Hi all,

I'd like to create a patch for a PDE feature enhancement I requested, to
try to take on bug 257949* but am having difficulty checking out the
source from the CVS repository. I _think_ I'm pulling it from the right
place, but whenever I do I wind up with compiler errors.

I am using 3.5M3 so that my development environment has a near up-to-date
set of plug-ins.

For instance, here are the nine errors associated with the downloaded copy
of org.eclipse.pde.core:

SimpleConfiguratorManipulator cannot be resolved to a type P2Utils.java
org.eclipse.pde.core/src/org/eclipse/pde/internal/core line 116
Java Problem

org.eclipse.pde.core/src/org/eclipse/pde/internal/core line 196
Java Problem
The import org.eclipse.equinox.internal.provisional.simpleconfigurator
cannot be resolved P2Utils.java
org.eclipse.pde.core/src/org/eclipse/pde/internal/core line 20 Java
Problem
The method getComplianceOptions() is undefined for the type
IExecutionEnvironment ClasspathComputer.java
org.eclipse.pde.core/src/org/eclipse/pde/internal/core line 226 Java
Problem
The method setLocation(String) in the type BundleInfo is not applicable
for the arguments (URI) P2Utils.java
org.eclipse.pde.core/src/org/eclipse/pde/internal/core line 151 Java
Problem

So, OK, I didn't give quite that easy, but I then had to search the CVS
repository for SimpleConfiguratorManipulator. To make a long story short,
I found some p2 plugins, downloaded them, and my compiler error count
increased. Unsurprisingly, I don't feel comfortable writing an enhancement
when I can't even get the code to compile!

In this case, the pde.core plug-in came from the CVS path
pde/ui/org.eclipse.pde.core

Your expert advice sought. Thanks!

Rob, can you try Eclipse 3.5M4 (came out last friday)?

Sometimes, when you checkout things from HEAD in Platform projects like
PDE, you need to get other dependencies that we may use that are
actively being developed.

Hope this helps.

Update: I was able to get it most of the way by doing this:

1. Installing 3.5M4.
2. Including org.eclipse.test and org.eclipse.test.performance plug-ins
3. Closing org.eclipse.pde.api.tools and o.e.p.api.tools.tests.
3a. I did this because the only error left was related to being inable to
find o.e..jdt.launching.environments.ExecutionEnvironmentDescript ion, and
rather than import all of o.e.jdt, I cut my losses there.

Thanks! Please let me know if you think I am making any mistakes. Also,
thanks to Remy for his persistent help.
