md5 files - how to use them ?

[Angelo Moreschini]

Hi

I got the eclipse plugin "WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip.md5"
(plugin windowbuilder).
The suffix md5 is for checking the integrity of the file...

But I cannot use this file (I cannot to install it on eclipse..)
Nautilus doesn't unzip it,  and also not  the command ;ine tar -xzf.

If I rename the file (in .zip), nothing change..
and also I didn't find some program that can help me...

Some advice will be welcome

Tank you
Angelo

It's for you to verify that the downloaded file is correct.  The plugin 
should be in a file called "WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip". 
Run "md5sum WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip" and the resulting 
hash value should match the contents of the .md5 file.  Do "cat 
WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip.md5" to see that.

An .md5 file contains an MD5 checksum of the related file. You also
need the .zip file, then you can do something like:

md5sum WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip

That will print out the MD5 checksum of the .zip file, which you then
compare to the contents of the .md5 file to verify that the zip file is
correct.

Alternately, assuming you have BOTH the .md5 and .zip file in the same
directory, you can feed the .md5 file to the md5sum command with a
"-c" flag:

md5sum -c WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip.md5

The command will read the .md5 file for the checksum, then compute the
checksum for the .zip file, compare them and tell you if they match.

The file you're looking at with a .zip.md5 suffix, is not a ZIP file. 
It's a text file with a MD5 hash, or checksum, in it.

That's a descriptive text file *about* the other ZIP file.  In this
case a computation on the file, giving you a unique identifier that
will only match the original file if it has not being tampered with.

e.g. example.zip      (an archive)
     example.zip.md5  (a file about the archive)

The same kind of thing can be done with any kind of file, be that a
binary ISO file, a directly executable file, etc.  A separate checksum
can be provided about that file, as a verification that the file is
exactly the file it's supposed to be.

This does mean, however, that you need to get the checksum file from a
source that you can trust.

[Angelo Moreschini]

than you to all,

OK the *files ".zip.MD5"* are text files, that cannot be usable,
                             but I got only a file..zip.MD5 in the site of
eclipse...

I would like know how I can get the "eclipse PLUG-IN" that I need .

I tried this :

commad

output

*md5sum *

./WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip

d06dc1c7000dc910ce4642fc7b09c312 ./WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip

*cat* ./WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip.MD5

d876735181a68126b918735859665fd7
*/shared/tools/windowbuilder/stage/WB/WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip

where I can find the plug-in to use on eclipse  ?

thank you

Let's not turn this into a riddle, please. Where did you download the two
files you refer to above? You've downloaded a .zip file already. If it
doesn't pass the MD5 check, perhaps it has been damaged/truncated during
download. You could use a program like "zip" to test integrity of the
file. Or perhaps the MD5 file is out-of-date. In that case you may need
to ask the publisher of those files.

[Angelo Moreschini]

I downloaded this file to the link
http://www.eclipse.org/windowbuilder/download.php.
There are nothing other that files .zip,MD5.

Perhaps I misunderstand the instruction because my poor English ?
That can be.

But there I could get only a file .zip,MD5.  and no one .zip file.

thank you

I do not use eclipse.  However, in looking at the site it seems you need to
download/access the plugin from within the eclipse UI.  (I've no clue as to the
eclipse UI, that is just my understanding looking at that site).

[Angelo Moreschini]

Hi Ed,

you are right, "adding plugin" is a tool intern to Eclipse...

I already tried this way, but I wasn't able to find there the plug-in
"WindowBuilder" that I need...
So after some time that I worked around this problem I looked for one
alternative.

It seem it is another possibility to setg plug-in : "download the plug-in
as file.zip) on the computer and after to do a local installation" ...

I tried this second possibility,  ....but I found ONLY the file.zip.DM5
(not the WindowBuilder..zip)...

Ok I have to look better inside eclipse..

thank you

The zip file is the "link" part, the md5 file is the "(md5 hash)" part.

But the better way is to copy the "Update site" link and add it the 
software sources in Eclipse.

Of course there is a .zip file on that page, and you've downloaded it before.
If your download is damaged, try again. It works here:

$ md5sum WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip
d876735181a68126b918735859665fd7  WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip

$ cat WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip.MD5 
d876735181a68126b918735859665fd7 */shared/tools/windowbuilder/stage/WB/WB_v1.8.0_UpdateSite_for_Eclipse4.5.zip

Hah, hah.  I see the (my) problem.  Poor formatting of the site, IMHO.  The link for
the zip and the MD5 are too close together and a bit (for me) ambiguous.

The link for downloading the zip file is...

http://eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/windowbuilder/WB/release/R20...

Hope this helps others who may be visually "impaired".
