update fail

[maxandersen]

Running Eclipse 2020-12 I want to check for updates to get latest.

After lots of thinking it fails with:

Some sites could not be found.  See the error log for more detail.
Unable to read repository at http://dl.bintray.com/testng-team/testng-p2-release/content.xml.
dl.bintray.com:80 failed to respond
No repository found at http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/.
No repository found at http://fbricon.github.io/jbang.eclipse/update/.

Providing zero explanation or info on what to do as a user .

The sites are 3rd party ones still compatible with latest eclipse thus updating eclipse should at least still be feasible.

Even in a browser http://dl.bintray.com/testng-team/testng-p2-release gives:

The http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases URL is a folder containing update sites but is not an update site:

And https://fbricon.github.io/jbang.eclipse/update gives a 404:

So the result is not surprising.

Doesn't the update proceed based on the other sites that were loaded successfully loaded?

You can of course manage your sites via the preferences in Install/Update -> Available Software Sites.

Are you suggesting the dialog should point you at these preferences?

The update just stops. Zero dialog shown after it.

I'm perfectly fine it tells me these sites are missing. It's that no update is suggested or even informed what plugins these sites missing are preventing to update that is concerning.

For me the updates continue. so I see this:

Perhaps there were no updates found in your case, but I thought even then a dialog came up...

[maxandersen]

No dialog showed for me.

Unfortunately can't go back and reproduce as after running installer for latest I don't have the same update scenario available.

This is what happens when I try to force the issue in the latest version:

This is what I expect. Perhaps there was a bug fixed...
