I'm trying to install EPIC using the Pulse Explorer for Eclipse (as I'm rather fond of sharing profiles :). When I go to install the plugin under my account, I get asked for a login into http://e-p-i-c.sf.net.

However, the Epic's team documentation doesn't mention anything about a login.

Here's what I've done:

  1. Gone into Pulse and created a new profile based on Eclipse Classic.
  2. Navigated to Software, added the EPIC software site to list of public sites, and chosen to install it.
  3. Added Pulse item to profile.
  4. Run the installer.

The error shows up while it's all downloading/installing. Login boxes start to appear for epic related components, and I don't have credentials to put in so all I can do is hit cancel. If I hit cancel, the process fails at the end with the generic error message: "an unexpected error occurred preparing to install and/or launch the selected profile".

Bundles that are failing to download are:

  • org.epic.debug
  • org.epic.doc
  • org.epic.lib
  • org.epic.perleditor
  • org.epic.regxp
  • org.epic.source

The component that's exploding is called:

org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.repository.Credentials$LoginCancelledException

I've had the same effect on Pulse 0.5.x and 0.6.x.

No clue where to go from here. Might contact the EPIC and Pulse teams and ask them, but thought that I'd get a better response from here. I'm somewhat sure I'm doing something wrong.
