standaloneUpdate -search "connection error" [message #657791]

I am running a fresh v3.6.2 and toying with the update manager.

The documented command for "searching a remote site, listing
all available features for install"

java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_<version>.jar
-application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate
-command search -from remote_site_url

fails for remote_site_url = http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/
with "Connection error / Command failed". The equivalent comand

eclipsec.exe -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate
-command search -from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/

fails with the same error. Verified to happen on a couple different
machines. Both can "see" the remote site fine, and the packages are
listed correctly in eclipse's "install new" dialog, so it doesn't look
like a 'net problem, or dns etc.

The exact same commands work as expected with a local mirror
when replacing the remote_site_url = file:c/eclipse/repo/helios.

I have tried all variations of quotes or no quotes around the url, and
trailing slash or not - still no luck. Any ideas much appreciated about
how to fix it, or at least what to look for.

If you want the correct 3.6 commands, you would use the director. See
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_director.html

ex:

java -jar
eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507 .jar
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6 -list

or

java -jar
eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507 .jar
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6 -list org.eclipse.sdk.ide

bash-4.1$ java -jar
eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507 .jar
-application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command search
-from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6
Connection error
Command failed.

I have the same problem.

How did you create the local mirror? With the mirror app (or p2.mirror
ant task)?

I'd open a bug at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Equinox& amp;component=p2

Thanks for the pointer. There are many ways to skin each cat in eclipse,
and it's not always obvious which is the most direct or preferred one.

Thanks for verifying. Filed a bug report at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=338980

Tried both, following
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Repository_Mirroring
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/guide/p2_repositorytasks.htm
and just noticed a(nother?) way using the update manager
http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.do c.isv/reference/misc/update_standalone.html

I am still unsure how to reliably check that a local mirror is
consistent and complete. For example, I've run the mirror app
three times on http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/ with
"-vmargs -Declipse.p2.mirrors=false" and ended up with three
local repos varying in size from 17 MB to 2.8 GB. There were
no errors reported in any of the runs, yet the end results were
quite obviously different.
