STS 3.1.0 no Collaboration extensions, like subclipse, available for installation

[lili5058]

On a fresh install of spring-tool-suite-3.1.0.RELEASE-e3.8-win32-x86_64, I do not have any collaboration tools available, such as subversion stuff.

I did have previous version of STS installed, but deleted it.

How can I get STS to show me the extensions again?

Here's what I see:

I just discovered the error log !! (now I'm making progress --

I see several entries like the following when I click on the Extensions tab in the dashboard:

Unknown category 'org.eclipse.mylyn.discovery.directory.categories. SourceCodeManagement' referenced by connector 'org.eclipse.team.svn' declared in org.springsource.ide.eclipse.discovery-3.1.0.jar_4962566965887185166.jar

And before those errors, this is in the log:

Cannot load bundle org.eclipse.mylyn.discovery-3.6.jar&r=1_1563835255118381814.jar from url http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/dow...y-3.6.jar&r=1: error in opening zip file

Does anyone know how to fix that?

Also:
Related to the question above (which I haven't found an answer for), how can I switch from subclipse to subversive as the svn extension?

Hey!

I tried the URL that is mentioned in the error report, but that seems to work for me. So it could be a temporary problem or a cached version on your local drive got corrupted, I guess. I will ask the Mylyn team for help here, they might know where that cache data is being stored.

Martin,
Thanks for responding ...

I just tried out the Extensions this morning and everything is working as expected.
Did the Mylyn team look into it and find some issue?

Here's what I see now:

Hey!

Glad to hear that it is working again. Looks like it was a temporary network issue... :-)
Nothing that the Mylyn team needed to fix... :-)

Cheers,
