Update:
Bug 70176 has been marked resolved. You can now install EMF, SDO, and
XSD from UM and have it work past the first restart of Eclipse.
Starting with bare Eclipse install, then used UM against the EMF
Secondary Update Manager Site
(http://emf.torolab.ibm.com/tools/emf/updates/,
http://downloads.eclipse.org/tools/emf/updates/, etc.) to add the new
plugins, to a new plugin Install Location (as listed under Help >
Software Updates > Manage Configuration... > Product Configuration).
Several restarts later, still working.
Tests used the following Eclipse and EMF builds.
PASSED: EMF SDK 2.0.1.M200408261626, Eclipse 3.0.1.M20040825
PASSED: EMF SDK 2.0.1.M200408261626, Eclipse 3.1.0.N20040831
Note that support for using UM to update non-Release (that is,
Maintenance and Integration) builds may be removed at any time, since
using a Discovery URL to define a secondary Update URL is, well, not
exactly the intent of a Discovery URL.
However, I've opened a new feature request against Platform / Update to
ask that more than one Update URL be possible (or to provide for
secondary/alternate Update URLs) to continue to provide this level of
support. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=73004
Let me know if you encounter any more UM-related problems with respect
to EMF. Note that we're aware of a bug where the label "EMF/SDO/XSD
Secondary Update Site" when checking for updates to previously-installed
EMF versions appears as "%secondaryUpdateSiteName" instead. This should
be fixed in a forthcoming EMF release.
Oh, and as far as null pointers go, don't forget about the infamous
Crimson DOM problem when starting up Eclipse (if using XSD):
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/scripts/downloads-xerc es.php
Simplest way to implement is a shortcut to eclipse with this as its target:
E:\eclipse3.1N20040831\eclipse\eclipse.exe -data e:\workspace -vmargs
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=E:\eclipse-jars\org.apache.xerces_2.6.2
Thanks,
