Eclipse IDE缓慢下载-市场/更新

Question

I am trying to download tools for Java dynamic web development and spring boot release 4 on Eclipse Photon. I do not see option for dyamic web project with original Photon download. The download speed is extremely slow and it appears stuck at 49%. Is this normal and is there a way to improve the speed? Other posts have not helped that I read. Thank you.

The issue you are experiencing may be tied to the active provider in Eclipse's Network Connections settings:

• Direct - "Choosing the Direct provider causes all the connections to be opened without the use of a proxy server."
• Manual - "Selecting Manual causes settings defined in Eclipse to be used."
• Native - "On some platforms there is also a Native provider available, selecting this one causes settings that were discovered in the OS to be used."

Note: After changing and applying the setting, restart Eclipse.

I have personally used Direct for a home connection (Eclipse 2018-12 / 4.10.0) and Native for an enterprise system with proxies (Eclipse Neon.2 / 4.6.2) to resolve sluggish Marketplace behavior.

For the uninitiated, these settings are found:

1. In the Eclipse MenuBar (top), select Window -> Preferences
2. In the Preferences dialog's TreeView (left), select General -> Network Connections
