Hi,
I was in the middle of downloading/installing the Eclipse Database Development tools, when my computer froze and I had to restart (hurray ubuntu 12.04 instability). This is on Eclipse 3.7.2.
This appears to have left eclipse in a bad state. Maybe some of the plugin files were corrupted, or incompletely downloaded, or various other resource files are mid-update and thefore invalid.
When I tried to install the Database Development Tools plugin again, I got the error message:
An error occurred during the org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.CheckTrust phase.
session context was:(profile=PlatformProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.CheckTrust, operand=, action=).
0
0
I can see on disk that a number of org.eclipse.datatools.* files have size 0. I deleted them (actually moved to a backup location) hoping it would force a redownload, but then I just get the same CheckTrust phase error, but now telling me that it's a file not found.
Nothing about the plugin appears as being installed if I go to Help-> About -> Installation Details and look at the history or plugins.
As far as I can tell, Eclipse has some knowledge that it has already downloaded/installed the plugin somewhere, but since the PC was rebooted in the middle of installation it's incomplete and corrupt. I can't "uninstall" the plugin since it doesn't think it's installed, but I can't install it because it won't properly download files or overwrite configurations.
How can I cleanup the failed install, or how can I force a new download/install?
Thanks,
Greg
