I wanted to install an update in Eclipse with Help > Install new Software or Help > Check for updates. I pointed to the update site, selected what I wanted to install, but then during installation I received an error dialog like this:
😦
It reported this details text:
An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session context was:(profile=DefaultProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=). No repository found containing: org.eclipse.update.feature,com.freescale.processorexpert.pex-for-kinetis-patch1.sp,1.0.0.b150505 No repository found containing: binary,com.freescale.processorexpert.pex-for-kinetis-patch1.sp_root,1.0.0.b150505
It happened to me especially with Kinetis Design Studio v3.0.0, trying to update with the latest patches and features from the Freescale web site. It turned out that some sites somehow had that problem, but not every Eclipse update site. But what helped was to disable the option ‘Contact all update sites during install to find required software‘:
So this option is not only to disable for better installation performance (see “Reduce Eclipse ‘Install New Software’ Installation Time“), but as well to fix some strange installation problems too :-).
It looks like this is a known problem in Eclipse, see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6470802/what-to-do-about-eclipses-no-repository-found-containing-error-messages.
Happy Installing 🙂
