Use a Sonatype nexus p2 proxy to download with eclipse installer [message #1741105]

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out how I can use eclipse installer/oomph in conjunction with my nexus p2 proxy.

Actually, the setup with my nexus P2 proxy works completely with an running instance of eclipse when I want to "Install a new software" or "check for updates".

I'm trying to replace former Google Mechanic to Eclipse Installer to be sure my whole team uses the very same eclipse setup.

As my nexus proxy is actually mirroring internet P2 update site, I want to download my eclipse product through it, but i can't find a way to tell eclipse installer to download "products" through my proxy.

I tried to use -Doomph.redirection.foo but I didn't manage to.

Can someone help me please ?
Thank you.

What specifically did you try? Are you trying to redirect the update sites that work normally be used to some alternative with the same content? And you tried -Doomph.redirection.foo={uri-normally-used}->{uri-you'd-rather-be-used}?

I tried to add -Doomph.redirection.foo=http://download.eclipse.org/oomph/updates/milestone/latest->http://intra.my-company.com/nexus/repository/ in my eclipse-inst.ini, but the installer keep on trying to download from the internet. I don't know if it's because I made a mistake inmy configuration or because the url I mentionned in the redirection is not one that is currently used by eclipse installer.

I'm trying to use the Mirror of eclipse update site I setup in nexus.
Should I specify all the download url used my eclipse installer one by one ? Could my problem come form the fact that I'm using a incorrect uri-normally-used ?
Thank you.

Here is my ini file

When trying with such a configuration,I get this log output, where you can see that my redirection is not mentionned and so not used.
Thank you.

It's a VM argument so it must come after the -vm. It also looks like you'll be installing a very old version of Oomph if it's the Mars version, so that's less than ideal.

It looks like you're behind a firewall/proxy that requires configuration and a password.

So should it be like this ?

Ed,
You're right. My internet firewall requires authentication. What I wanted to illustrate here is that the redirection I'm desesperalty trying to setup is not used and so eclipse installer tries to download throught the internet and my firewall.
What I want is to skip the internet here. If I achieve it, I won't have firewall problem too.
Thank you for helping.

It sounds like you'd need to redirect all update sites that are used. So far you've only tried to redirect the Oomph one, right? Your most recent example looked correct.

Dominique,

I had a lot of trouble using the Nexus p2 proxy. In some cases metadata and artifacts would not match. artifacts.xml contained plugin versions newer than the ones found in the plugin folder. The installation would then fail. In other cases the proxy's update site was unreachable when the proxied update site was offline, which is pretty much the opposite of what I would've expected.
