GWT plugin update site problems

[Sleeveen]

I've been trying to install a new eclipse setup on a new machine and
have been having problems with the GWT plugin update site: it doesn't
appear to be available.

I've been using the GWT plugin for a couple of years and have never
seen this problem.

If you try to access:

http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.5
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.6

Or the archive locations:

http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.5/zips/gpe-e35-latest-updatesite.zip
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.6/zips/gpe-e36-latest-updatesite.zip

They are toast.

Earlier versions appear to be okay.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Cheers!

The update sites were off line yesterday for an hour or so. Those were restored fairly quickly, but you need to restart Eclipse to see that take effect (Eclipse caches update site status including failures for an entire session).

The ZIP files are on line now as well.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

The update site and zip for eclipse 3.4 seem to be offline. Are they still supported?

[Eric Clayberg (Google)]

No. Now that Eclipse 3.7 is out, we no longer support 3.4. 

Our general policy is to support the current release plus the two most recent prior releases.

This is a fine policy but puts my company in a bind. We need to patch an internal-use-only enterprise software product (not a web site) using the old software.  Upgrading is not an option because we are dependent on some abandoned open source software. We must install everything using the exact software we used to originally build it.  We have all the original installers (etc) except for the old GWT plugin.

Could I suggest that Google might instead move these obsolete plugins to an "unsupported archive of old versions" link instead of deleting them forever?

Is 3.5 now gone?.  We are doing bug fixes on older releases and it appears that no one thought to save a copy of the archive locally.  Any chance you could leave the old ones up "for historical purposes"?
