  • The update site `https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/library/eclipse-dtp-1.14.100` seems to be broken. Does disabling this update site in the preferences _Install/Update > Available Software Sites_ fix your issue? – howlger Nov 29 '22 at 23:47
  • @howlger It does not give me any options for disabling in the install/Update window – rubiya sultana Nov 30 '22 at 00:42
  • "Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development" is an entire category. Perhaps you can deselect the Oracle SQL tools that are in the error message? – nitind Nov 30 '22 at 02:27
  • @nitind There is no specific option. I have to select that option and it contains [Web, XML, Java EE and OSGi Enterprise Development]. There is no specific options that I can select or deselect. – rubiya sultana Nov 30 '22 at 02:31
  • What do you mean by _"install/Update window"_? You can disable or delete update sites in _Window > Preferences: Install/Update > Available Software Sites_ (on macOS _Preferences_ is in the application menu instead of in the _Window_ menu). – howlger Nov 30 '22 at 07:34
  • @howlger Yea your right I got it now when i deselected those sites it got installed. – rubiya sultana Dec 01 '22 at 05:50

I double checked the overall ability to install additional plugins from that category into a fresh Spring Tools 4 for Eclipse 4.16.1.RELEASE installation and it installs just fine. So this doesn't seem to be a problem with the newly installed software from that category itself, but something else that interferes in the install process.

It looks like you installed additional plugins or server definitions from some Oracle update site before, which added a specific update site to the preferences that is now causing a problem.

You can go to Preferences -> Install/Update -> Available Update Sites and remove that update site from the list of available update sites. That would help.

Another way to avoid this (probably) is to disable the option to Contact all update sites during the install to find required software in the Install New Software dialog. That should also prevent the install process from contacting that problematic update site.
