Hi guys.

I just started using WindowBuilder Pro at work yesterday, installed it fine and was enjoying it alot.

Now the weekend is here and I was planning on installing it on my personal computer too, but something is going wrong right now...

Since last evening, I get the following error message when I try to install the plugin:

Unable to connect to repository ... (note; I can appearently not post links in this forum yet, but its the adress to the 3.7 download page at google)
Connection timed out: connect

Is anyone else having this issue, or have an idea why I'm getting it? As I said I installed the plugin at work without problems, but now at home I get this weird error...

Thanks,
Andreas.

Well, turns out the problem was my firewall, ZoneAlarm. Does anyone else use this firewall and understand why it won't eclipse get through? The settings for eclipse are to allow all connections, so I can't understand why it doesn't work with the firewall running...

Anyway, disabling the firewall made all the difference so I'm downloading with the firewall turned off.

Ok so turns out disabling the firewall was only partly helpful... After shutting down both zonealarm and the windows firewall, I still get the following error when trying to install WindowBuilder Pro:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=SDKProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
Unable to read repository at ...

URL removed since I cant post it yet...

I was wondering, is there a way to download the WB Pro plugin "manually"? As opposed to using the built-in functionality of eclipse where I add the url in the "Install new software"-option?

What do you mean by "URL removed since I cant post it yet"?

If you are having problems accessing update sites, why not use the ZIP install option?

Hi again Eric. Well since I'm a new member, I couldn't post the url earlier because I had yet to write 5 posts in the forum.

As for the zip install option, I wasn't aware it was an option. I just downloaded the zip-file though, but am a little puzzled to it's contents. Do you have a link to instructions for installing WB using the zip file perhaps?

The ZIP file is just a standard update site archive file, so see the standard Eclipse instructions for installing using an update site. It discussed archive update sites in ZIP format as well.
