I have Eclipse version 2021.12 but have tried this with versions as old as Mars and cannot get the plugin downloaded from within Eclipse. I continue getting the following error:  
 ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/flowable/original/2X/a/aac87e04bd718a148251082d6f2a0e90d020109c.png)

Please let me know if there is a solution or a workaround.

Same here as well. Does anyone have a backup repository anywhere?

Same here, this was my first installation. I was following these guidelines:  
[Eclipse Designer · Flowable Open Source Documentation](https://wwv.flowable.com/open-source/docs/bpmn/ch13-Designer/).  
I hope this error can be fixed soonest.

[Edit] is this the possible reason, should I have access to that resource?

Is this fixed ?  
I am seeing this issue in Eclipse build  
Version: 2021-03 (4.19.0)

Build id: 20210312-0638

Please suggest if there is any solution

Kind Regards,

It looks like a documentation error? I tried below path, and able to install the plugin successfully.

I tried this suggestion but it failed:

Has this been resolved? The link isn’t working for me either and the flowable documentation hasn’t been updated to show how to perform a successful installation on Eclipse.

Yes, we used a later version of Eclipse Flowable installed correctly. Thanks for the follow up.
