I had this same problem with the iSphere plug in on someone else PC. We tried the next day, and then it worked...
Sadly, I think/*ASSUME* that maybe there is problem on the sourceforge.net web-site. <JUST A GUESS!>
So, this is NOT an RDI issue, but probably a problem with the web-site for whatever reason. Do the manual load... <Hint Hint>
I was lazy, and just tried later, Next day... <grin>
To me, iSPHERE is a "MUST HAVE" FREE plugin! Strongly recommend it!
PS. RDI 9.5.0.2 ROCKS on Window 10!!! <Big Smile>

The "Install New Software" is what I was trying to do when I initially posted the question. That is not working for me (for iSphere only).

I believe that only things that come from IBM can be installed via IM. Eclipse plugins need to be installed via Eclipse Install New Software. If you want to develop Java or PHP within RDi, you can do that. Just get the necessary pieces and parts from eclipse. From within RDi navigate to Help -> Install New Software, and select an update site. I bet the iSphere URL is an eclipse update site that you can add to the Install New Software dialog using the Add button. Haven't done that yet as I am in one of those corporate environments just now, and can't get out to SourceForge.

"Corporate Environment"... I had to laugh - literally out loud. We are a small company of less than 100 people. I am the top of the chain as far as IT is concerned, and I answer directly to the owner. My "staff" consists of two other people.
The only issues I've had thus far are with RDi - and those were directly centered around the gawd-awful installation process when using ESS.
Now I won't discount the possibility that something within Windows 7 on this laptop is not quite right... We were actually very surprised that it arrived with Windows 7 installed (brand new Lenovo core i7).
BTW - I tried adding the iSphere URL to the repository in IM - got a simliar message about not being able to contact the repository.

Dude, are you sure your laptop isn't corrupted or locked down so tight that installation is hard? I have never had even close to the trouble you describe except in a corporate environment where they control who can install what. I'm not sure what your issue is, just that it isn't RDi.

So after the horrific ordeal of installing RDi (v9.5) again on my new laptop, now I can't get iSphere loaded.
I had it loaded once by downloading it manually, now it appears to be gone. I've installed Data Studio since.
When I try to add the URL to the repository (
http://isphere.sourceforge.net/eclipse/rdi8.0/)... It says "Pending..." for a while and then gives an error about not being able to access "content.xml" at the URL.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Thx,
Greg
