I am getting the below error while trying to install cloud foundry plugin to STS.

Below are the steps I followed
Selected

The Dashboard opens.


Click the Extensions tab.

STS loads a list of extensions.


Scroll down to the Server and Clouds category and select Cloud Foundry Integration

Clicked on Install button and I am ending up witht the below error


Problems occurred while performing installation: Communication with repository at http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/cloudfoundry failed.

Please suggest me a solution.

Hey!

This looks like a network/connectivity problem. Are you behind a firewall/proxy? If so, can you configure your Eclipse network settings to use that proxy?

If that doesn't help, you could try to delete the update site cache (in case that is stale or corrupted) by deleting the content of the "cache" directory under "p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository".

Hi Martin,

Below is my STS configuration.

Version: 2.9.2.RELEASE
Build Id: 201205071000

I am not using any proxy at all.I tried to install the "Google Plugin for Eclipse" and was successfull.


I tried deleting the content of the "cache" directory under "p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository,but still I am facing the same problem.

Along with the same error I mentioned above I am getting the below errors.

Some sites could not be found. See the error log for more detail.

Hey!

Are you running JDK 1.7? If so, can you try a JDK 1.6?

And sometimes adding this to the sts.ini file helps as well:
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

I am using jdk1.6.0_32 and I have also tried with -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

Still the error persists.

Hey!

What happens when you try to use this URLs in the "Install New Software" dialog?
http://download.springsource.com/rel...2.RELEASE/e3.7

Hi,

Tried to use the URL in the "Install New Software" .I am able to fetch the new software.

Please find the attached screenshot. New Picture.jpg

Is dist.springsource.com is under maintenance ? Some sites could not be found. See the error log for more detail.

Hey!

The "dist.springsource.com" is not under maintenance, it is alive and kicking all the time. I am not sure why you are seeing the read timed out issue, but you are not the only one. This is really strange, since it must be somehow network related, but we haven't figured out what exactly is causing the issue. Sometimes it is an issue with the corporate network/proxy/firewall configuration, but not always... Strange...

If you have trouble with one of the URLs again, try the "download.springsource.com" version of it.

HTH,
Martin
