How do I add this repo (at download.opensuse.org)? YAST tells me it can't open it

When I go into software management -> repositories and add the repo as:


http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Java:/Factory/openSUSE_42.1/x86_64/

It tells me it can’t open that repo. I want the software in there, how do I add the proper repo?

Hi
Drop the x86_64/ TMI it needs the repodata directory…

From the command line…


zypper ar -f http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Java:/Factory/openSUSE_42.1/ "Java:Factory"
zypper ref
