Speed up STS / Eclipse updates by using a mirror for download.eclipse.org

download.eclipse.org is down currently.

With these instructions you will be able to use one of these mirrors instead:

• http://eclipse.mirror.kangaroot.net/releases/indigo/ - [Belgium] Kangaroot Linux Solutions (http)


• http://eclipse.ialto.com/releases/indigo/ - [France] Ialto (http)


• http://eclipse.stu.edu.tw/releases/indigo/ - [Taiwan] Computer Center, Shu-Te University (http)


• http://eclipse.c3sl.ufpr.br/releases/indigo/ - [Brazil] C3SL - Federal University of Parana (http)

These instructions are for Ubuntu Linux:



execute:

sudo apt-get install apache2
sudo a2enmod proxy proxy_http

Add file /etc/apache2/sites-available/eclipse-proxy

sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/eclipse-proxy

Text for file

<VirtualHost *:80>

ProxyPassReverse / http://eclipse.mirror.kangaroot.net/
</VirtualHost>

execute:

sudo a2ensite eclipse-proxy
sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart

Add this line to /etc/hosts :
