Unable to install Hibernate plugin for eclipse

Question

I am using Eclipse Indigo. When I try to contact http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/indigo/ Installing updates result in an endless ...pending...

What is going wrong here? I thought it would be the firewall. Turned it off, no succes. Tried reading all the articles about this problem, could not find my solution there as well.

Hopefully someone can pinpoint me to the right direction.

Answer 1

Though less convenient, as the update site notes:

You can also download JBoss Tools as individual zips for offline installation. See JBoss Tools Downloads.

You might also try using Wireshark or some other traffic analyzer to see where in the process things are hanging. If it's just one bad repo, you might be able to route around it. There might be a way to get Eclipse to give you more logging to get the same information, but I don't know how offhand.

Answer 2

It may be that you are behind a firewall. Make sure that you temporarily disable all firewall software and anti-virus software before running the update.

If you are behind a corporate firewall, you must configure your proxies correctly in Preferences -> General -> Network Connections.

Another possibility is that there is something wrong with your installation. Just to be certain, I'd recommend that you delete your old installation and start with a new one.

Answer 3

If update site is not working for you (may be firewall or network issue), you can download the zip package from below URL. And go to Help->Install new software, click Add then Archive and select the zip files, note it also works for jar files.
