Hello ,
I am trying to download Google Plug-in for Eclipse using below
URLs , which seems not working.

Eclipse 3.3 (Europa)
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.3
Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede)
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4

Both the URLs are not working.

Can someone please provide guidelines to download this plug in ?


Thanks
Sandeep S. Lawar

Nope, I just clicked on them to see if they worked.

That are the Eclipse update sites, wich aren't available by http

Actually, the plugin also is able to download the latest version of
the GWT package. So, only the update site is needed.

That was nice info. Thanks Paul and Rvanlaak.

I have resolved this by downloading plugin from

http://code.google.com/p/cypal-studio/downloads/list

But the links pointing to actual flavor are still down. :(

Thanks

Hi Sandeep,

The URLs are working, although it may not appear so if you navigate
directly to them in a web browser. These URLs are Eclipse update
sites, which means you'll need to use Eclipse's update mechanism to
install the plugin. See the documentation for Eclipse 3.3 (http://
code.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-eclipse-3.3.html) or Eclipse 3.4
(http://code.google.com/eclipse/docs/install-eclipse-3.4.html).

From a web browser, these URLs will indeed produce a 404, even when
the update site is ok. To test them from a browser, just tack on /
site.xml to the end of the URL, and you should see a short message
indicating that you're hitting the Google plugin update site.

Thanks Keith, I retried it with your suggestions, and got the
following error...

No repository found at http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4
Error reading update site http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4.

Do you have a firewall setup?  It might be blocking the connection.

That's my problem. The company's firewall blocks Java applications
from connecting to anything outside the company's local network.
Instructions for manually downloading and installing the plugin would
be very useful.

Unfortunately, the process to manually download and install the plugin is somewhat tedious. If you're in Eclipse 3.4, download the following file and place it in a temporary directory:

http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4/site.xml

Now, download the following into a directory called features, underneath your temporary directory:

http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4/features/com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite.e34.feature_1.0.0.v200904062334.jar
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4/features/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle.e34.feature_1.2.0.v200904062334.jar
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4/features/com.google.gwt.eclipse.sdkbundle.e34.feature_1.6.4.v200904062334.jar

Finally, download the following into a directory called plugins, underneath your temporary directory:

http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.core_1.0.0.v200904062334.jar
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4/plugins/com.google.appengine.eclipse.sdkbundle_1.2.0.v200904062334.jar
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4/plugins/com.google.gdt.eclipse.core_1.0.0.v200904062334.jar
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4/plugins/com.google.gdt.eclipse.suite_1.0.0.v200904062334.jar
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4/plugins/com.google.gwt.eclipse.core_1.0.0.v200904062334.jar

If on linux:
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4/plugins/com.google.gwt.eclipse.sdkbundle.linux_1.6.4.v200904062334.jar

If on mac:
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4/plugins/com.google.gwt.eclipse.sdkbundle.macosx_1.6.4.v200904062334.jar

If on windows:
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/3.4/plugins/com.google.gwt.eclipse.sdkbundle.win32_1.6.4.v200904062334.jar

Now, go into Eclipse, and set up a local update site, and point it to the temporary directory that you created. You should be able to install the plugin from this "local" update site.

Alternatively, you can just rename the temporary directory to "eclipse", remove the site.xml file, and copy this directory under your Eclipse install's dropins directory.

In the future, we'll make this whole process easier by providing a zip of the plugin.

I figured it would, but given that the only other readily available
option is to not install the plugin, I'm content to perform an
exercise in tedium.

Thanks,

Actually, I made a mistake in the install instructions:

This is not correct. If you want to install via this mechanism, you first need to go into the features directory under the temporary directory that you created, and unjar all of the jar files in there. Then you can go ahead an install via the dropins mechanism. Note that this only needs to be done if installing via the dropins mechanism - if you're installing using the local update site technique, then you shouldn't unjar the feature jars.

This worked fine for me (drop in Mechanism). Thanks Rajeev for
detailed explaination. Appreciated.
