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.
This is the Eclipse Project Platform artifacts page. The Simultaneous Release repositories which contain the release of multiple Eclipse projects can be found here.
Go to Help > Install New Software. In the “Work with” field, enter this URL: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo. Click Add. When the plugins are discovered, open the Mobile and Device Development Tools hierarchy and check Mobile Tools for Java Examples and Mobile Tools for Java SDK.
Check for Updates Eclipse provides the facility to check for any updates for the existing features and install those updates. To check for updates go to Help => Check For Updates.
Open the Available Software Sites preference page. Enable the Latest Eclipse release https://download.eclipse.org/releases/latest repository by ticking the checkbox. Apply and Close. Check for updates.
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".
