eclipse plugin install issues - one plugin failing kills others [message #317688] Wed, 11 July 2007 22:02 Go to next message

I am having an issue with updating plugins that I find really annoying.

If I try and update multiple plugins, and one plugin update fails, all
the subsequent plugins also fail.

This is behavior is very annoying, as it sometimes takes a long time to
download and install plugins on a slow connection.

For example,

case 1: if I start an update for 5 plugins, and it has downloaded 4 of
the plugins, and gets a 404 error on the 5th, the entire plugin update
process then dies, and the first 4 do not get installed. If I re-run
the process, it has to re-download the plugins that it already retrieved.

error example:
Unable to retrieve remote reference
" http://pydev.sourceforge.net/updates/features/org.python.pyd ev.mylyn.feature_0.3.0.jar".
[Server returned HTTP response code: "404 Not Found" for URL:
http://pydev.sourceforge.net/updates/features/org.python.pyd ev.mylyn.feature_0.3.0.jar.]


case 2: if all the downloads succeed and the installation of the
plugins fails for some reason on one of the first plugins, all the
subsequent installations get skipped.


error example:

Error Thu Jul 12 20:56:59 NZST 2007 Unable to complete action for
feature "Graphical Modeling Framework (Europa Edition)" due to errors.

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: The File

Moral of this story; don't try to install too much at one time :-)

The update manager has several such known quirks, and the Eclipse 3.4 story is going to have a lot of work in the provisioning space doing a better job of these things.
