A couple of days ago I started having issues updating my Eclipse plugins. I’d get a “No repository found containing” error for several of the repositories that it was trying to update from. Here is a quick fix:
- Go to Help->Software Updates, then select the Available Software tab and click the Manage Sites button
- Use the Export button to export the sites to a bookmarks.xml file
- Open the bookmarks.xml file in your favorite text editor, and add a trailing “/” to any of the site urls which are missing the “/” on the end. Save the changes.
- Back in the Manage Sites window within Eclipse, select all of the sites and click the Remove button
- Now, click Import and load in the edited bookmarks.xml file
Now try your import again, and it should work.
Thanks a lot for this quick fix.
Thanks a whole lot! This has been driving me crazy.
Glad I could help!
Thank you very much. But this is only part of the solution I needed. The other part was to unselect some of the sites I had selected for update.
Good to know!
Thanks a lot for this tip. I never would have guessed the solution.
I reckon you’ve saved me about 3 or 4 hours here… thanks a lot!
You’re very welcome!
Thanks, works like a charm!
Thanks for the quick fix, it saved my time so much.

Thank you for the tip… but I solved it after I REMOVED the trailing “/” mark. I am using Eclipse Galileo 3.5, and problem was mylyn update for this version of Eclipse.
Thought I’d share this if someone else had a similar problem…
Thanks for the tip! Clearly the universe has gone crazy:)

Yaar..!! you’re Good..!!
Thanks it helped….jst there is path change i m using Galilieo on ubuntu
1. Help->Install New Software In that click on the Available Software sites OR
2. Window->preferences->Install/Update->Available software sites.
follow the same process of adding the trailing slash. You can also check if its working or not by just EDITing one repo url and using TEST CONNECTION tab.
yeah, it really worked!!!
Thanks for this tip, can’t believe it’s the solution :)
