Update Site

[vaibhavjavadekar]

Unable to use update site.....It says

Could not find http://github.com/eyala/pig-eclipse-update-site/raw/master

Did you put this address in Eclipse or in a browser? In Eclipse, in Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Software Sites it should work. In a browser it will return a 404, but that doesn't prevent a successful install.

Keep in mind it should be http and not https -> https doesn't work on Eclipse on Windows, though I don't know why.

If it still doesn't work, please add as many details as you can so I can try to understand the problem.

I used it in Eclipse to Install new Software.... below is the screen shot of the same..

Which version of Eclipse is it? Is it on Windows? Any firewalls or something special on your network?

Another thing - can you try this link (a browser will be fine)?

http://github.com/eyala/pig-eclipse-update-site/raw/master/artifacts.jar

See if you can access that file. As far as I know, the actual update site link isn't used by Eclipse; it uses it as a prefix. Let's see if you can access the files within it, artifacts.jar being one of them.

I am using Eclipse Kepler on Windows 8. Nothing so special on my network. I am able to access other update sites.

Also I am able to access this link via Chrome Browser.

I've never tried installing the plugin on Windows 8, but I've done it with Kepler on Windows 7 and Ubuntu. Until I figure out what the problem is, one thing you can do is git clone or download the contents of http://github.com/eyala/pig-eclipse-update-site to your computer, and choose that folder as a local installation site.

Hi !
I was able to GIT clone it and install the plugin.

Is there a way I can auto Indent the Pigscript using this editor. ?

Great! I'm glad you have it working. Unfortunately, no - it doesn't have an auto indent feature.

By the way, I had a friend with Windows 8 try installing it on Eclipse Kepler, and it worked, so there's something unique to your system (or his) that prevents it from working. I don't have too many ideas what it could be - maybe some security setting on connections to update sites in Eclipse. Is it the only update site you have with a http connection? I know most update sites use https, but on Windows 7 https wasn't working, and that's why I switched it to http.
