Eclipse plugin hijacks Automatic Update sites

[Frank Ralf]

I'm using the oXygen Eclipse plugin v. 15.2 with Eclipse Kepler. Now at Window > Preferences > Install/Update all Available Software Sites are gone and only http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Editor/Eclipse is left.

Hi,

The Oxygen Eclipse plugin does not programmatically interact with or affect the Eclipse update sites (or other Eclipse specific options) in any way. Note that you have to manually specify the Oxygen update site when you first install it.

We've tested v15.2 (installed via update site) with Eclipse Kepler SR1 (4.3.1) but did not observe this behavior. The standard Kepler update sites remained untouched.

What did you do within Eclipse prior to observing this? Can you reproduce this consistently?
Check you other Eclipse options. Are they still in place, or did all Eclipse options get reset?

Regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for the false alarm. I have some other plug-ins installed and as all update URLs were gone except for the oXygen one I suspected oXygen to be the culprit.

I will check again and report back.

Kind regards,
Frank
