Eclipse Community ForumsArchive/package for manual installation
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/237916/721040/#msg_721040
could you please provide packages to allow manual installation of the plugin? I have a network which is not connected to internet and two different operating systems and problems with the Eclipse proxy feature. Furthermore the daily Hudson/Jenkins builds are not an option, because I don't know which release it is -- So everything I tried to get the Egit plugin didn't work.
This of course also affects all other plugins -- so perhaps it would make sense to add a general feature request against eclipse.org? If someone can point me to a location where this could be addressed, I would appreciate this very much.
Download the zip from the link on that site, sneaker-net it to the offline host, unzip it, and add the subdirectory archive/org.eclipse.egit-updatesite/target/site as a local Eclipse archive site

Pretty soon 1.1 will be the stable release (September?), and at that point the problem gets harder. I don't where you can find a downloadable archive for the stable release.

The caveat I see: Because Hudson is for continuous integration and not for long-time storage of builds, I could imagine, that Hudson installation only have limited disk space and do not keep all builds? If this is the case: Official builds should be archived. So this might be a showstopper...]]>Andi 2011-08-31T20:43:20-00:00Re: Archive/package for manual installation

If you want to wait for the next release, 1.1 is planned to be shipped with Indigo SR1 (GA is on Sept 23rd).

One of the reasons some projects are converting to Git is specifically because it has full support for offline access, unlike SVN or even Mercurial. That means Git can be used effectively on machines that will never be on any network (for security reasons, for instance).
If these always-offline hosts want to use Eclipse, then the stable releases of egit also need to be easily accessible in a form that can be installed without net access.

What you say is true for other plugins as well (e.g. considering using Java and C/C++ through CDT on such a PC). So perhaps you can post the current process you're using to release an official build. I would be interested how much handwork this involves. If this is a lot, other projects will perhaps not do it because of lack of manpower. In this case (at least for eclipse.org related projects) I could try to contact the different stakeholders (Web team, Hudson maintainer, people from other projects) to find a way to automatize this (through a hudson plugin, e.g.) or reduce handwork.]]>Andi 2011-09-06T18:27:50-00:00
