No Repository Found Error
Submitted by Steven Edmunds on Tue, 2018-11-13 14:58
I just get the message "No repository found at .../download.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/sts4/update/e4.9/." when I try to install with Eclipse Marketplace.
Re: No Repository Found Error
Submitted by Martin Lippert on Thu, 2018-11-15 03:46
This is usually caused by a network glitch and stale cached data afterwards. Please go to the "Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Update Sites" and remove to corresponding update site from that list (not disable it but remove it completely). Then restart and retry. That should solve the issue.
Another option would be to go to https://spring.io/tools and download a ready-to-use distribution of Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse, it is based on the latest Eclipse 2018-09 release and comes with the Spring Tools 4 pre-installed.
Spring Perspective not showing up (Spring Tool Suite 4 on Mac)
Submitted by Martin Schoepf on Wed, 2018-10-03 12:22
I just installed a fresh download of Spring Tool Suite 4 for Eclipse from spring.io on my mac (highSierra) but cannot open the Spring perspective (a small red square appears in front of Spring selection element).
No change after manually deinstalling/installing Spring Tools 4 (aka Spring Tool Suite 4) and running -clean.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Re: Spring Perspective not showing up (Spring Tool Suite 4...
Submitted by Martin Lippert on Thu, 2018-10-04 09:05
Spring Tools 4 don't contain any Spring perspective anymore, the major elements got added to the regular Java perspective, since that is what most people use for daily Spring Boot app development. So if you open an existing workspace that had the Spring perspective open from STS3 with STS4, you should close that perspective and continue with the Java one instead.
Downloading org.springframework.tooling.cloudfoundry.manifest.ls
Submitted by Phil Cogbill on Thu, 2018-08-30 11:10
Using Photon on Windows 10, downloading org.springframework.tooling.cloudfoundry.manifest.ls is failing because it is not available via HTTP and only HTTPS. I have changed the location in Prefences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites to use HTTPS, but it gets switched back to HTTP and duplicates the listing. I have tried reloading and it does not work either. Any ideas? Can I manually download the manifest and put it someplace?

Submitted by Martin Lippert on Tue, 2018-09-11 04:29
Downloading an individual bundle is possible, but it doesn't really help much, since you can't easily install that into your Eclipse. What happens if you go to "Install New Software" and put the HTTPS version of the URL in there? Does that work?
I am not aware of any mechanism that replaces the HTTPS automatically with the HTTP one and I am sure that the P2 repository that contains this bundle is available via the HTTP as well as tne HTTPS version of the URL. So maybe some network specific settings/proxies in your environment?
You could also try and download the whole STS 3.9.5 update site for Eclipse 4.8 from here: https://spring.io/tools/sts/all - and add that as a local update site to your installation (just an additional option to try).

Re: Not able to install STS on eclipse oxygen for mac

The repository location hasn't changed, I guess there is an issue with stale data in the cache somewhere. You can go to the preferences, select the update location, and press "Reload", that usually helps. If not, remove the update site from the preferences, restart Eclipse, and add it back again (Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Update Sites).

Re: error while installing STS
Submitted by Martin Lippert on Tue, 2018-03-06 03:06
This looks like a typical network or repository caching issue. I would recommend to go to the Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Updtae Sites, select the one that is used ("dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/update/e4.6" and/or "dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/update/3.9.2.RELEASE/e4.6/") and press "reload". That refreshes the internal repository caches. Then try again the install. You could also delete all those STS-related update sites from that preference and try again the marketplace entry. That should solve the issue.

Not sure how exactly you are trying to install the Spring Roo support (and why) and from which update site, but using the STS product update site from here (http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/update/e4.7/) should work. Otherwise I would recommend to download a ready-to-use STS distribution from that site and use the Dashboard to install the Spring IDE Roo extension from there.

MIght be a corrupted download or stale cache data in the p2 pool. I would suggest to delete the file, open Eclipse again, check the preferences if the STS update site already landed there and if so, select it and press "reload", just to make sure caches are invalidated. Then try again. Another option would be to use the update site directly or download a ready-to-use Eclipse distribution with the STS tools pre-installed via https://spring.io/tools.

Re: Gradle 2.0 not found in Oxygen.2 4.7.2
Submitted by Martin Lippert on Wed, 2018-01-17 04:42
In case you select Gradle as the build environment when importing or creating new Spring projects, you need to have some kind of Gradle support installed in your Eclipse environment. We strongly recommend to use Buildship 2 for this. The error message indicates that you probably don't have that support installed.
You can get Buildship from the Eclipse Marketplace (right from within Eclipse using the Help menu). Once you have that installed and select Gradle in the import wizard, the error should not appear anymore.

The mentioned artifacts are available, so it looks like there is some stale cache data somewhere. I would recommend to go to the Preferences -> install/Update -> Available Update Sites, select the one for STS (or multiple ones if you have more than one), and press "Reload". That should cause the cached data to be refreshed.
If this doesn't help, you could try to remove the update site from that list (in the preferences), restart Eclipse, and add it back to that list.
Hope this helps!!!

In that case I would remove all STS-related update sites from the preferences and restart STS. Then go to the "Install New Software" dialog and put http://download.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/update/e4.5 into the update site URL field (if you are running Eclipse 4.5). Then select the components you want to install and continue. Make sure you have the main Eclipse Neon update in your preferences and active, so that missing components will be fetched from threre.

STS with Eclipse J2EE neon 3 do not work
Submitted by Francesco Cadili on Thu, 2017-04-06 02:59
I've installed in an eclipse J2ee platform 4.6.3 (neon 3) the STS 3.8.4.201703310634-RELEASE first downloading it from update site (...release/TOOLS/update/e4.6/) and then from the marketplace but Spring plugins aren't loaded properly .
I've looked for any of the custom spring elements inside eclipse environment, for instance spring perspective, or spring nature, spring preferences, but I found none of them.
Have I downgrade my eclipse j2ee installation to 4.6.2 or 4.6.1?
My previous spring installation is based on eclipse j2ee mars 2 and works fine even if it is a bit old.

Submitted by Martin Lippert on Fri, 2017-04-07 05:58
Do you see any error? Maybe in the error log? I need a bit more details about the problem, since the general install should just work fine. An alternative approach would be to download the ready-to-use STS distribution from https://spring.io/tools, which is a Neon.3 Eclipse with STS components pre-installed.
If you want to dive deeper into debugging what went wrong with the install, you could open a console view, switch to the OSGi Host Console, and type "ss" for "short status" to see which bundles are installed and what state they are in. If some of them are in the state "INSTALLED", something is wrong and we could dive deeper from there.

download.springsource.com is the CDN version of dist.springsource.com (so the various IPs make absolute sense), but both should work and should serve the same content. The network route to both will be different, but the served content is the same. I still think that stale cache data causes dist.springsource.com to not work for you case.

At least I installed STS on eclipse J2EE neon 3. The working sequence was:
1. install STS from market place on a clean up version of eclipse J2EE. (The installation form the updated site didn't work since I got a fatal exception at eclipse restart.)
2. Then install the other plugins.

Re: Cannot install STS in eclipse
Submitted by Martin Lippert on Mon, 2017-02-06 13:16
I am wondering which marketplace entry you chose. I tried to install STS 3.8.3 into Neon via the Marketplace a minute ago and it worked so far. Can you verify that you chose STS 3.8.3 from the Marketplace? I am also wondering why there is a bundle called "org.eclipse.net4j.jms.api" being installed. This is not used directly by the STS components, but maybe it is chosen by the underlying mechanism as a provider for jms packages? Maybe... Anyway, you could also try to install STS by using the update site directly in the "Install New Software" dialog (in case the marketplace entry continue to not work for you). Make sure you choose http://download.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/update/e4.6. It would also be useful to check the configured update sites in the preferences (Install/Update -> Available Update Sites) and make sure that there is not another, maybe wrong update site configured (in addition to the correct one, mentioned above).

Can you try to remove the STS update site from the preferences (Available Update Sites), restart Eclipse, add it back, and try again? It looks like a temporary network issue, but that might have left stale cache data in the installation. The removal of the update site + restart should clean that up.
