Can't install "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" - password-protected ZIP file [message #526565]

I'm trying to follow the Google App Engine Tutorial.

I got to the stage where it tells me to install Eclipse.

It recommends, "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" - so I downloaded that, giving: eclipse-jee-galileo-SR2-win32.zip

When I try to unzip this, it says "File 'jvmargs' is password protected. Please enter the password..."

If I skip that file, the rest of the unzip operation completes successfully.

Can I just ignore this?

OK - answered my own question:

This is a known bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=131664

Apparently, there should be a FAQ about it somewhere...

Why they couldn't just put a note right on the download page??

There is one. Take a look at the "Known Issues" link on the download page.

Ah yes - I see it now.

Embarrassed

But, as it's a specific Windoze issue, I think it could be clearer if it was on the specific download page(s) - rather that the overall "all downloads" page.

I just had this problem installing Eclipse just now. Says it needs a password to install "pom.xml." But if I install to c:\ it works fine. Took a long time Googling to find this bug report. Looks like this bug has been acknowledged since 2006. Is it going to be fixed ever?
