Hi Alfonso,

 

Thank you for trying this out. The interim update site is currently not working, hence the error. I’ll try to fix it by the end of today.

 

Thanks,

Sina

Hello Sina,

 

This is an amazing improvement that someone like me (currently still using Photon) will enjoy when moving to a more recent version.

 

If I currently download the installer and select the "Epsilon" product in the "Advanced Mode", and I do not select any projects to provision, the following error appears:

 

ERROR: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository code=1000 No repository found at https://download.eclipse.org/epsilon/interim.

This was also commented by Ed in the bug discussion, so I guess the installer does not have the latest changes included yet?

 

If it helps, I'm using Ubuntu 18.04 and I was trying to install the interim version.

 

Thanks,

Alfonso

Hi everyone,

 

With the closure of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=561541 I can announce that we are officially part of the Eclipse Oomph installer! That is, whenever someone downloads Eclipse using [1], they will have the option to install an Epsilon distribution with only a few clicks, rather than the old way of downloading a 500+ MB ZIP file. Furthermore, the setup is configurable so they can choose whether they want stable or interim version, and their IDE will stay up to date, and uses P2 to save space.

As for us developers, switching to “Advanced Mode” and proceeding to the second page of the installer (titled “Eclipse Projects”), Epsilon is also there as well so if you’re setting up your development environment on a new computer, it should be a lot easier now due to this automation.

Let me know if you encounter any issues or have any suggestions!

 

Thanks,

Sina
