OK, found the problem: offline package has not included HABpanel… was it intended that way?
That’s how it is with the experimental features (and I think the setting says that you need to activate the online repo, right?).
Almost, but not quiet 
It is still under development at Eclipse SmartHome - the engine itself is working pretty well already, but there aren’t many “modules” available yet, which makes it a bit useless for users.
Issues and enhancements about it are tracked here, feel free to join the discussions: Issues · eclipse-archived/smarthome · GitHub
Ouch, that could be the “problem” hehehe, I will check it out again but what you say should be right =)
Thanks!
I updated from 2.0b3 to 2.0b4 by replacing the runtime directory with the zip downloaded from bintray. When I go to add extensions from Paper UI, nothing shows up. Doing a search appears to do nothing as well. See below.
Am I missing something?
edit: It’s running on Ubuntu 16.04 on a Pine64.
edit2: it was a permissions problem on the runtime directory.
What was the exact permissions issue? I am having the same problem after updating (no extensions show up on Paper UI), but I don’t see anything wrong with my runtime directory.
Also, the Basic UI doesn’t even seem to load, just shows the home bar at the top…
My runtime directory was owned by root, not the user I run openhab as.
Thinking back, I also purged the contents of userdata/cache/* and userdata/tmp/*, and that may have had more to do with it than the permissions.
That should not be a problem. Configuration and userdata need to belong to openhab though.
Without being able to reference the thread, this was proposed as the solution for this problem. This should do: sudo rm -rf /var/lib/openhab2/cache/*
You will probably also need to reinstall your addons. Don’t worry, the things linked to them before are still known.
Hi
Is the OH2 download on the main OH website the beta4 version or is it still the beta2 version?
http://www.openhab.org/getting-started/downloads.html
It would be handy if the website actually stated what versions they are.
Thanks,
Neil.
Try this link http://docs.openhab.org/overview.html .
This will take you to the OH2 docs and download links.
This fixed my problem with no extensions showing up. Thanks!
It states that these are the snapshot releases (also mentioned in the filename) - so that is always the latest nightly build.

Looking at https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB-Distribution/
Build #556 (Oct 26, 2016 3:31:10 AM) Failed, so cant install using this method :-/
Edit: Update… Build #556 does seem to have issues… I also get the same error (404) when running apt-get update and it does appear as Failed on Cloudbees…
BR,
Dim
The last build failed, therefore the snapshot repo is wiped out. The repo will be available on the next successful build. We’ll working on a solution to get rid of the dependency of build success to having a snapshot apt-repo. Stay tuned, it will need some time to get this done.

I just installed the new build (#557) using apt-get on a Raspberry Pi 3 from https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB-Distribution/ and all work fine
Thanx @theo !

Question, as it is now some weeks since the last beta release.
Should i wait for a new beta version before starting a fresh install, or is it no problem to get started tonight?
Up to you. You can start with the current snapshot or wait for the next beta (which I’d plan for some time mid December).

I am not sure, but eclipse does not like any of the URLs I have found from Kai. Tonight, I will try to download the tar ball and create a new project with it and see if that works. Seems like he has that code in a different place and not the git repo.
Otherwise, I think I may start my new development on my local copy of the master branch.
Great work. Congrats from the Eclipse Foundation Europe
