HI Andrew,
Thanks for you reply.
The plugins I am trying to get are all J2EE related. Like helping me in
designing hibernate-EJB3 application.
In the meantime I have switched to the Eclipse application from
eclipse.org, because I couldn't get any plugins at all using the Extras
repository.
However, getting the plugins is still a problem: when I do so, the
program gets very far in fetching the plugins, but then it hangs on
obtaining one of them after which my internet connection is gone
(disconnected). I have an always-on ADSL-connection. Also, I can see
that the DSL-connection is still on, just the internet connection is
gone. I have to reconnect and if I repeat the experience a few times,
even reconnecting does not work.
Alas, it might not be the fault of the Extras repository. I am not even
sure it is Eclipse. It might just be my modem: I have no idea where to
start looking.
Anyway, I would welcome plugins through the Extras repository, a lot.
