Unusable EMF plugins in release 2018-09 [message #1797713]

I just upgrade to version Photon 2018-09 this morning. At least the two following plugins from that release are in error in all my manifest files that use them while they were fine with the previous Photon release. The packages they include are not found by the import directive in the source code. However I checked that they are actually located in the convenient directory.

Any clue?

Hi Yves

The EMF plugins are fine for me. Are you sure that it isn't the usual problem that sometimes a couple of cleans/restarts are needed to flush out stale declarations?

Hi Ed,

Thanks for your reply. That what I had in mind at the beginning, and so I did restart it and clean the projects more than once but no change was visible. That's why I ask for help here.

But now you confirm to me that those file are OK, the issue is obviously on my side and I will investigate further even if I've no idea what the hell may happen here! :-)

Hi

Java versions are becoming increasingly significant and troublesome as module assignment changes. I recommend using Java 8 to avoid excitements.

If you were upgrading rather than installing, it is possible that some existing plugin is locking in an old version and that you have overlooked/ P2 did not provide a helpful diagnostic. I recommend a clean installation.

Yes, when I said "upgraded" it may be misleading since I actually did a full reinstallation (i.e. using a new and empty directory). Also I use a Java 8 JVM, as you recommend.

Fixed!

I was using a "clean" install but not a "clean" workspace... Creating a new one and reimporting my projects in it fixed the issue: the plugins are found and the projects now compile properly. :-)

Do you set up a dedicated start platform or are you relying on the running IDE as the target platform? Even the Eclipse IDE itself uses these bundles so there can't be anything fundamentally wrong with them or Eclipse wouldn't even run...

Hi Yves

I have been using the same workspace for four years now, re-using across numerous milestone releases. It is quite some time since I had a nightmare failure to start due to a bad workspace save.

It is possible that some unusual plugin that you use is interacting badly with a memento. You might want to keep an eye out and perhaps investigate to help cure the problem before it becomes a regular irritant.
