GEF update site not available [message #894398]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to install some eclipse plugins for my IBM Domino Designer (full eclipse based IDE). I'm following the directions of Niklas Heidloff "Setting up Source Control for NSFs and XPages in Domino 8.5.3" article.

I've succesfully managed to install GEF SDK 3.6.2 from the following repository:
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates-pre-3_8/releases/

However, when I try to install the two svn plugins required (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/subversive/0.7/builds/Subversive-incubation-0.7.9.I20100512-1900.zip and Subversive-connectors-2.2.2.I20100512-1900.zip ) I get the following errors:

CWPPR0031W: The requested provisioning operation(s) completed with partial success.
Network connection problems encountered during search.
Unable to access "http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/site.xml".
Unable to access site: "http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/site.xml" [Server returned HTTP response code: "404 Not Found" for URL: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/site.xml.]
Server returned HTTP response code: "404 Not Found" for URL: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/site.xml.
Unable to access site: "http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/site.xml" [Server returned HTTP response code: "404 Not Found" for URL: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/site.xml.]
Server returned HTTP response code: "404 Not Found" for URL: http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/site.xml.

And also, the real GEF update site appears, that is undeletable from the update site list.

I have emailed the webmaster, and got back the following response:
Quote:

It would appear that GEF has transitioned to the newer Eclipse p2
installer and as such has archived their older update site

So currently I don't know how to proceed. I have checked the eclipse directories, and found out that a numerous files contain the string "http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/site.xml" . So should I replace all these string with the old update site url?

Thanks for your help!

Did you ever get an answer to this? I have been spinning my wheels for a while now. I ran into the same issues. I've also tried the OpenNTF solution and may have to try something else.

For those who are having the same problem: just use the same link without the "site.xml" at the end; that is:
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/updates/releases/
