I appreciate the pointer. But this process FAILS no matter which option
I use to update the WOLips plugin, because the update routine includes a
search for a URL that is defunct (www.mdimension.com/~wolips/stable). So
the update process aborts. Has anyone performed a successful WOLips
update recently?
I first tried the FIRST option - 'Search for New Features to
Install'(per the tutorial), selected the 'Wolips' (not 'WOLips Stable'),
and this fails with a 'Network Failure' message which on digging further
cites the above URL (yes .../stable/) as not found.
I also tried the SECOND option - 'Search for Updates of Currently
Installed Features', and this fails for the same reason when it
encounters the WOLips feature to update.
As it stands now, Anjo Krank has been sympathetic enough to my plight to
put in a piece of code to trap for my error condition; however I am at a
loss to be able to avail myself of this new update(build=3801). Can
anyone verify being able to update/download build 3801 using Eclipse's
Update feature?
Many thanks
