I encountered this issue with CDT
bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=344009#attach_200327
The fix is in 8.0.1 which I tried to download and install using the Available Site method in Eclipse. It didn't work because I had an older version of Eclipse.
So I went to the Eclipse download site to get Indigo, but there are no "Platform" or "Platform SDK" downloads, so I picked the C/C++ one.
This time I was unable to install the SR1 version of CDT because it conflicts with some EEP package or another. What I guessed was that the C/C++ "feature" is a package deal that can only be upgraded all at once. This is not possible right now as 8.0.1 is not in a feature package.
My older version of Eclipse (3.5) was a "Platform SDK" download which means that it has no features or package deals, but I since I can find no equivalent on the Indigo download page, I downloaded the "for Testers" version. I correctly figured that it would have no CDT plugins, and sure enough I was able to install the SR1 version of CDT in it.
While this does solve the problem for the moment, I'd still like to know how to get a "clean" version of Eclipse that doesn't contain these feature package deals.
