This issue checked on two different computer with clean eclipse installation.
Now i rolled back to 2.10 release, i works good. Before this, i stayed on nightly channel and untill begin of septembre all was fine.
Also i very supprised that only i faced with this problem, maybe this is my problem only because of any kind of specific configuration or so. I would be very thankfull if somebody check this issue and reply to me!
Thank you very much for this great product! It's developing and improving are life-critical-important for all esp developers!

Hi @userbogd,

Thank you for reporting this. The problem happens because of some changes in dependencies. We are already working on a fix and it will be available in the 2.11.1 release. For now, as a workaround, you can call 'idf.py monitor --no-reset -p PORT' command from ESP-IDF Terminal inside the IDE.

Stupid question... How do install (or update) that build instead of the marketplace build? I tried installing new software it says it can't find anything. I tried copying the features/plugin directories to the eclipse root folder. Can't tell if I'm using the build or the marketplace but the terminal isn't connecting. Just hanging on "Connecting - Encoding: UTF-8"

It's better first to remove plugin installed from marketplace. After that Help -> Install new software... -> Add... -> Archive...
I installed this build without uninstalled 2.11.0, so possible needed first install 2.11.0. You can try to do this if clean install will not helps.

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

I can't get it to work. I get: No software site found at jar:file:/C:/Users/jeffw/Downloads/Espressif-IDE-2.11.1-win32.win32.x86_64.zip!/. (I've also tried the top level zip that was downloaded initially from the site you linked, same error, different file text in the error.)

Unpacking that zip file doesn't help as the archive only allows .zip/.jar.

The right plugin file is 'com.espressif.idf.update.zip' 34,8 MB size. Others are full installers of IDE for different systems. If the problem is still present with first file, i'd try clean eclipse installation, after install 2.11.0 from stable channel, after this update.
