"No Repository Found" When Installing Liberty Development Tools in Fresh Eclipse

[jpshiffler]

I'm getting the following error when trying to install Liberty Development Tools from the Eclipse Marketplace on a brand new Eclipse install - Eclipse version 2021-03 (4.19.0).

Steps to reproduce:

• Download Eclipse installer from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/oomph/epp/2021-03/R/eclipse-inst-jre-win64.exe
• Run and select "Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java Web Developers"
• When prompted for a Java 11+ VM during the install process, select "JRE 15.0.2 - http://download.eclipse.org/justj/jres/15/updates/release/15.0.2"
• Launch Eclipse once the install completes, and point to a brand new workspace
• Go to Help -> Eclipse Marketplace and attempt to install "Liberty Developer Tools 21.0.0.3" (or by dragging the install button on https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/ibm-liberty-developer-tools to the Eclipse window)
• When the "Confirm Selected Features" window appears, click "Confirm >" to accept the default packages.

The error I get is "No repository found at http://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/websphere/wasdev/updates/wdt/2021-03_comp/."

This appears to be the same issue that was referenced in https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty-tools/issues/409#issuecomment-843979900. That user seemed to be fixed by telling Java to prefer IPv4, but I tried that and that has not worked for me.

Eclipse error log file is attached: .log

My eclipse.ini file is as follows:

The liberty developer tools health page on the Eclipse Marketplace site also reports this same message as an error (see https://www.eclipse.org/setups/marketplace/?id=1778478)

@jpshiffler @bsbravo Coming back to this after a while, there is definitely content at https://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/websphere/wasdev/updates/wdt/2021-03_comp/ and https://www.eclipse.org/setups/marketplace/?id=1778478 shows no errors - what I think happened is that public.dhe.ibm.com was temporarily offline or unavailable when you last tried. I've been successful in installing, so what I will do is close this issue for now, but please reopen this if you continue to experience problems.
