Eclipse plugin installation hangs

[hohwille]

Expected behavior

As a IDEasy user, I want to automate my IDE installation with Eclipse including all required plugins so that I can develop with ease.

Actual behavior

Eclipse plugin installation stalls and the process does not seem to end.
The last thing I see in the logs when running ide -t eclipse is this:

Running command 'D:\projects\_ide\software\default\eclipse\eclipse\2024-09\eclipsec.exe' with arguments '-data' 'D:\projects\demo9\workspaces\main' '-keyring' 'C:\Users\hohwille\.eclipse\.keyring' '-configuration' 'D:\projects\demo9\plugins\eclipse\configuration' '-consoleLog' '-nosplash' '-application' 'org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director' '-repository' 'https://www.genuitec.com/updates/devstyle/ci/' '-installIU' 'com.genuitec.eclipse.theming.core.feature.feature.group' ...

BTW: standard windows taskmanager does not show any process named eclipsec.exe but I can find it in ProcessExplorer.
I killed the process and then IDEasy continued with the next plugin.
For the other plugins it did not hang but all plugin installations failed.

Steps to reproduce (bug) / Use Case of feature request (enhancement)

1. ide eclipse

#652 - I assume I broke Eclipse commandlet.

Affected version:

From my trace logs:

HTTP Server 'Gateway Timeout': https://www.genuitec.com/updates/devstyle/ci/content.xml

So I think that we need to disable devstyle plugin as well. It also stopped working with Eclipse 2024-09 and prevents startup of Eclipse if the plugin installed. So we need to disable it.
Still need to analyze why the other plugins could not be installed.

This bug no longer occurs because the devstyle plugin is no longer included when installing Eclipse plugins via the IDE settings.

Due to lack of permissions, Microsoft's mklink with junction had to be used to create a Symlink. See https://github.com/devonfw/IDEasy/blob/main/documentation/symlink.adoc for further details. Error was: C:\Users\jkostiuk\projects\NewTest\software\eclipse: Dem Client fehlt ein erforderliches Recht
You are on Windows and you do not have permissions to create symbolic links. Junctions are used as an alternative, however, these can not point to relative paths. So the source (..\..\_ide\software\default\eclipse\eclipse\2025-06) is interpreted as an absolute path.

The fix of issue #1332 also addresses this by ensuring that a failed plugin installation no longer causes the entire installation process to fail.
