Hi,

I just updated to Eclipse 3.4M6 and I am missing the menu action "Help >
Software Updates > Manage Configuration". I can access the corresponding
dialog via a keyboard shortcut. But where is the menu entry gone?

Good question. It's the same in the latest Integration build.

That functionality has been replaced by the new p2 component, which is
intended to make updating and config management a lot better. See
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2

Hope this helps,
Eric

You know that Manage Configuration has been replaced by p2 and the new
software updates UI.

But you can get it back, go to Window>Preferences>General>Capabilities
and include "Classic Update"

if you REAAAALLLY miss it.. make sure there is a problem with your
configuration, like the recent ECF version conflict between P2 and ...
(I was trying to install EMF + some other features - the install led to
a second version of the ECF library to get installed and crash P2) with
3.4M6a, and the old UI is going to come back. ;-)

However, it seems that p2 does not (yet?) support to have several
extension locations. Is that correct?

It supports roughly equivalent functionality. Did you read the Getting
Started page?
