Either something like another PPA or similar would be hugely helpful.
We support Maven as an alternative download method, this might be what you're looking for. See the article here: http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...ource/l/480976.

We do support Maven! I'd suggest checking out GradleRIO, which probably does what you want. Find it here: https://github.com/Open-RIO/GradleRIO. Note, however, that this is just for the standard WPILib libraries. We don't publish artifacts for 3rd party libraries.

I tried uninstalling the plugin and deleting the files and then re-installing, but still no luck.
As far as we're aware, there are no issues with the plugin like that. What version of Eclipse are you using? If you delete the ~/wpilib folder and restart Eclipse, what happens? It should re-extract the wpilib binaries.
