
   - SAP Netweaver Developer Studio Web Dynpro User Interfaces 8.0.110000.101103141042
   - SAP Netweaver Developer Studio Composition Tools 8.0.110000.101103141042
Now it gets repeatedly hung while downloading the jar file
plugins/com.sap.devmanual.doc.user_1.1....818085804.jar everytime I kill and restart and try to update.
The way I update is from the Help menu->Install/Update->Search for new features to install.
In the "Product Configuration" I see the below
- SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio
- E:\Program Files\SAP\IDE\CE\eclipse
    - SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Platform 8.0.110000.101103141042
       -Eclipse Platform 3.3.0.v20070612-_19UEkLEzwdF0jSqQ-G
           - Eclipse RCP 3.3.0.v20070607-8y8eE8NEbsN3X_fjWS8HPNG
       - SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio Composition Environment 7.1.7.1.0.101103141042
Can someone please help understand what is happening and how to get the update manager working, before I get fired from my job for showing no productivity since 2 days? If it is a matter of the mirror being down, can you tell how I can choose a different mirror for a site in the Eclipse Update Manager?

Is there any issue with connection to the network(internet) fromt he NWDS?
Usually, NWDS is unable to connect to network due to incorrect Network Connection parameters.
As a workaround, try to locate an existign installation of the NWDS with all the plugins. Ontain those files and save it in your NWDS folder.

CR for Eclipse Update Released

Hello All! A new update for Crystal Reports for Eclipse is now available. This update contains fixes reported by CR for Eclipse users. For a list of the fixes available, consult the <a href="http://www.businessobjects.com/products/dev_zone/eclipse/cr4e-updates-readme.pdf" target="_blank">readme.pdf</a>. To get the latest updates, use the Update Manager in Eclipse. If you don't already have CR for Eclipse installed, follow the steps found <a href="/node/432" target="_blank">here</a> and you will get the latest version. If you already have CR for Eclipse installed, then follow the instructions below: 1. From Eclipse, click on the Help menu, and then Software Updates > Find and Install... to open the Install/Update wizard. 2. Select "Search for updates of the currently installed features" and click Next. If, and when, prompted with the Update Site Mirrors dialog, simply accept the default mirror sites and click on OK to continue. This may take a few minutes to complete. 3. After the update manager finished searching for available updates, the following dialog appears. Ensure the Business Objects Update Site is checked. If you do not wish to install the other updates, uncheck the update(s) that are not required. Click the Next button to continue. <img src="/files/images/cr4e_updates_dialog.bmp" alt="Eclipse Update Manager" title="Eclipse Update Manager" width="585" height="487" align="absmiddle" /> 4. Review and accept the license agreements for each Feature and click the Next button, and then the Finish button. The update manager will take some time to download all of the Features.5. During the download, you will be prompted with the Verification dialog to accept the (un)signed features. Click on the Install All button to install all the features.6. After Eclipse verifies and installs the Features, it is recommended that you restart Eclipse.For all your feedback, please use the Crystal Reports for Eclipse <a href="/forum/193" target="_blank">forums</a> to place your comments. We will make every effort to respond to your comments. Mandeep Jassal Program Manager Business Objects

I don't want to install for:
1) I would be the only developer on my team with it installed (differing development environments begs for disaster)
2) There seems to be a real disconnect in how Crystal is begin updated. For example, can you tell which version of the Crystal jars CR4E is using?
I was previously using CR XI R2 jar files in my project. I ran into a snag (JRC failed to honor table alias names) in which the tech rep suggested I "back down" to using the CR4E jar files to fix my problem. I now have a case logged in which the native pervasive driver has a major disconnect while retrieving the data. This fix is in FP2.4 for CR XI R2. See my scenario? What is being fixed in one release is getting broken in another.
My only purpose with the JRC is to run the reports. I do my design work in the CR designer.
Yes, I am fully aware my key for CR XI works in CR4E as well as CR XI R2.
Thanks for the feedback and if there is anyway of pushing the separate download along, it gets my vote.

Error "A web exception has occurred during file upload" when trying to import ESXi image file into Update Manager

I'm encountering this error and not sure how to fix, I'm quite new to vCenter so please bear with me.
I'm trying out vCenter 5.1 with Update Manager 5.1 right now. No license key has been entered and I still have 50 odd days to try it out.
2 ESXi hosts are being managed by this vCenter, and they're both running ESXi 4.0
I'm looking to use Update Manager to try to upgrade the ESXi 4.0 hosts to ESXi 5.1
I downloaded the image file VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso from VMWare website, and is looking to import it using the Update Manager so I can update the ESXi hosts, but I keep on getting the error:
File name: VMware-VIMSetup-all-5.1.0-799735.iso
Failed to transfer data
Error was: A web exception has occurred during file upload
I tried importing it by using vSphere client to connect to vCenter server both remotely and locally, with firewall disabled.
I've read http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1026602
I've disabled firewall, and there is no anti-virus program on the server. I've also restarted the machine several times, to no avail, I didn't reinstall update manager because the whole Windows and VCenter installations are clean from scratch.
I logged into the vSphere Client using Active Directory credentials, and I've made all Domain Admins (which my account is a member of) part of the administrator group on the vCenter server. I can't log in using admin@System-Domain because it tells me I don't have permissions for it, I still haven't really had the chance to figure out why that is and not sure if that makes a difference.
Also, I'm fairly certain I'm using the right image file, as I've burned some DVD's used that image file to upgrade some other ESXi hosts. Unless there's a special image file I need to download?
I'm at lost on what I can do to make it work. Please advise.
Thanks.

The ISO file you mentioned is the one for vCenter Server. What you need is the "VMware-VMvisor-Installer-5.1.0-799733.x86_64.iso" (or VMware-VMvisor-Installer-201210001-838463.x86_64.iso) for the ESXi host.

Update Manager issues

I have been using solaris for going on 10 years now. In the past I would download the latest patch cluster from Sunsolve, burn it to a cd, and install the cluster from single user mode. When 10 came out, I was excited to see and experiment with the update manager. I am not too excited now. I am rather dissapointed. The update manager freezes half the time and now smpatch generates errors and will not work at all. Update manager also stopped working totally until I backed out one of the "patching" patches.
So, I went back to the CD method and found the return codes have changed until the appropriate switch was added to the install_cluster script. Does anyone use this update manager? Seems like a pain to me.

I too have the same problems with Update Manager, on both Sparc and x86 machines. When I update anything, I've gone to the effort to watch cpu, disk, and network activity in the performace monitor. When all three have flat-lined, then I know to abort the updating.
When Update Manager fails, I erase all contents of the /var/sadm/spool folder to start from scratch. Then, rather than reverting to cluster patching, I use smpatch.
smpatch analyze > patchlist
smpatch download -x idlist=patchlist
I look at a resulting patchlist*.txt file to see in what order the patches need to be applied.
One should then be able to apply all of the patches in the single user mode by:
smpatch order -x idlist=patchlist > orderlist
smpatch add -x idlist=orderlist
However, I don't trust all of them to add without failure, so add each one individually, taxing my patience:
smpatch add -i 123456-01 (the number of the patch's jar file)
After I have installed all pending patches and reboot, I feel confident to try Update Manager again. At least I can use it to tell me if patches exist. Note that after rebooting, you'll need to run Update Manager manually from Launch > Applications > Utilities > Update Manager in the Java Desktop.
Good luck. I hope for both of our sakes that something better comes along in our lifetime.
