sdk is not pulling down gradle - gradle

I'm looking to develop an application using gradle, groovy, maven other other products supported by sdkman. I'm using cygwin on a windows 10 machine. All seems good and updates most software packages that are needed. When I get to the point of installing gradle, sdk simply can't download ANY version of gradle. Is this a bug or am I missing something. Here's what I'm getting from my cygwin console.

$ sdk install gradle
Downloading: gradle 2.14.1
In progress...

It seems as though sdk thinks it knows where it is however when it goes to pull it down, it doesn't pull down. Then sdk goes to unpack it and it can't find it. Any advice would be appreciated. Btw, I'm not going through a proxy and everything else seems to install just fine. It is just gradle that has the issue. Also, why is it trying to pull down an old version of gradle (2.14.1)?

I've downloaded the v2.14.1-all version, renamed the file to be gradle-2.14.1.zip.zip and placed it in the /home/Admin/.sdkman/archives/ directory and then did the install for gradle again. This time it found it and installed it as though it had downloaded the correct version. It's a solution for now.

v2.14.1 is the newest version of gradle. See here and here (3 is currently in beta-ish)
The filename .zip.zip seems erroneous. Possibly a defect in sdkman. Unsure if it was you who reported this on github, but: https://github.com/sdkman/sdkman-cli/issues/445

How can I install older version (0.13.x) sbt on my MAC?

I need sbt version 0.13.x for a course in Scala and I am having difficulties installing it. I tried with the brew install sbt#0.13 command, but when I then check with sbt about it gives a message No such file or directory. 
However, if I again try and do brew install sbt#0.13, it gives Warning: sbt#0.13 0.13.16 is already installed, although sbt about does not find anything.
In addition to that, I tried installing the latest version of sbt with brew install sbt and then manually changing the version each of my projects is using by entering sbt.version=0.13.12 in a given build.properties file. This seemed to work initially, when I check with the terminal the version of sbt inside the project. However, I am still not able to import already existing projects.
Finally, I downloaded the version from http://www.scala-sbt.org/download.html but then I need to do some corrections to my PATH from what I've read online and I am not sure what that means.
So, I would be grateful if someone could help me with the installation of an older version.
The way sbt works is that it will look in project/build.properties for the sbt version to use to build your project. So the way you described - installing the latest sbt and set the version you want to use for the build in project/build.properties - should work just fine.
Regarding
not able to import already existing projects
these existing projects also should have project/build.properties indicating the sbt version.
Note that even with installing 0.13.12 locally, when building your project sbt will still use the version specified in project/build.properties, it will just download it as necessary.
If you absolutely want to run a specific version from the command line, as you already discovered, you can download it. Regarding updating your PATH - PATH is an environment variable that tells your command line where to look for executable files. It's a list of directories, so if you unpacked the downloaded file in say "$HOME/tools", you have so say something like export PATH=$HOME/tools/sbt/bin:$PATH. See https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/appleosx-bash-unix-change-set-path-environment-variable/ for a more detailed description.

Apache Flex SDK Mavenizer: build the converter

I'm trying to comple the Apache Flex SDK mavenizer tool, I need this tool to convert the Apache Flex Sdks in package suitable for the Maven repository .
I downloaded the git repository from
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-utilities.git
I followed the instruction in the README.txt that are similar to the Building the Mavenizer tutorial: I clone the repository, I entered in the mavenizer directory and I lunched mvn package.
The maven script ran without errors but I couldn't find any jar in the man target directory.
Each module were correctly built but not the main jar.
So I coulnd't execute the converter
java -jar [path-to-the-maveinzer-jar]/mavenizer.jar "[sdkhome]" "[fdktarget]"
Could someone help me? Has anyone run into the same problem?
I'm happy to share here the answer they gave me in the apache flex users forum.
Actually there was a problem!
Ups sorry for that ... I didn't update that page for quite some time.
The problem is that you checked out the old version. The new version
is in the develop branch. As soon as the mavenizer is officially
released, master will contain the updated version.
I did write down a little more detailed howto under:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/FLEX/Quick+Start+Guide:+Building+Apache+Flex+applications+using+Maven
(I just re-checked and fixed one problem)
I Hope that it could be useful !

Eclipse crashed, files got corrupted, now I can't install or uninstall EGit plugin

I am trying to configure Eclipse for Windows to meet my workplace's requirements, and in doing so the program ran out of memory and crashed. I am trying again with a fresh install (deleted all files I could find related to Eclipse and recopied).
I have a Git perspective available, but it is completely blank. Git is not listed in my current plugins, and not present in my plugins folder that I can find. If I try to install it, however, I am told it already exists.
Eclipse Version: 3.6.2
EGit Version: 1.1.0.201109151100-r
You can usually fix a lot of problems like this by doing a
$ eclipse -clean
You may have to add this to your eclipse.ini file.
If this doesn't work, start from a clean install (the eclipse directory & the workspace).

Unable to build mercurial on OSX - Python.h not found

For what I've read I need Python-Dev, how do I install it on OSX?
I think the problem I have, is, my Xcode was not properly installed, and I don't have the paths where I should.
This previous question:
Where is gcc on OSX? I have installed Xcode already
Was about I couldn't find gcc, now I can't find Python.h
Should I just link my /Developer directory to somewhere else in /usr/ ???
This is my output:
$ sudo easy_install mercurial
Password:

...
Thanks in advance.
I was struggling with this problem all day today.
I eventually discovered a site that claimed that all one needed to do was to reinstall Xcode, or install the latest version (4.3.2, as of this writing).
So I tried that. It did not help; not on its own. But then I went a step further: I fired up Xcode.app, and once I had done that, I opened the Xcode..Preferences menu item, and then go to the Downloads tab, and say that you want to install the "Command Line Tools"
Once I did that, and then re-ran easy_install (in my case I was trying to "easy_install dulwich" to satisfy a hg-git dependency), it was able to properly find Python.h for me.
Might depend on what version of Mac OSX you have, I have it in these spots:
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/include/python2.5/Python.h
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/include/python2.5/Python.h
Also I believe the version of python that comes with Xcode is a custom build that plays well with xcode but you have to jump through some hoops if you use another dev environment.
Are you sure you want to build Mercurial from source? There are binary packages available, including the nice MacHg which comes with a bundled Mercurial.

Can't get plugins to install on my Hudson CI server

I'm trying to stand up a Hudson CI server.
I'm following an article written here.
I've gotten the server to stand up successfully by itself, but when I go to install the plugins all the plugins fail to install.
This happens the second time I run
java -DHUDSON_HOME=data -jar hudson.war
when I have all my plugins in the /plugins folder.
The errors I'm getting are
No 'Plugin-Class' entry in the manifest of ...msbuild.hpi
No 'Plugin-Class' entry in the manifest of ...nunit.hpi
Dependency analysis-core doens't exist (related to task.hpi)
I grabbed the latest stable release of them, so I'm thinking it has something to do with how I set up my hudson instance. The only different thing that I have done from the article is that I set up the installation in C:\Hudson.
Does anyone know why these plugins are all failing?
The problem was that for some reason I downloaded version 1.1 of hudson. I'm not sure how that happened since I clicked on the latest link, but I went back and downloaded the real latest version and the plugins are installing fine now.
The tasks plugin still doesn't install, but I don't really have to have that one, I was just curious what it was.
