    There is no content.xml file there. Maybe you are using an Old
    Eclipse version to access it?

    The update center url is

    Ludo

                   Hello everyone,
                    

                    
                    I
                      would like advise on which eclipse IDE to
                      download. I have the following eclipse installed
                      -
                    

                    
                    
                      Eclipse Java EE IDE for
                          Web Developers.
                      

                        
                      Build id: 20090920-1017
                    
                  
                
                This is very very old! 2009. At least 10 new versions
                got released since then!

                Please,use the latest version called indigo that got
                released in June 2011. It is always a good idea to get
                all the Eclipse updates (usually 4 times a year) to get
                the latest fixes.

                Same for the eclipse GlassFish plugin. The June version
                is in the OEPE release, but it you want an even newer
                update (with some bug fixes or 3.1.1), you should follow
                this tutorial that works as well for Eclipse indigo
                latest release and GlassFish 3.1:

                http://glassfishplugins.java.net/eclipse36/

                

                OEPE release contains too many plugins, including for
                WebLogic, so it is very confusing to use. I would not
                recommend it.

                Ludo

                

                
                  
                    

                      
                    I would like to install the OEPE
                        version.
                    

                      
                     http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/eclipse/downloads/oepe-111173-429353.html
                    

                    
                    What is the difference between the 'Helios' and
                      the 'Indigo'? I have glassfish installed I would
                    rather use glassfish server since I'm use to
                      it. I don't want to learn a whole new server like
                    weblogic. I have Win Vista 32 bit.
                      It mentions some plugins if I
                      have eclipse installed.
                    Which plugins? So which installation should I
                      go for?
                    

                    
                    Thanks
