A plug-in that I want to install provides an update site for installation. However, the Eclipse installation that I want to install it to is on a machine that is not connected to the Internet. Is there a way for me to access the site (HTTP, FTP, etc.) to download the files in it for offline installation?

Best Answer
Eclipse offers a way of mirroring these sites automatically, either through the command line or through ant tasks.
Mirror based on p2 information
Reference: Equinox p2 repository mirroring
Mirror based on site.xml information
Reference: Running the update manager from the command line
You can follow the evolution of these scripts in my script repository.
