project progress linked to strange site in eclipse maven

Question

As I was waiting to complete the Eclipse project progress, it connected to https://www.pramati.com and updated the repo.

How is my project related to Pramati? What kind of stuff is Pramati fetching and what kind of stuff am I fetching from Pramati?

Eclipse version info:

Version: Oxygen.2 Release (4.7.2) Build id: 20171218-0600

Answer 1

pramati (defined here) is shown in bug 502955 and referenced in bug 487917 "using server wizard results in a bunch of p2 sites being added" fixed in Eclipse 3.8 (so, which Eclipse version are you using?)

!MESSAGE Invalid site reference %updateSiteURL in feature com.pramati.eclipse.feature.

even though I never installed pramati.

After initial analysis, I found that similar problem existed when we clicked on "Download Server Adapter" in Mars.
Looks like p2 is adding these sites but now as the link is not available and p2 is visited on the New server Wizard itself,

There is a pending issue on p2 to better managed those sites: issue 491754

For testing, try a fresh Eclipse installation, referencing a fresh workspace, and then open the same project: there should be no reference to pramati there.
Or, your project dependencies through p2 reference a pramati server.
