JD-Eclipse failed to install on my Eclipse 3.7

Question

I tried to install JD-Eclipse, I love the JD standalone tools but I need to debug something on Eclipse and I was hoping this would help me decompile some classes for which I don't have the source code.
The p2 installation failed with this error:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session context was:(profile=e24e8d3741426860a79f62d4553b8181, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=). Artifact not found: osgi.bundle,jd.ide.eclipse,0.1.3. http://java.decompiler.free.fr/jd-eclipse/update/plugins/jd.ide.eclipse_0.1.3.jar Artifact not found: osgi.bundle,jd.ide.eclipse.macosx.x86_64,0.1.3. http://java.decompiler.free.fr/jd-eclipse/update/plugins/jd.ide.eclipse.macosx.x86_64_0.1.3.jar

You can install the exact same eclipse as mine using this yoxos profile: https://yoxos.eclipsesource.com/userdata/profile/e24e8d3741426860a79f62d4553b8181

Any idea what's the cause of my problem?

Answer 1

Maybe this update site is not available now. You can download from mirror site. http://jd.benow.ca/jd-eclipse/downloads/jdeclipse_update_site.zip

Answer 2

In case is of use to someone - I had this issue on Win XP - tried both the update site and then installing from downloaded Archive - the original poster's problem was present in both cases. Exploding the zip and then using the 'Local' option to point to the exploded archive's directory allowed the plugin to install successfully.
