Hello,
I've been working on deploying a set of plugins as a feature that can be
downloaded from an update site. I used an "Update Site" project to build the
update site and gather all of the plugins. Everything seems to work fine
there. However, when I try to use the Update Manager on another installation
of Eclipse (both are 2.1.1), something strange happens with one of my
plugin.xml files. For some reason, the name of the file gets changed to
plugin{randome digits}.xml--something like plugin9830034321.xml. I checked
the jar file that the file is packaged in, and everything seems fine there.
Is this a known bug, or what?

When a plugin is installed, its plugin.xml is first renamed to something
like you describe above. When everything went fine, during the commit phase,
the temp file name is renamed to plugin.xml.
I think this was a choice made in order to not let partially installed
plugins to break an existing configuration.
In your case, perhaps you have a plugin that is included by two features
nested in the same hierarchy.

No, I installed the feature on a fresh installation of Eclipse. I don't know
where the problem could be coming from.

If you think this is a problem with update, please open a bug report and
provide all the info, including an update site that can be used to reproduce
the problem.
Thanks!
