I just downloaded and installed Indigo SR1 (3.7.1). It comes with a number of pre-defined software sites. There is a site for Buckminster, but the URL points to the 3.6 update site, which won't work with 3.7.
The invalid site is initially not enabled, but probably should be removed to avoid "accidents". I've not logged a bugzilla since I'm not sure which component it should be filed under, but if someone knows where that bad entry comes from, maybe it should be fixed up (for 3.8 anyhow).

Hi Matthew,
Thanks for pointing this out. I wonder who provides that site. Buckminster doesn't participate in the Indigo release
train. I'll investigate.

I see no trace of a Buckminster update site in Indigo. Not in the original release and not in SR1. I also checked our
own update sites (updates-3.7 and headless-3.7) and their references sites are correct. Could it be that some other
repository that you also have in your IDE contains this reference?

Hi Thomas,
I figured out where this was coming from. Prepare to weep.
I downloaded "Eclipse for RCP and RAP developers" from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ and selected the Linux 32-bit (eclipse-rcp-indigo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz) build.
I then untar'd and ran the unmodified Eclipse, pointing it to a new workspace:
unpacked=/scratch/eclipse371/
mkdir ${unpacked}
tar -zxf eclipse-rcp-indigo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz -C ${unpacked}
/scratch/eclipse371/eclipse/eclipse &
"Window --> Preferences --> Install/Update --> Available Software Sites" shows just two sites (Indigo, and Indigo updates), which is correct.
I then defined by proxy settings, and ran Help --> Check for updates, which of course found no updates.
Going again to "Window --> Preferences --> Install/Update --> Available Software Sites", I now see a large number of sites added. The added sites are for various things that aren't in the Eclipse install, but they all look valid, and are all initially disabled. I'm not sure why they get added at this point, and what process adds them, but anyhow ...
Now I go "Help --> Eclipse Marketplace", and search for "Subclipse". I start the Subclipse install (I cancel at the point when I need to accept the licence).
Going again to "Window --> Preferences --> Install/Update --> Available Software Sites", I now see an entry for Buckminster, pointing to the 3.6 update site.
That is obviously completely wrong. Not only the wrong version, but it's not clear why a release version of a feature would need Buckminster anyhow.
I'll try and find out how to raise a fault with the Subclipse team.
Matthew
