  • I heard, there was project to collect 3rd party plugins in one place. – Paul Verest Apr 15 '13 at 05:15
  • p2's metadata model is more complex than Maven's model, so p2 repositories don't scale up that well. I've heard of an attempt to create a p2 repository with all content of Maven central, but that attempt failed. – oberlies Apr 15 '13 at 09:39

All third-party plugins are available through the MarketPlace, and will reference all the p2 sites.

For Eclipse itself, you would see the list of p2 update sites for all Eclipse distros at the "Eclipse_Project_Update_Sites page".

There isn't just one p2 site which would reference everything, but the Marketplace automatically creates a combined update site with your own favorite plugins, if you create an account on the Eclipse Market Place website.

  • MarketPlace is actually index of p2 repositories. The problem with p2 repositories is that they can pop-up and go down, or be unavailable in this moment. – Paul Verest Apr 15 '13 at 05:14
  • @PaulVerest but surely the p2 repos mentioned in http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Project_Update_Sites for Eclipse itself are more stable? – VonC Apr 15 '13 at 05:16

  • I confused with some Eclipse project, that was collecting used plugins into 1 repository. Yes, unfortunately, there is no Central p2 repository. – Paul Verest May 13 '13 at 10:30
