[platform-update-dev] Using standalone updater to mirror Callisto -        missing plugins





Hi All,
 
I do not seem to be able to create a faithful mirror of callisto using the standalone updater: I am missing some plugins. I ran the following:
 
java org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
   -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate
   -command mirror
   -from
http://download.eclipse.org/callisto/releases
   -to C:\tmp\eclipseide\mirrors\callisto
   -mirrorURL
http://localhost/eclipseide/mirrors/callisto
   -ignoreMissingPlugins true

 
This threw no errors and seemed to result in a viable Callisto mirror. I put this on a test server, added the site to the update manager's list, visited the site and attempted to install the C/C++ Dev tools from it. I got the following error:

I checked the Callisto site and the plugin jar is there:
 
http://download.eclipse.org/callisto/releases/plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.core_3.1.0.200606261600.jar
 
Can someone please tell me what I have to do in order to get the standalone updater to create a faithful Callisto mirror?
 
Many thanks,
 
Miles

Does this help?
