Problem using Eclipse’s Update Manager to install WST
So, I go to install the SpringIDE plugin, using the Callisto installation directions. I get part of the way through it, and receive an error, informing me that an internal error regarding the update manager's zip deflater has occurred, and it can't go on. After a bit of googling… I find this entry on Colin's blog, and follow Olivier's advice. So, I do a 'mv /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_11-64/bin/unpack22 /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_11-64/bin/unpack22.findme' (Java HotSpt 64-Bit Server VM build 1.5.0_11-b03, mixed mode running on SLED 10 by the way), try the eclipse update manager process again, and voila, it works.
Anyone who understands what's going on here and why what I did works, please tell me. I don't get it, but it went and ahead and installed what I needed, so I just moved on.
On a lighter note… I spend a good portion of my day listening to music courtesy of Pandora, which, as a side note, uses OpenLaszlo for its UI as I understand it. So, today I was listening to my Kid Rock station… a fairly interesting station in terms of how they pick which music ought to play. Interesting because it has such of wide range of music because of his style, from rappish to rockish, it has played everything from Sir Mix a Lot, to Naughty by Nature, to Beastie Boys, to Jet, to Limp Bizkit, to Saliva, to Metallica. Anyway, I'm going about my business, getting work done… and all of sudden I feel like throwing up a little in my mouth because the song is so bad. I alt+tab over to Pandora, and sure enough, I find none other than the song Lifeline… by David Hasselhoff… from the Baywatch album.
Ooph… can somebody tell me how in the world that happened? This is a case where Pandora users need more than just the 'Thumbs Down' button. We need a "Are you kidding me that you actually played this? Something slipped past QA button."
Hasselhoff… who hired that ass clown to sing. He can’t even act. Sad, sad world….
Now Sir Mix a Lot… he’s got some pipes;-)
Hi
Looks like this issue with update manager and WST is going to be a hit in the months to come. I had to solve the same issue as you. Many thanks for this hint. Actually in my case (OpenSuse 10.0) I had to move away pack200 and unpack200 in both jdk and jre bin/ directories.
Olivier
I assume this is the same Olivier who posted on Colin’s blog? Did you ever figure out why this occurs? I installed the Spring IDE plugin using Callisto on Ubuntu just fine, no such hack required.
=======================
An update on the Kid Rock station. I must’ve overloaded with too many songs I liked (telling it I like the hard Kid Rock stuff and the soft stuff he did with Sheryl Crow probably makes it difficult for them to figure out what I like). I say this, because in addition to the Hasselhoff treat from the other day, I recently had the pleasure of hearing ‘If You See Him / If You See Her’ by none other than Reba McEntire. Whew…
