Hi,
I have built an update site for some of our eclipse plugins. However, I find that I cannot update a set of plugins if the eclipse copy that I am trying to update has some unresolved dependencies !
This is happening irrespective of what plugins I am updating. To illustrate with an example, I have features A and B which are not dependent on each other. Feature A includes plugin a1 and feature B includes plugin b1.
Now, if plugin a1 is not present in the plugins dir and I try to update feature B, I am unable to do that. I get a message saying "The current configuration contains errors and this operation can have unpredictable results"
So is it correct that if the current configuration contains errors, I cannot use the update manager at all ?
If not whats the way out ?
Regards
HK

That is correct - Update Manager won't proceed until existing
configuration problems are fixed. You should correct the missing
dependencies for A first before trying to update B, or disable A from
the Manage Configuration dialog.
Keep in mind that Update Manager is being completely replaced for 3.4.
See http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/incubator/provisioning/
Hope this helps,
