Unable to install pydev

I am trying to install pydev through update site and eclipse marketplace but that's impossible. When trying to install I receive the following message: Unable to read repository at https://dl.bintray.com/fabioz/pydev/latest/content.xml.

Looks like this file does not exist anymore on the repository. Did somebody found a solution about that ?

Regards

The Error Message I am note sure why you are getting an error message about content.xml, the real file that Eclipse should be reading is content.jar which is there.

Try one of the solutions below and please post more details if you can.

Online Install The URL for installation of the feature is http://pydev.org/updates. You can use that URL to Install New Software... from the Help menu if the Eclipse Marketplace is not doing what you want.

Offline Install If you meet the requirements (below) and continue to have problems with the update site, you can download to install offline. Get it from SourceForge (or follow the link from PyDev's website to SourceForge)

LiClipse Alternatively, simply get LiClipse instead. It is Eclipse and PyDev and a bunch of other useful stuff already packaged together. It is provided by the author of PyDev, so should give you the best experience.

Minimum Eclipse and JVM Requirement Double-check you meet the minimum requirements: PyDev requires Java 1.7 or greater and Eclipse 3.8/4.3 or greater:

I've run into the same issue. I found out that the link at the PyDev site http://www.pydev.org/updates is redirecting to https://dl.bintray.com/fabioz/pydev/6.4.1. Using this link doesn't work for me, in Eclipse 4.7.3a. However, changing this link to http://dl.bintray.com/fabioz/pydev/6.4.1 solves my problems. Apparently, there is an issue with the SSL redirection at the distribution site, or the https downloads in Eclipse.

To be a little more clear about an offline installation in eclipse neon:

  • Download the latest zip from sourceforge
  • Unzip it in any temp location
  • In Eclipse: "Help->install new software"
  • "Add" a new location to "Work with"
  • "Local" button allows you to select the unzipped folder
  • Give the location a name
  • Back on the "install new software" dialog, select pydev, etc. and "finish"
  • (Delete the zip and unzipped folder)
