Eclipse Plugin Installation Fails

Hi,

I am trying to install the Connect IQ Plugin in Eclipse (Neon.3 Release 4.6.3)

However, it fails with the following error.

Unable to connect to repository https://developer.garmin.com/downloads/connect-iq/eclipse/content.xml

If I try to open that URL in a browser, I get this:

The requested URL /downloads/connect-iq/eclipse/content.xml was not found on this server.

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Miki.

Galmiklos have you resolved this issue yet? Each time I try to install it I get an error stating I have the wrong version of java which isn't true. Did you have this issue also?

Hey,

I wanted to chime in here. I just did a quick check on the latest SDK and Eclipse Neon.3 as well. Everything installed correctly without any errors.

erjones, were you using another version of Java and recently upgraded? I ask because I was when I first set up the SDK and found that I had a JAVA_HOME variable pointed to the out of date version. I was seeing similar errors to what you are describing. I'd check that out first and go from there. Let us know if you are still having issues.

Thanks,

I'm using java 1.8.0_131 (i installed the java run time [jre] and development kit [jdk])
it's installed in the default location

have you installed the right bit version of java? there's a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version. install the latter if your os supports it - and uninstall the other one

I got it installed and got a simulation to work. When I tried select "start" from under the connection menu it told me I needed an Android device connected. I found that odd since I didn't see anything related to phone devices as part of the installation process.

What that's used for if you have a companion app for a phone you are also using in the test. What is it you want to do? If you are just wanting to do a makeWebrRequest, you can just do it.
