Problem updating Eclipse Ganymede

Question

Hi,

I am predominately a .NET developer so forgive me if I am missing something obvious. I use Eclipse Ganymede (3.4.0) for Blackberry development.

I have Blackberry JDE Plugin 4.3.0.8 installed and would like to install 4.5.0. I try using Help -> Software Updates to get it but get the following error:

"Cannot launch the Update UI. This installation has not been configured properly for Software Updates".

Any ideas on how to fix this? Failing that any ideas how to install 4.5.0 without using the Update facility in eclipse? I have installed the 4.5.0 component back but it has not put it into eclipse, just installed files in c:\Program Files\Research In Motion.

I'd rather not do a fresh installation of eclipse!

Answer 1

The first idea that comes to mind is that Eclipse doesn't know where to look for updates.

Go to Help->Install New Software (not update)

Click on Available Software Sites

There you can Add, Enable/Disable software sites(repositories)

Answer 2

Download them manually here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/developers/javaappdev/javaeclipseplug.jsp

Answer 3

Just like Jamie said, download Component pack from Blackberry site, and install them with Help->Software Updates->Available Software->Add Site->Archive

UPDATE And talking about the error, see
Getting the message “Cannot start the update ui…” when trying to run the update UI in Eclipse

Answer 4

Thanks for the links guys but I ended up downloading a fresh copy from the website, the archive that I had must have been corrupt somehow because I tried using it again and had the same issue.
