Available software sites list cluttered and update painfully slow #851

Closed 4javier closed 2 years ago

4javier commented 2 years ago

My STS installation is extremely slow on updates. 5-10 kb/s in the fetching and calculating space phase. I checked my available software sites and found some strange entries.

This is the export

Is there a clean list I can use, adding just the sources I know are needed by some libs I installed explicitly? And anyone knows how could I ended up with this mess?

martinlippert commented 2 years ago

This looks indeed very broken and weird. I can see many update sites from various third-party extensions in this list, including Groovy-Eclipse, old things from Oracle, some a huge number of update sites from various Eclipse projects. This looks indeed like a huge mess.

From the Spring Tools perspective, we usually keep only two update sites around:

Since it looks like you installed a bunch of additional features and extensions, I obviously don't know the correct update sites for them.

I don't know whether that is feasible for you or not, but I would recommend to start with a fresh and vanilla Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse 4.16.0.RELEASE distribution build. And then install the third-party plugins again that you want to use.

To make your life easier when setting up fresh installations of the IDE that continues to contain all your favorite third-party extensions, you might want to take a look at Oomph and the Eclipse installer (https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Installer). As a lightweight alternative, I am using a script to install a number of features from specific update sites into an existing installation (https://gist.github.com/martinlippert/5155155).

Hi, thanks for replying about something that looks like is not exactly a "bug" in the software. I prefer to stick with my distro package manager to install software, and with a real clean install I'd lose UI customization and probably git repos auth. Re-install without deleting config in home would make little sense, I suppose. This is the list shown under Help→About STS4→Installed Software

Is that menu exhaustive of what is actually installed, or it doesn't show everything? Do you see any "foreign" package apart from Groovy that I know I explicitly installed? Btw, even checking for updates, what it looks like taking really much time is "Fetching p2.index from https://download.eclipse.org/whatever..."

Yes, the mechanism walks through all of the update sites in your preferences and downloads all the necessary information from all of them to see if there is anything "interesting".

To me the list looks fine and I indeed see only Groovy-Eclipse to be around beyond what you usually would get from a plain installation. In case you want to verify, you can install a plain Spring Tools 4.16.0 distribution and compare the list.

With that, I would recommend to remove all the update sites from the preferences, add those that I mentioned in my previous comment, add the latest one for Groovy-Eclipse (although I don't know whether there is a version of Groovy-Eclipse out there yet that is based on Eclipse 2022-09), and go from there.
