Benjamin Bentmann closed MECLIPSE-607.
--------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Bug
Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann
Please don't confuse the [Maven Eclipse
Plugin|http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-eclipse-plugin/] with the [Maven
Integration for Eclipse|http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/]. This issue needs to be
filled at https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MNGECLIPSE.
> Provide a site archive for offline install
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MECLIPSE-607
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MECLIPSE-607
> Project: Maven 2.x Eclipse Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: M2Eclipse support
> Environment: all platforms
> Reporter: Hamma Myamma
> Assignee: Benjamin Bentmann
>
> The lack of a site archive for offline m2Eclipse installs should be
> considered a bug. The main workaround suggested in JIRA MNGECLIPSE-858 does
> not work.
> The rationale for a site archive of the m2Eclipse plugin is that internet
> access is not available in every situation. Corporate restrictions are one
> common issue, but a greater issue is the need to perform software development
> in classified environments. These environments do not have internet access,
> and all development software introduced into the environment must be scanned
> and approved.
> The workaround suggested in the above JIRA is to use the "well-documented
> command line interface for Eclipse update manager". Fortunately someone
> added a link in the JIRA to the documentation for this capability.
> Unfortunately, this capability depends on the proper configuration and
> operation of the m2Eclipse update site, which is not 100% reliable.
> For example, I have run the following command on two separate occasions today:
> java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.200.v20090520.jar
> -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command mirror -from
> http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/ -to /tmp/m2mirror/
> This command works initially, grabbing the first 60MB of the update site,
> then fails with 404 errors (the issue I'm seeing at the moment is "404 Not
> Found" for URL:
> http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/update/plugins/org.eclipse.zest.core_1.0.0.v20080115.jar).
> I believe the more professional approach to this problem is for the Maven
> team to add a "site archive" package to the m2Eclipse build process (as do
> most other prominent Eclipse plugins). This would capture build errors
> within the maven team, allowing random developers to avoid an hour of
> googling and command-line trial-and-error, only to discover that the Maven
> update site is broken in regards to this requirement.
> Building things is Maven's specialty, right? Providing this capability
> should take one of you guys about two hours, I'm guessing ...
