Eclipse update site does not work

[gpennella-sysgo]

http://dl.bintray.com/freemarker/freemarker-ide/ does not work as update site. If I try to connect with a browser, it say "Forbidden!". If I try via ECLIPSE the error is: "No repository found at http://dl.bintray.com/freemarker/freemarker-ide/."

Pls check the permissions on the site.

Thanks.

Yes, because JFrog has ended the Bintray service. I'm not yet sure where should I host the update site now. But meanwhile, the update site can be downloaded from https://github.com/ddekany/jbosstools-freemarker/releases.

OK ! Thanks. Please note that in ECLIPSE 2021-03 FreeMarker IDE install nicely, while Jboss part not. I have installed via the ZIP file downloaded from the releases directory you mentioned.

Thanks for support.

GP.

Yeah, it's kind of messy. Like Forbidden instead of 404 is weird too. But they said that all will be deleted in coming days/weeks anyway.

Hello,

A ZIP Update Site is not really practical when using Oomph (which can't download plugins from ZIP directly). If you seek a solution, you may look at what I've done for my own plugins: https://github.com/glhez/eclipse-plugins/blob/master/.travis.yml

At the end of the build, I simply copy the content of the update site to the GitHub site making available at https://glhez.github.io/eclipse-plugins/ Travis does that (but ... is sadly also going "down" like bintray) or you can do that manually using a dedicated bash script (this should work to some extends):

#!/bin/bash
declare TARGET_DIR=../jbosstools-freemarker-gh-pages
set -e
[[ ! -d "${TARGET_DIR}" ]] && git worktree add "${TARGET_DIR}" gh-pages
rm -Rfv "${TARGET_DIR}/update-site"
cp -Rfv "path/to/target/repository" "${TARGET_DIR}/update-site"
pushd "${TARGET_DIR}"
git add update-site
git commit -m 'update site'
git push origin
popd

The idea is to copy the whole p2 repository to the gh-pages branch.

This use a worktree but you could also clone another copy directly.

Others are indeed publishing now to GitHub pages: https://github.com/checkstyle/eclipse-cs/issues/279

[ddekany]

Yes, eventually I will get to it, and update the build to do that.

Until then, what is the manual process for installing the plugin from the release ZIP file?

[ddekany]

You can use this update site, thanks to the PR of @glhez: http://ddekany.github.io/jbosstools-freemarker/updates/ Will test with more Eclipse and update this on Eclipse Marketplace.
