I am trying to add a plugin using the Update/Install Manager. This plugin
requires some of the cdt plugins, among others. When I create a Feature
the Required Features/ Plugins are calculated, and the Feature exports ok.
I then have created an Update Site Project. But when I try and install
it using the Update/Install Manager I get an error

"Requested operation cannot be performed because it would invalidate the
current configuration"

and in the details says

"Feature requires plug-in "org.eclipse.cdt" and the other cdt plug-ins.

The cdt plug-ins are in my eclipse/plugins directory. It does not give me
an error with the other required plug-ins. When I follow the same steps
with a plug-in that doesn't require the cdt plug-ins it works fine. I
found a similar problem posted back in February, but no resolution to it.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Susan

This is a known limitation in the UpdateManager. When required plug-ins
validation is performed,
only plug-ins owned by currently configured features are considered.
Orphaned plug-ins (those that appear in the 'plugins' directory but are not
owned by any feature) are ignored.
Feel free to discuss this on the platform update developer's mailing list if
the current install behavior is undesireable.
