无法为 Eclipse Release 2(4.4.2) 安装 PyDev

Question

I just downloaded and installed eclipse, I now want to install PyDev and it's failing, I get an error message:

HTTP Server Unknown HTTP Response Code (302): http://www.pydev.org/updates/content.xml General connection error with response code=302

is there another to install it? I'm trying to install it from the market place via eclipse

Answer 1

When attempting to download Pydev from Eclipse marketplace; Eclipse marketplace is currently using the following link: http://www.pydev.org/updates/

This is not a direct link and will result in an installation failure in some cases, such as mine and others.

What to do:

In Eclipse go to Help > Install New Software > Add >

Now add a name example: "Pydev. Select the link below and choose the version of pydev you want to install. http://dl.bintray.com/fabioz/pydev/

Copy the entire link to the version you have chosen ex. http://dl.bintray.com/fabioz/pydev/7.5.0/ and paste it in the Eclipse Add Repository "Location:" field.

Please note: The above link does not use a secure connection "https". Using a secure transfer connection may result in failure, such as in my case.

For older versions of Eclipse, you need to access older versions of the update site.

The update site urls may be seen at: http://www.pydev.org/update_sites

And you may visit http://www.pydev.org/download.html to know which version of PyDev you need (search for Need to use older Eclipse/Java/Python in that page).
