Since I can't find "org.eclipse.datatools.doc.user (1.5.2)" listed anywhere
as a FEATURE, I have no way to even resolve this problem.
But it seems to be related to:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.dtp/msg00881.h tml
But if I take John Graham's advice in
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.dtp/msg00882.h tml
And try to install new features I end up with a Dialog
"Duplicate Conflicts"
"If you continue with the update/install, the resulting configuration will
contain duplication conflicts that may cause parts of the product to be
unusable. Do you want to continue."
And everything is in all two or three of my install directories.
Data Tools Platform Connectivity
Version 1.5.1.200709261 in /C:/Program Files/MyEclipse 6.0/...
Version 1.5.2.200802201 in /C:/tools/eclipse/
Version 1.5.2.200802201 in /C:/tools/eclipseExtras/eclipse/
The idea is
C:/tools/eclipse the generic Eclipse install
C:/Program File/MyEclipse 6.0/ the MyEclipse install
C:/tools/eclipsExtras/ "4th Party" features I manually
added myself neither from a base Eclipse install or MyEclipse.
Typically the same three are listed for all other parts of the DTP conflict
(I'm assuming they are all part of DTP since that is what I clicked. but I
can only assume that by their names). A few of the conflicts list only two
of the dirs (leaving out my extras directory).
I don't know what feature installed such duplicates (and what I mis-clicked
while installing), but it seems my install is hosed or at least confused for
upgrade, but seems to work fine in actual use (at the moment).
Any ideas how I got myself so confused?
What does anyone recommend? Should I answer "Do you want to continue?" with
a YES
Or should I uninstall and reinstall appropriately?
Is there some way to clean this up without loosing my projects? Or would
you guess I ought to start over and do the following:
+remind myself what features I really wanted in extras
+save workspace
+install eclipse ("IDE of Java Developers")
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technolo gy/epp/downloads/release/europa/winter/eclipse-jee-europa-wi nter-win32.zip
+install myeclipse
+install extras
+put workspace back in place.
Comments?

Thanks for the reminder to save the workspace 1st. I'm thinking a reinstall
is in order.
Upon further examination, I see that one reason for duplicates in Eclipse
and MyEclipse is I put MyEclipse as add on feature
with an Eclipse _J2EE_ IDE install. That installation confusingly contains
many of the same features of MyEclipse.
So off I go to do 5 installs: Eclipse, MyEclipse, SVN, ClearQuest (yuk!) and
TestNG to put it all back together.
I figure a clean reinstall is prudent since by summer we are going to
MYEclipse Pro and thus Matisse4Eclipse and MyUML etc.
which will only add more features to the pile. "Feature Hell" anyone?
Since I was thinking about actually coding in Java, I'll avoid getting to
know MyLyn (since we don't use Bugzilla or Trac).

Trying to help myself (and others who might read this later).
Apparently, yes the FAQ Page is right.

You need to add the Subclipse Eclipse Feature then disconnect all projects
(open all, team disconnect all and retain SVN information).
And to answer another question I had:
> Can I leave Subclipse installed and have it play well with subversive?
No, you can not have both features installed, because the first thing that
happens when you try to connect a project to a repository is that you have
to chose the provider, but (despite the above referenced help saying
"Select Subversive SVN provider in Share Project wizard") both Subclipse
and Subversive list themselves as simply "SVN". You can only guess which
one is the one you want.
Now, if I can wade through the broken Engrish of the User Manual I might
learn something other then what I can see on the Team menu (there seems to
be a lot of verb tense, pronoun and article problems in the on-line docs,
so I'm guessing that the writer is not a native speaker of English).
Someone could
do a service to the project and edit the pages that are part of the
on-line and installed help. No I'm not volunteering, sorry.
