Unable to update SDK Manager in Eclipse

Hello,

It's been a while since I've coded for Garmin (over a year or so), but I'm hoping to update my code and also include the new devices under the latest SDK. But I'm not able to update the SDK Manager in Eclipse, getting the error:

Similar to this user below but I haven't seen any answer on the forums:

I tried updating using Check for Updates, but getting these errors:

I would be grateful for any advice to get me going. Thanks in advnace.

At this point, Eclipse is only minimally supported with CIQ. VS Code has pretty much replaced it.

Also, the SDK Manager is a stand alone app. While you can start it from both Eclipse and VS Code, it's not part of either.

See Get the SDK | Connect IQ | Garmin Developers for obtaining the current SDK Manager for your system.

Thank you very much. I have installed the SDK Manager separately and it's now working. I'm attempting to add support for the new devices starting from SDK 4.2.4 and then moving on to 6.2.0, but I'm already experiencing problems because not only some of the code which worked before has now been deprecated, but I'm now getting some type errors which I never used to get before ("Invalid '$.Toybox.Lang.String' passed as parameter 1 of type '$.Toybox.Lang.Number'."), and I don't know how to solve them.

Starting with the 4.1.6 SDK, type checking is on by default. Try turning type checking for an app to see if that clears up the message and you can then work on adding type checking support.

To do this, add the following line to the monkey.jungle file for your project.

project.typecheck=0

Thanks, this has worked out a treat!
