Issue
My Eclipse works fine, but now, periodically a message box comes up saying
Code Recommenders cannot download its model repository index
What does this mean?
Solution
If you go to "Preferences"/"Code Recommenders"/"Models" you will see some Repository URL's listed. In my case it is http://download.eclipse.org/recommenders/models/photon/
.
But when you call that URL you will get a 404
since the site has been archived in July 2019.
So this URL beeing invalid causes the Error. Since the URL is not available is seems save to silently ignore
it, as beeing suggested in the error-dialog.
As beeing said in the Reviews on eclipse Marketplace the project is archived due to lack of comitting developers. And you may find an archived last version here: https://repo.eclipse.org/content/shadows/releases.unzip/org/eclipse/recommenders/stable/
