  37. MY PROGRESS (SO FAR):
  38.   1. Contents of my custom "mirror-palm-webos-sdk.bat":
  39.  
  40. $eclipse_home/eclipsec -nosplash -verbose -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication -source https://cdn.downloads.palm.com/sdkdownloads/eclipse/update-site/ -destination palm-webos-sdk-artifact
  41. $eclipse_home/eclipsec -nosplash -verbose -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.mirrorApplication -source https://cdn.downloads.palm.com/sdkdownloads/eclipse/update-site/ -destination palm-webos-sdk-metadata
  42. java -jar $eclipse_home/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command mirror -from https://cdn.downloads.palm.              com/sdkdownloads/eclipse/update-site/ -to palm-webos-sdk-artifact
  43. mkdir palm-webos-sdk
  44. mv palm-webos-sdk-artifact/* palm-webos-sdk/
  45. mv palm-webos-sdk-metadata/* palm-webos-sdk/
  46. rmdir palm-webos-sdk-artifact
  47. rmdir palm-webos-sdk-metadata
  48.  
  49.   2. Resulting directory structure:
  50. palm-webos-sdk/
  51. palm-webos-sdk/features/
  52. palm-webos-sdk/features/com.palm.pdt.feature_2.0.0.201106022334.jar
  53. palm-webos-sdk/plugins/
  54. palm-webos-sdk/plugins/com.palm.pdt.core_2.0.0.201106022334.jar
  55. palm-webos-sdk/plugins/com.palm.pdt.debug.core_2.0.0.201106022334.jar
  56. palm-webos-sdk/plugins/com.palm.pdt.debug.ui_2.0.0.201106022334.jar
  57. palm-webos-sdk/plugins/com.palm.pdt.ui_2.0.0.201106022334.jar
  58. palm-webos-sdk/plugins/com.palm.pdt_2.0.0.201106022334.jar
  59. palm-webos-sdk/artifacts.jar
  60. palm-webos-sdk/content.jar
  61. palm-webos-sdk/site.xml
  62.  
  63.   3. Copied resulting "palm-webos-sdk" directory structure to the "$eclipse_home/dropins" directory.
  64.  
  65.      Result: Eclipse failed to load the plugin, and logged the first error block listed above to the Error Log View.
  66.  
  67.   4. Restructured the "$eclipse_home/dropins/palm-webos-sdk" directory structure to look like the following:
  68. palm-webos-sdk/eclipse/
  69. palm-webos-sdk/eclipse/features/
  70. palm-webos-sdk/eclipse/features/com.palm.pdt.feature_2.0.0.201106022334.jar
  71. palm-webos-sdk/eclipse/plugins/
  72. palm-webos-sdk/eclipse/plugins/com.palm.pdt.core_2.0.0.201106022334.jar
  73. palm-webos-sdk/eclipse/plugins/com.palm.pdt.debug.core_2.0.0.201106022334.jar
  74. palm-webos-sdk/eclipse/plugins/com.palm.pdt.debug.ui_2.0.0.201106022334.jar
  75. palm-webos-sdk/eclipse/plugins/com.palm.pdt.ui_2.0.0.201106022334.jar
  76. palm-webos-sdk/eclipse/plugins/com.palm.pdt_2.0.0.201106022334.jar
  77. palm-webos-sdk/eclipse/artifacts.jar
  78. palm-webos-sdk/eclipse/content.jar
  79. palm-webos-sdk/eclipse/site.xml
  80.  
  81.      Result: Eclipse failed to load the plugin, and logged the second error block listed above to the Error Log View.
  82.  
  83.   5. Restored the "palm-webos-sdk" directory structure to its original form (no intermediate "eclipse" directory), and moved it outside of the "$eclipse_home" directory; created an "$eclipse_home/links" directory, and created a file in "$eclipse_home/links/" called "palm-webos-sdk.link", containing the following text:
  84.  
  85. path=C:/path/to/palm-webos-sdk
  86.  
  87.      Result: Eclipse failed to load the plugin, and logged the first error block listed above to the Error Log View.
  88.  
  89.   6. Recreated the "eclipse" directory below "palm-webos-sdk" and moved everything into it.
  90.  
  91.      Result: Eclipse failed to load the plugin, and logged the second error block listed above to the Error Log View.
  92.  
  93.  
  94. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong?
