I’m a little stuck, so I would really like to help. Thanks

Answer 1

You can also specify your site updates:

http://beust.com/eclipse-5.11.0.28

Answer 2

If you look at the specified location in your browser, you will see that the old jar you are requesting isn’t there anymore. Fortunately, you can still download the old version from the TestNG website and install it yourself.

Answer 3

This is because version 5.11.0.28 is no longer on this server .

try org.testng.eclipse_5.12.0.6.jar

(sorry, part of the question was in the title, you asked for an older version ...)
