I’ve got Eclipse 3.2 and MyEclipse 5 M2. I’ve tried the Help/Software Updates/Find and Install bit several times, and I keep getting “connection timed out.”
Is this just because everyone is grabbing the new release, or could my company firewall be getting in the way?
In all honesty, it could be either at this point. Since MyEclipse 5.0GA ships new versions of almost every plugin from the 5.0M2 version using the update site will download a lot of small plugins, which is likely much tougher right now due to the number of connections that will be required than one big download.
As a result, if you’re having trouble with the update site you might just want to download the installer for 5.0GA and then install it on a fresh instance of Eclipse 3.2 (not the one you’re using with 5.0M2). That will give you both a 5.0M2 install and a 5.0GA install when you’re done. Then launch the 5.0GA install and attach it to your existing workspace. Once you’re happy with the results, you can uninstall 5.0M2 when convenient.
