Eclipse Marketplace error - Unexpected exception:

Question

When I try to surf the Marketplace in Eclipse it gives me this :

Unexpected exception: org/eclipse/equinox/internal/p2/repository/RepositoryTransport
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

what might be the problem? any solutions?

Answer 1

I have installed version 3.7.2 of eclipse indigo and run into the exact same issue (after a clean eclipse/marketplace install). I resolved the problem by updating the marketplace plugin to a more recent version (in eclipse go to "Help -> Check for Updates" and the update should be listed there).

Answer 2

If you have google chrome. Then go to chrome Settings --> Change proxy Settings --> LAN Settings, then check Automatically detect settings then OK. Then hopefully things will start working

Answer 3

Simply check you browser settings in the eclipse windows -> web browser. Eclipse reads the settings of the browser selected in this menu.

Answer 4

I did nothing. Just restarted eclipse and tried after sometime. It worked!! May be marketplace.eclipse.org was down for a while.

Answer 5

I fixed it by:
* goto preferences => network connection
* Select the HTTP entry and press Clear.
* Enter the settings for the proxy again
* Select the HTTPS entry and press Clear.
* Enter the settings for the proxy again
* Press Apply Button

Answer 6

If you are connected with Wi-Fi or LAN then just go to Eclipse preference -> General -> Network Connection -> Active Provider : In the drop down select "Direct" and apply. This solves the issues.
