I am getting an error trying to reach http://eclipse.sonarlint.org/ from a particular instance running eclipse 4.8.0.
Hi,
The message look strange to me. Can you double check the URL you have configured as update site? It should not contain content.xml
.
Ideally, you should use:
https://eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org/
I cut and pasted your link and get same error. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling eclipse. Same error. From a different machine and even from a different instance/version of product on same machine, works fine. Very puzzling.
Very puzzling indeed. As a workaround you can download the update site archive and install offline:
https://binaries.sonarsource.com/SonarLint-for-Eclipse/releases/org.sonarlint.eclipse.site-7.0.0.37874.zip
Thanks! I’ll try that.
