List of available software sites lost after Eclipse update

Tags:

After clicking the Check Update, installing a few updates and clicking OK to restart Eclipse, the list of available software sites in the Install window is gone.

Is it possible to get it as it was?

If not, how can I rebuild it so that my plug-ins will be updated in the future?

I'm working with Eclipse 4.3.2 in Windows 7.

I ran into the same problem on a Win7-64bit after a set of automatic updates. All settings for "Available Software Sites" were lost. My eclipse version after the data lost was luna 4.4.2. (don't now the version number before, I had installed eclipse-cpp-luna-SR1a-win32-x86_64_2014.zip).

I set this site to get the "/Help/Install new software...." Dialog work again:

Eclipse-Project-Repository - http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.4

To get the repository for another eclipse version look here. Follow the link to your eclipse version and search there for the "Eclipse p2 Repository".
