Describe the bug
Currently the GhidraDevPlugin depends on PyDev, in the past issues like #5980 creeped up as PyDev has moved forward well past 3 major versions (currently 12.x). This dependency on versions that are deprecated can cause issues.

It seems the 9.3.0 repositories are finally broken, including those pointing at HTTP-only mirrors that should not be readily trusted.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Setup the build environment as documented in Building and Advanced Development
  2. Follow the Eclipse-related steps.
  3. See error

Expected behavior
The current situation should be documented further to include at least a reference to the extant (still working) repositories for the PyDev packages:

https://www.pydev.org/update_sites/
https://www.pydev.org/update_sites/9.3.0/ (all broken)

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Ubuntu 24.04 development environment
  • Java Version: 21
  • Ghidra Version: current master/git
  • Ghidra Origin: Official github repo

It seems https://github.com/fabioz/Pydev/releases/download/pydev_9_3_0/ is broken but the release itself is still present at the release page:

https://github.com/fabioz/Pydev/releases/tag/pydev_9_3_0

It might be enough to add the link to the README.
