Currently, when you attempt to add a new URL for an update site that already exists but is disabled, the input is simply rejected. This is awkward because the user must then manually navigate to existing websites find that website and then add it. And it could be a real source of confusion for users unfamiliar with the P2 interface as the implication of having a website already existing is that that website would actually be searchable. Suggest that if user enters a URL for a website that exists but is disabled, the user is prompted to enable, e.g.: "That site already exists, would you like to enable it?" Related to Bug 325647
Matt, this is assigned to you. If you intend to work on it, great! If not, then feel free to dump it back in the inbox (it already has a helpwanted tag).
I have tried to reproduce, but on Eclipse 4.6M6 if trying to add the url of a disabled repository, the repository is automatically enabled. I would say this is a better solution, as if you are trying to add an URL for an update site, it is probably because you want to use it, and you want it enabled, so there's no need to show a dialog, ask, and wait for a response. What do you think?
I'll assume this issue is resolved.
