Description:

It is not possible to download most of libraries/modes via Contribution Manager, Contribution Manager does not work properly e.g. shows "Error during download and install of MQTT."

Additional info:
* ver. 3.4-1
* Binary version from upstream http://download.processing.org/processing-3.4-linux64.tgz works as expected.

Steps to reproduce:

Sketch / Import Library ... / Add Library ... / select library and click button Install

Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  Reported upstream. Could possibly be related to OpenJDK, that upstream does not want to support.

Thanks for reporting.

* I tried installing "AI for 2D Games", and this worked as expected.
* Then I tried installing "Console" which gave this error: "Error during download and install of Console.".

Since one of the packages worked fine, but not the other, it's hard to tell if this is a packaging issue or not.

Please ask the processing developers to add a more informative error message than just "Error during download and install", to make debugging easier.

Waiting for a response from upstream here:

I can confirm that downloading MQTT works with the binary version from download.processing.org.

I modified the processing package, so that it outputs more informative error message when this fails. Now I get:
"Can not download https://github.com/256dpi/processing-mqtt/releases/download/latest/mqtt.zip to /tmp/download186288038810673513mqtt.zip : Error during download and install of MQTT."

When downloading mqtt.zip with either "wget" or "curl" (with the -L flag, since there is a redirect) to /tmp/download186288038810673513mqtt.zip manually, it works fine.

Some tools, like "Ani" or "AI for 2D Games" download and install just fine.

This leads me to believe that this is not a directory/permission issue, and not an issue with downloading, but perhaps an issue related to downloading from URLs that has a redirect.

I think this may be a problem with the processing source code, in combination with using OpenJDK. I believe this should be fixed upstream, even though processing currently don't want to support OpenJDK.
