using eclipse 3.0.1, ME + 3.8.1 + 3 quick fixes on win 2000 (sp4)
Firstly clicking on Help | Software Updates | Find & Install | Search for updates of currently installed software – finds nothing?
Secondly should I be upgrading anyway? – read the post regarding GEF problems upgrading which I’m NOT using – so do I or don’t I? if so how best to it if no updates found automatically?
cheers
Harry,
Please see this announcement link at the top of the forum for information on the update site.
http://myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-4030.htmlAnd yes, you should be upgrading. The GEF issue was really only a problem with 3.8.0. Upgrading to 3.8.2 is highly recommended due to the large number of fixes and small enhancements.
I have a couple of problems with this update.
First of all, the instructions talk about adding an update site via the following menu path:
Help > Software Updates… > “Search for new updates to install” > “New Remote Site…”
However, on the Eclipse that I’m using (version 3.0.0), the Help > Software Updates menu item has a submenu of “Find and install”, which brings up the “Install/Update” dialog and that has no option for adding a new remote site.
The second problem I have is that my employer uses a proxy URL to configure proxy settings (and it needs a userid/password). This works fine in browsers but appears to be useless in Eclipse preferences, which needs a specific proxy address. Is there a way to install this update from a download, which can be done separately?
