Why am I getting this error trying to install Subclipse from the update site?


I am trying to install Subclipse 1.6.x on Eclipse Helios (3.6) on a 64-bit Windows 7 machine. I go to Help -> Install New Software... and then enter the following update site into the dialog box: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x. I give it a name and click okay and it tries to connect to the repository for about 15 seconds and then the follow error dialog pops up:

enter image description here

To be clear, the update site that I have entered into the box is http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x and is NOT http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x/content.xml yet it seems to think that this is the repository being requested. I have successfully installed Subclipse 1.6.x on other similar Window's machines and have never come across this error before.

Any ideas why this is happening?


Solution

  • It looks like you somehow removed the '.' between '6' and 'x' You have http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6x it should be http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x
