Oracle has ended support for Sun SPOTs and turned off the former host www.sunspotworld.com. This has had some unfortunate consequences, one of which is that Sun SPOT Manager can no longer connect for doing upgrades, installs, etc.
While the vast majority of Sun SPOT code is Open Source, the code for Sun SPOT Manager is not open source and therefore it cannot be updated to connect to this new mirror site. Further, Oracle refuses to relinquish the sunspotworld.com domain to me. If you'd like to lobby Oracle to change this, feel free to contact Charles Tanaka @ Oracle to lobby for Oracle to release the domain and/or the Sun SPOT Manager code to me.
In the meantime, you can download the last release of the Sun SPOT SDK as a jar file and then use Sun SPOT Manager to do a 'local' install. |
