Downloading Eclipse plug-in update sites for offline installation

by

Eclipse offers a way of mirroring these sites automatically, either through the command line or through ant tasks.

Mirror based on p2 information

$eclipse_home/eclipse -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication -source $1 -destination $2
$eclipse_home/eclipse -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.mirrorApplication -source $1 -destination $2

Reference: Equinox p2 repository mirroring

Mirror based on site.xml information

java -jar $eclipse_home/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command mirror -from $from -to $to

Reference: Running the update manager from the command line

You can follow the evolution of these scripts in my script repository.
