Subclipse JavaHL zip source for manual installation - windows

We are working to install updated versions of Eclipse and Subclipse on a few VMs in a data center. The firewall in place for this dc prevents us from downloading anything from the Eclipse download sites or marketplace. Instead, we download to computers outside of the data center, move the files, and install things manually.
The OS for these VMs is Windows Server, a mix of 2012, 2016, and 2019. The Eclipse IDE for Java 2021-12 can be installed without issue. It appears that we can also install the SVNKit (org.tmatesoft.svn_1.10.3.zip) and Subclipse 4.3.3 (subclipse-4.3.3.zip) successfully, provided that the SVNKit is installed first.
Subclipse does not provide an option to install JavaHL. We are struggling to locate a proper zip file that can be used to manually install the JavaHL part. The files from github return error messages in Eclipse that it cannot find a jar to install. Suggestions and advice on how this could be installed without access to the marketplace or update sites would be greatly appreciated.
Eclipse message for JavaHL zip file

Mark provided us a link within the github space he maintains to exactly what we were looking for. The javahl windows code needed was found here, nicely prepared in zip files by version - https://github.com/subclipse/updates/tree/main/javahl
We used 1.14.0, found here - https://github.com/subclipse/updates/blob/main/javahl/subclipse-javahl-1.14.0.zip
Thank you Mark!

Visual Studio unable to download installation files

I simply wish to install Visual Studio 2017 to compile a project.
Trying to install via the installer obtained from Microsoft fails after being unable to obtain the .opc file from aka.ms (found that after checking logs in %Temp%)
Moved to a full install version with all files and .opc file present. Installer still attempts to download from the web. Fails saying it is unable to download.
Tried running installed with --layout pointing toward the location of the offline files, same error.
Installed certificates from the certificates folder both in Personal and Trusted Root stores, no difference.
Tried starting CNG Key Isolation service, fails with error 1053
Microsoft support transferred me three times before saying the problem is on their end, so how, if one were to have no internet connection and evidently has all files required for install available, install this, if the installer stubbornly attempts to download from the web?
Is there a KB I am missing or some procedure I have to follow with the full installers?
In my case it is the network firewall blocking the downloading because the downloading involve not only main Microsoft visual studio site which is allowed in our network but also some url like https://aka.ms which is blocked by our firewall.the error is listed in c:\users\myusername\appdata\local\temp\dd_bootstrapper_xxx.log
It appears from what you have submitted you are attempting to download a offline copy of Visual Studio. It also appears that you are attempting to run the file originally downloaded to create the bootstrapper for the installation.
You want to instead launch the setup executable which is actually in the layout folder.
Hope this helps. ^^
Appears the cause for this was the service disclosure debug, disabling the debug, binding all services back into the svchost and after rebooting the service is working again. I have been able to install VS now.

MinGW install on offline Windows for Matlab R2018a

I've seen this post and this other one. The list goes on.
However, I need to install MinGW (preferably the latest version) in a Windows machine which is purposefully isolated from the internet. The purpose is to use soem features of Matlab 2018b that require a compiler. I can upload files to it within some restrictions, but I can neither use the default MinGW installer, nor can I use the "Get Add-On" menu command.
By the way, the machine works with windows server.
How can I get an installer or a set of files that would allow me to install MinGW?
For versions 2016b and newer, MathWorks provides a tool that allows downloading support packages and sending them to off-line environments. The tool can be downloaded here and will require admin permission to install. With it, you can select packages to download at a target folder, and later transfer them to the off-line environment.
For each package there will be a readme file with the relevant instructions.

Dev Studio 10.3 - connector discovery completed without finding any connectors jboss developer studio

I get this error when trying to look at available packages in Red Hat JBoss Central. This seems to be because of some missing files on the update site.
How did you install devstudio 10.3?
Into your own Eclipse (from update site, from Marketplace, from zip), via rpm, or via installer jar? If into Eclipse, which package (JavaEE, Java, C/C++, etc.) and which source did you use?
Are you behind a firewall/proxy? What OS are you running? Which version of JDK are you using?
Just tried to install everything from Central from devstudio-10.3.0.GA-v20170218-1636-B94-installer-standalone.jar installation on Fedora 24 and it works for me.

install4j: How to Obtain Old JRE -OR- Convert Installer to .tar.gz?

I accepted a project that consists of a Java-project that is shipped with an installer built by install4j (we have a license for 4.2.8). I'm required to ship a JRE with it. The problem is that the guy who worked on it before me left and I don't have access to his installation of install4j that would have included the JREs that are currently shipped with the final installer of our project (Java 1.6.0_29).
Within install4j I can select a JRE, but 1.6.0_29 is not listed there any more. My obvious option was to simply use the latest 1.6-version, but that was declined. Therefore, now I don't have a JRE. I can't even build a bundle with install4j since none of my colleagues has that version. Besides that, I'd need it for all our target platforms (Windows, Linux and MacOS).
I think the only options I have now is to
find a hidden gem on the internet that holds old JREs in .tar.gz-format (i.e., if you know such a site please let me know)
download the various installers from Oracle's site and somehow convert them into .tar.gz (however, I have no idea how to convert, e.g. an exe, into a .tar.gz)
I tried to figure out where install4j downloads the bundles. I played around with the URLs, but it seems as if only those listed in install4j are available.
Do I have another option? Does anyone have solutions for the two options I listed?
You can use the "createbundle" command line tool to create a JRE bundle from any installed JRE.
This is available since install4j 5.0. You can install the current version with an evaluation key and the created bundle .tar.gz file will work for 4.x as well.
Bundling a JRE for Mac OS X is not supported in install4j 4.x. This functionality was added in install4j 5.1 for OpenJDK on Mac OS X.

Can't install SWT plugin in Eclipse 3.7.1 from any of the repositories

I'm using Eclipse 3.7.1 Indigo (Java EE IDE) on Windows 7 (32bit). I wanted to install WindowBuilder for building GUI java apps and so far I tried following repositories to install WindowBuilder or SWT plugin, but none of them completes the plugin installation and it stucks and fails in between.
WindowBuilder Pro by Google
http://dl.google.com/eclipse/inst/d2wbpro/latest/3.7
WindowBuilder by Eclipse http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/release/R201109201200/3.7/
I also tried by using fresh installation of Eclipse, but that also didn't worked, and plugin installation takes forever and in the end, it shows error "Unable to Resolve". I'm sure that my network connection is free from any firewall restrictions and is fairly fast.
I have used NetBeans so far for my Java needs, but now I need to move on Eclipse, what could be the possible solution to this problem?
Manually installing plugins would be my last option and I'd really prefer to install it using Eclipse's built-in "Install New Software".
Installing via this link just worked fine for me on a fresh install of Indigo.
http://download.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/WB/release/R201109201200/3.7/
The fact that you have the same issue from two different sites suggests it's a issue with your network, if you're still have issues try installing a completely different plugin and see if you get the same problem. Are you on a corporate network? Do you have any proxies you need to configure to allow aplications to access the net?
