I’m trying to update Eclipse 3.5.1 (on Gentoo Linux) from the Galileo Discovery Site

  • 0

I’m trying to update Eclipse 3.5.1 (on Gentoo Linux) from the Galileo Discovery Site and I get this error message:

Network connection problems encountered during search.
  Unable to access "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo".
    Error accessing site stream. [Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd]
    Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd
    Error accessing site stream. [Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd]
    Server returned HTTP response code: 503 for URL: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd

It seems the 503 error code is intended to stop software from constantly downloading this file from w3.org. But how do I persuade Eclipse to stop requesting it?

    After several updates of Eclipse, the supporting software and libraries this now works.
    The correct way to update from the Galileo site is via “Help/Install New Software” or “Help/Update”.
    The route via “Help/Software Updates/Find and Install/Search for new…” fails because the update-site format has changed.
