IDE plug-ins unstable download

[pedro-girao]

Hello All,

I've been having some trouble with the Eclipse setup. The main issues are:

• The plugins download faills on login update and the openHAB2 gets compiling errors;
• The openHAB2_Runtime.launch and openhab.target files somehow are changed in a way that running the Runtime fails with the following problems:

org.eclipse.jetty.deploy
org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.boot
org.eclipse.jetty.osgi.httpservice
org.eclipse.jetty.webapp
org.eclipse.jetty.xml
org.eclipse.xtend.lib

Something to do with the version of the packages that need to be imported...

Does anyone is having the same issues?

TY
Pedro G.

Not sure I fully understand your problem. Are your download problems when starting the Yoxos profile or when setting the target platform? Try reloading the target platform, everything should compile in your workspace afterwards.
If you can't get it working, send some screenshots to show the exact problem.

Hi,
I'm having the same problem. When i start Yoxos all plug-ins are gone and when i try to update them almost every time it get stuck when it tries to update xtext. I get the following error message:
The target definition did not update successfully
Unable to locate installable unit org.eclipse.xtend.sdk.feature.group

So this happens on step6 of https://github.com/openhab/openhab2/blob/master/docs/sources/development/ide.md?
Does it persist if you click the "Reload..." button on the target platform window?

Yes, it is exactly in this step. I tried to reload them and nothing, after that i tried to update the plugins and it's where i get the previous error.
Frustrated i reloaded Yoxos and the plug-ins update worked fine. At this moment when i go to Run->Run Configurations and try "Validate Plug-ins" the file openHAB_Runtime changed automatically and i needed to restore it each time. After that everything seems to work fine.

Loading and setting the target platform is independent from Yoxos itself, so usually no need to reinstall everything through Yoxos.
A possible workaround is to open the file openhab.target (inside the targetplatform project) with an text editor and to increase the sequenceNumber field by one. This should trigger reloading the target platform bundles. Opening the file then with the "Target Editor" allows setting it as the target platform at the top right.
Once the target platform is fully loaded and resolved, there should be no problem with the run configurations anymore.

Right now this problem seems solved, if it comes back i will try your suggestion. Thank you.
