I just installed and opened Eclipse for the first time on my new laptop and the plugin installer has no available update sites. How can I fix this, or what are the default update sites?
An Eclipse update site is a repository for features and plug-ins and it follows a standard format.
A p2 repository is also called update site. p2 can refer to a repository via an URI which can point to a local file system or to a web server. If you build an Eclipse application, you also create an update site. This can for example be done with Maven Tycho.
An update site is web space used by the Updater which enables users to share their macros, scripts and plugins with other researchers. With update sites, you do not need to manually download and install anything; ImageJ2 takes care of it for you.
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.
