Eclipse sdk download fails for mac, luna, mars.

[elmsley]

After using the example build.gradle to scaffold:

Downloading file: http://mirror.netcologne.de/eclipse//eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.4.2-201502041700/eclipse-SDK-4.4.2-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  A problem occurred configuring root project 'blah'.

  Failed to notify project evaluation listener.
  http://mirror.netcologne.de/eclipse//eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.4.2-201502041700/eclipse-SDK-4.4.2-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz

This is due to the file not being available on the mirror site.

Why not use 4.5 Mars which is on that mirror site?

Might wanna take a look at Goomph and its example project. Currently on 3.0.0-SNAPSHOT, actively seeking feedback before 3.0.0 release.

I have same problem as elmsley. I tried using keeping the address of archive. That also did not work.

You can use an alternative mirror for neon (4.6.2)

  eclipseVersion('4.6.2') {

    eclipseMavenGroup = 'eclipse-neon-sr2'

    eclipseMirror = 'http://ftp.fau.de'
    eclipseArchiveMirror = 'http://ftp.fau.de'

    sources {

      source "${eclipseMirror}/eclipse/technology/epp/downloads/release/neon/R/eclipse-jee-neon-R-${suffix_os[current_os]}${suffix_arch[current_arch]}.${fileExt_os[current_os]}"
      source "${eclipseMirror}/eclipse/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.6.2-201611241400/eclipse-SDK-4.6.2-${suffix_os[current_os]}${suffix_arch[current_arch]}.${fileExt_os[current_os]}", sourcesOnly: true

      languagePackTemplate '${eclipseMirror}/eclipse//technology/babel/babel_language_packs/R0.14.1/mars/BabelLanguagePack-eclipse-${language}_4.6.0.v20161126060001.zip'
    }
  }
