Hi,

this is probably a very stupid mistake of mine but I just can't find
the solution. I've created my first eclipse update site but I get an
error each time when I try to access it. The message says:

Unable to access "http://www.ib-paus.com/downloads/eclipse".

And the details section says twice:

Error parsing site stream. [The XML stream is not a valid default "site.xml" file. The root tag is not site.]

So here is the site.xml file. What would you say is the root tag of this file?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<site>

<description url="www.ib-paus.com/downloads/eclipse">
Experimental IBP Eclipse update site.
</description>
<feature url="features/de.ibpaus.eclipse.eyecandyfeature_1.0.0.jar" id="de.ibpaus.eclipse.eyecandyfeature" version="1.0.0">
<category name="Editors"/>
</feature>
<category-def name="Editors" label="Editors">
<description>
Some eclipse editors for various kinds of files.
</description>
</category-def>
</site>

Any help is welcome

Michael

Hi Michael,

check your proxy settings in Install/Update preferences.
It seems that the server sends you some html file back
(error message, could not connect, ...).

Maybe eclipse will provide a better error message in the future.

I have found the solution to the problem which appears to be a bug
in Eclipse. As I said I cannot access the update site via

http://www.ib-paus.com/downloads/eclipse

but it works without problem via

http://www.ibpaus.de/downloads/eclipse

The second form is the direct link to my web-site and the first
one is a redirection. So it is www.ib-paus.com --> www.ibpaus.de
and somehow Eclipse seems to have a problem with that. If I try
to access http://www.ib-paus.com/downloads/eclipse/site.xml directly
through a web browser there is no problem either way so my only
explanation is that there is a bug in Eclipse.
