Eclipse Community ForumsCant install wb toolkits
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/220559/696539/#msg_696539
I use Eclipse for Java development, and recently updated to Indigo/3.7.
I was pleasently surprised to find out that it now includes "a" Window Builder (I did not know the project before). However, I cannot seem to install any of the windowing toolkits required to actually use the WB (and I don't see why none of them is included with the release, if wb is included itself -- since it is useless without the toolkits).
I use Eclipse 3.7 (Java SE package) on a Win7 Home Premium 32bit, and on a Win7 Pro 64bit (however, I use 32bit Eclipse on both machines). I cleaned the eclipse folder when I updated, and I also tested installing the Toolkits on clean workspaces.
When I try to let Eclipse install any of the 4 selectable windowing toolkits (either from the WB menu, from marketplace or from "Install new software"), it takes a long time and then fails with an installation error, which mainly consist of

I have also tried this from different network connections, so a connection problem on my end seems rather unlikely. Google was also quite silent on the matter.
Does anyone else have this problem? Does someone know more about what those errors mean? Does this problem warrant a bug report?
Best regards and thanks in advance,

The normal Eclipse + WindowBuilder distribution ships with the Swing UI toolkit but not any of the others (in the interest of space). You can manually install additional WindowBuilder toolkits using the http //download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/integration/3.7 update site. This will hopefully get around any issues with that mirror (if that's the actually problem). Cheers,

As you can see, it selected a different mirror, to which was probably redirected by the eclipse download site.
What I also noticed is that at the beginning of the download, it tries to get an XML file with a rather obscure link (unfortunately you cannot copy/paste it from the download dialog and it's not included in the errors). It was formed something like "http_//download.eclipse.org/download/download.php?/windowbuilder/WB/release/R201106211200/3.7/plugins/org.eclipse.wb.core.ui_1.0.0.r37x201107060853&[langcode, format, etc]" (I'm not certain the windowbuilder/... path is correct like that, but it was similar. What i did notice was that in the additional parameters that followed, no ampersands separated the parameters (that should be there for HTTP requests); but I don't know if the dialog just doesnt display them, or if they weren't there in the actual request sent to the server.
I assume that it gets a mirror from download.eclipse.org in that XML file (if it does get it, which I can't tell -- at least there is no FileNotFoundException).
So, the next thing I would like to try is, set a mirror site manually -- but how do i find out the exact path to the WB download site that's located on a mirror?]]>hai.kataker2011-07-14T16:15:59-00:00Re: Cant install wb toolkits
