Poem

I flipped a tiny switch—hop!—now updates flow,
From Eclipse’s latest burrow, fresh bits glow.
Ears up, paws tap, dependencies align,
One nibble of config—everything’s fine.
(°·ᴗ·°)／ carrot-commit, ship in time!

96-96: Give the repo a friendly name for UI clarity.

Empty name renders poorly in “Manage”/p2 dialogs.

-      <repository location="https://download.eclipse.org/releases/latest/" name="" enabled="true" />
+      <repository location="https://download.eclipse.org/releases/latest/" name="Eclipse Releases" enabled="true" />

96-96: Verify target-platform compatibility and update behavior across OSes.

releng/com.espressif.idf.product/idf.product currently enables http://download.eclipse.org/releases/latest/ (repositories block — lines ~95–97); the target file pins https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2025-03/ (releng/com.espressif.idf.target/com.espressif.idf.target.target). Manifests also pin CDT bundles (e.g., bundles/com.espressif.idf.ui/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF: org.eclipse.cdt.core;bundle-version="9.0.0").

• If enabling releases/latest is unintended: disable it or replace with a pinned release URL in releng/com.espressif.idf.product/idf.product.
• If intentional: validate p2 update prompt / auto-update behavior on Windows, Linux and macOS to ensure Platform/CDT will not be upgraded beyond tested versions (check restart/privilege flows).
• Cross-check product features vs target definition and bundle-version pins (releng/com.espressif.idf.target/... and bundles/*/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF) before release.

@sigmaaa hi!

Tested under:
OS - Windows 11 / Linux Ubuntu

eclipse product latest update site enabled ✔️
LGTM 👍

@alirana01 @kolipakakondal please, review

The only problem could be that as soon as Eclipse pushes an update to a newer version, Espressif-IDE will prompt you to update. However, we are not sure whether our plugins are compatible with the latest version or not

[kolipakakondal]

Another thing could be that it will prompt you with too many irrelevant updates, which may confuse the user. Obviously, the user don't want install all of them which are not required to run the espressif-ide, we can see if we can solve the same problem with a selective approach.
