Hi all,

I am getting crazy here and can't find any other references to similar problems newer than 2012. I'm not sure if it's a PDE or P2 problem.

When I try to reload a target file, I started getting errors about not being able to satisfy dependencies to equinox.launchers and SWT from other platforms. This same target and the same workspace and eclipse installations I have used for a couple of months ago, and it was working fine. I tried cleaning up, reinstalling, restoring from git, etc but the results are the same.

Strangely, building with maven and using the very same target works like it should.

I have a weak memory that I had the same problem when setting up the projects in the beginning, but somehow that got fixed and I didn't write down what made it work. It kept working for a long while after that, but now when reopening the projects after a pause it happens again...

I tried with both Mars and Neon, and both the respective update sites. If anyone has any ideas what could be wrong, I will be forever grateful!

best regards,
Vlad

It's weirder than I thought. When I create a new target definition and add just the Platform SDK and the PDE, it gives no error when reloading, but the list of bundles is missing almost everything.

index.php/fa/27546/0/

I tried to clean up everything (.eclipse, workspace), I ran with both Mars and Neon, I can't make it work again and I don't understand anything...

Does anyone have an idea?
