Hi all,
I'm posting this here in addition to my original post to
eclipse.platform, as I believe this newsgroup might be a better fit.
I seem to have problems installing additional plug-ins into my Eclipse
Ganymede under Windows Vista.
Whenever I use the "Software Updates and Add-ons" dialogue, all plug-ins
thus installed are put into the plugins directory under
C:\Users\<Current User>\.eclipse rather than directly into the eclipse
folder (which I have put at C:\Programme\eclipse). So far so good. When
restarting Eclipse, it seems that these plug-ins are also loaded
accordingly, as functionality provided by them is actually available in
the IDE. However, it seems that they are managed quite differently from
the other plug-ins. In particular, they are not visible in the "Plug-in
Dependencies" and "Plug-ins" views. Also, none of the plug-ins I develop
can depend on any plug-in so installed or Eclipse will report that it
was unable to resolve the corresponding bundle.
It seems that P2 will store the list of installed bundles in a
bundles.info file somewhere in the configuration space of the eclipse
directory. In my situation, I now have two such bundles.info files, one
under C:\Programme\eclipse\... and one under C:\Users\<Current
User>\.eclipse. These two files are substantially different. Could it
be that different parts of Eclipse actually use different of these
files? How could I prevent this?
Has anyone had the same experience before? What could I be doing wrong?
I would really appreciate any feedback, since I cannot even seem to
install standard Eclipse bundles at the moment.
Best regards and thanks in advance,
Steffen
