I’m trying to install the WTP (web platform tools) to my Eclipse installation so I can get the XSL transformations working. The base Eclipse they installed for me here was the plain Java IDE (the splash screen says “Ganymede” if that means anything). Looking at this site, the URL to get the download should be here: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/ …But when I give that URL to the Eclipse update manager, I get an error telling me: “No repository found at http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/“

Anyone else had this problem? Anyone know what might be up? Anyone know how to get the xsl-transform plugin installed?

EDIT:

I should have mentioned before that I want to find a way to do this without installing any new instances of Eclipse. This process will eventually be sent to several other developers who already have Eclipse (same version that I’m testing with) and I’d rather just do an in-place upgrade rather than have everyone go and install a new product.

UPDATE:

I found another plugin, Xcarecrows 4 XML which can also do XSL transforms. The interface is ugly and seems more than a little quirky, but it’s also a small download, and at least it runs and transforms. Unless I can find an easy way to get WTP working, I’ll probably just stick with this.

    Ok, I can probably get it working if I do a clean install of Eclipse. I can do that on my machine, but not the other team members’ machines (at least not without going through many emails and paper work) so I’m going to say that XCarecrows 4 XML is the solution. It is able to do XSL transformations in Eclipse 3.4 and doesn’t require anything else to be installed. Since XSLT is all I need, the plugin will do.
