Help on mirroring eclipse update site [message #275599] Tue, 09 November 2004 15:09 Go to next message

I've been struggling to understand how to create a local update site that is
a mirror of the eclipse 3.0 site.

I can't update directly as my company has a proxy that downloads files and
virus checks them before releasing to the client. This causes the client
(ie, Eclipse update manager) to time-out on large files.

So I would like to copy the Eclipse 3.0.1 distribution onto our local server
using a browser, and then point Eclipse at the local update site.I've read
the few manual pages on updates sites, etc, and I think what I want to do is
just a plain bulk copy of the Eclipse site.

Unfortunately, I can't get any clues as to what the Eclipse 3.0 update site
looks like; I can't find any index.xml file for 3.0 on eclipse.org. I sort
of figured that the site is http://download.eclipse.org/updates/3.0, but I
can't find out its format.

Is there any information on how to copy the files.

thanks

Richard

Take a look at the -mirror command described in:
http://help.eclipse.org/help30/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/update_standalone.html

What you need is mirror the org.eclipse.sdk feature, with version 3.0.1.
The command would look something like this (line may wrap)

java -cp startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -application
org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command mirror -from
http://update.eclipse.org/updates/3.0/ -to
my/local/mirror -featureId org.eclipse.sdk -version 3.0.1
