command line update manager [message #267688]

I want to run the update manager from the command line and search for
available features to install.
I'm able to do this thru GUI interface given the firewall specs, but
unable to do it thru the command line, and I don't get much of an error
log.

Here is my command :
C:\temp_10\eclipse>"c:\program files\java\jdk1.5.0_14\bin\java.exe" -jar
plugins
/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar -application
org.eclip
se.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command search -from
http://update.eclemma.org
Connection error
Command failed.

Thanks for any help.
Rose

Hi Rose,
you could enable more logging by adding -consoleLog argument to command
line. With the result you get it's indeed hard to guess what's happening.
By the way, which Eclipse version do you use?

Hello. Thank you for taking interest in this topic.
I'm using Eclipse Version 3.4.1. Btw, how does the -consolelog work... I
get nothing back.

Thanks,
Rose

*bump* i see the exact same error.

i am on:

Version: 3.4.1
Build id: M20080911-1700

listing the http.proxy options from the osgi console gave me the correct
settings when starting with -console option. In the GUI i can correctly
access any updatesites via the proxy.

To me it looks like the update manager doesn't load the proxy settings?

can i set those for
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819.jar?

trying to access it via an proxy.

nevermind i found the solution by adding "-Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy
-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080"

ie

"java -Dhttp.proxyHost=proxy -Dhttp.proxyPort=8080 -jar
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.101.R34x_v20080819. jar
-application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command search
-from http://updatesite"
