[3.3M6] I have a hard time downloading and installing all of Europa using the update manager. The error messages are not helpful at all ("Problem Occurred: Update operation has failed"), I have to go to the error log to find out which feature or plugin could not be downloaded. This is what I see in the error log, could this information be displayed in the general error message dialog? org.eclipse.update.internal.core.FatalIOException: Server returned HTTP response code: "404 Not Found" for URL: http://fullmoon.ottawa.ibm.com/releases/europa/plugins/org.eclipse.gmf.sdk_1.0.0.v20070403-1500.jar. at org.eclipse.update.internal.core.UpdateManagerUtils.checkConnectionResult(UpdateManagerUtils.java:561) at org.eclipse.update.core.ContentReference.getInputSize(ContentReference.java:196) at org.eclipse.update.core.FeatureContentProvider.asLocalReference(FeatureContentProvider.java:228) at org.eclipse.update.internal.core.FeaturePackagedContentProvider.retrieveLocalJar(FeaturePackagedContentProvider.java:232) at org.eclipse.update.internal.core.FeaturePackagedContentProvider.getPluginEntryArchiveReferences(FeaturePackagedContentProvider.java:179) at org.eclipse.update.internal.operations.UpdateUtils.downloadFeatureContent(UpdateUtils.java:628) at org.eclipse.update.internal.ui.wizards.InstallWizard2.download(InstallWizard2.java:426) at org.eclipse.update.internal.ui.wizards.InstallWizard2.access$3(InstallWizard2.java:397) at org.eclipse.update.internal.ui.wizards.InstallWizard2$3.run(InstallWizard2.java:350) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:58)
I hit the same problem.
Created attachment 66036 [details] show exception message in details Assuming messages in all exceptions are as detailed as the one Boris mentions ("404"), simply displaying this message in error dialog Details gives much more help to user.
Created attachment 66037 [details] patch result
Dejan, this patch is one of the safest I've seen, and it really helps end users. Why did you remove the target milestone?
Sorry, the fatigue is sneaking up on me. I checked the 'patch result' link and saw the screenshot so I assumed there was no patch (the name of the actual patch is 'show exception message in details', which does not help when quickly scanning the page :-).
DJ, I am making you work today :-).
I know. And even though I told Kim I wouldn't make her do any re-builds I'm wondering if it counts that I am +1'ing other people's contributions. :-)
Techically you are not - there is a 3pm rebuild anyway :-).
Fixed.
