Eclipse build repositories
Eclipse Project builds are stored in p2 repositories that are produced as part of the Eclipse project build process. This page provides an overview of the different repositories maintained by the Eclipse project, and their corresponding location and retention policy.
NOTE: Nightly builds are produced every night from whatever has been released into the HEAD stream of the CVS repository. They are completely untested and will almost always have major problems. Because nightly builds are produced in a different way from integration builds, the nightly build repository should only be used in conjunction with nightly builds.
See the online help article Adding a new software site for instructions on how to add a new update site to your Eclipse installation.
| Repository | Repository URL | Retention Policy |
|---|---|---|
| 4.2 milestones | http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.2milestones | Retained until the 4.2 release is available |
| 3.8 milestones | http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.8milestones | Retained until the 3.8 release is available |
| Integration builds toward 4.2 | http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.2-I-builds | Cleaned at least every milestone, or at the request of the development team |
| Integration builds toward 3.8 | http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.8-I-builds | Cleaned at least every milestone, or at the request of the development team |
| Nightly builds toward 4.2 | http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.2-N-builds Don't mix with non-N repositories! |
Cleaned twice a week. Because nightly builds are produced in a different way from integration builds, the nightly build repository should only be used in conjunction with nightly builds. |
| Nightly builds toward 3.8 | Stopped creating in April, 2012, once 4.2 became primary build. | |
| Maintenance builds toward 3.7.x | http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7.x | Cleaned at least every milestone, or at the request of the development team |
| 3.7.x releases | http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.7 | Indefinitely |
| 3.6.x releases | http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6 | Indefinitely |
| 3.5.x releases | http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.5 | Indefinitely |
| 3.4.x releases | http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.4 | Indefinitely |
| e4 0.12 integration builds | http://download.eclipse.org/e4/updates/0.12-I-builds | Retained until the e4 0.12 release is available |
| Orion 0.2 integration builds | http://download.eclipse.org/e4/updates/orion/0.2-I-builds | Retained until the Orion 0.2 release is available |
| Orion 0.2 nightly builds | http://download.eclipse.org/e4/updates/orion/0.2-N-builds | Retained until the Orion 0.2 release is available |
Simultaneous Release repositories
Although not maintained by the Eclipse project, here are some repositories related to Eclipse Foundation simultaneous releases for reference:
| Repository | Repository URL | Retention Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Maintenance stream builds | http://download.eclipse.org/releases/maintenance | Temporary staging area to test preliminary candidates for maintenance release. |
| Juno builds | http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/ | Content replaced every milestone, but will eventually hold the final Juno release indefinitely |
| Indigo releases | http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo/ | Retained indefinitely |
