Hi,

I am trying out Eclipse e4 and I've run into a bit of a trouble getting
the target platform ready for develompment.

When I use the p2 update site that is supposed to include everything and
then follow an excellent tutorial by Vogel, I get complaints that
org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.* plugins can not be found.

It seems these are not part of the update site.

When I install the full build, all the dependencies seem to work okay,
but e4 IDE itself is a bit too unstable for my tastes.

Which p2 update site? There isn't a single update site that could take an Eclipse classic SDK upto a p2 SDK.

Right now you have 2 choices.

1) Take the e4 SDK, which has everything built in.

2) install eclipse classic SDK, install EMF SDK, GEF SDK, parts of WTP (at least XML Editors and Tools). Then use the p2 link off of an e4 build page to install all of the parts of e4. None of the discovery sites included in the SDK will point to the correct place, and the e4 build p2 site does not contain everything.

I'm trying to figure out how to provide a more general update path for e4 I builds, but it is not easy (without replicating 3 projects worth of update sites as well as my own ... that's a lot of disk space).

I resorted for now to the workaround that involved downloading latest
3.6M3 RCP build, slapping EMF tooling, GEF and WTP on it and using
downloaded e4 1.0M1 All-in-one SDK package as a target platform...

Where is this p2 that contains everything? the one linked from p2
downloads section did not contain at least o.e.e4.ui.workbench.* bundles
(maybe others as well, but these were the ones I stumbled upon).

Some sort of p2 federation framework would probably help a lot...

Do you mean the link from an e4 build page that says " online p2 repo link"?

It definitely contains o.e.e4.ui.workbench.* ... but they wouldn't install if you didn't have the right features already installed in your eclipse (the correct version of EMF and the Eclipse classic SDK amongst them).

Right now the 2 things that have to work when we deliver are 1) the all in one e4 SDKs and 2) the online p2 repo (presuming you have all of the pre-reqs installed correctly).

If someone wants to pick another path (upgrading through the update manager) and create the necessary infrastructure, please contribute patches at https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=E4&c omponent=UI
