Joel,
Thanks for your reply. I agree that the Update Manager has problems. =
It has been getting better with each version, however. it is one of the =
real advantages of using Eclipse. It does work OK most of the time, and =
my experience is that it is usually owing to a bad configuration of the =
update site when it doesn't.
In any event, I don't want to manage Eclipse plug-ins manually. I =
appologize if that seems uncooperative, but I don't have the time to do =
that. I will uninstall TPTP first. That would be unfortunate as I have =
found it to be an impressive tool. But it is not something I use on a =
daily basis.
I also don't want to install WTP if I can avoid it. I have found it to =
be buggy and it caused me far more problems with 3.2 than TPTP has with =
3.3. I do need to use it, but until I have the time to babysit it more =
thoroughly, I would rather not have it installed. It like, TPTP, is =
interfering with the time I have to spend on things that I do have to do =
on a daily basis.
I also don't want to install everything in sight that might find the =
missing plug-in. That will just cause more problems. I have found KISS =
to be an excellent guiding principle. (I guess that would mean =
uninstalling TPTP ;-)
When providing features on an update site, the developer has the =
obligation to specify the correct dependencies in the feratures. For =
something as complicated as TPTP that may not be easy, but the =
responsibly should be on the developer to do that. I believe that if =
the feature dependencies are specified correctly, then there should be =
no "missing constraints" in the plug-ins. I think the problem should be =
corrected on the update-site end.
I am not currently having trouble with other projects since upgrading to =
3.3.
Thanks again,.

Hi Ken,=20
The jar that is missing is part of the WTP dependency. There are known =
issues with Update Manager not obtaining some bundles during install. I =
would suggest getting the dependecies using the links from our website =
(http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/) and putting them in your =
workbench. In my replication of the problem, I downloaded DTP, EMF, GEF =
and WTP to fix the missing constraint error. You may want to also =
install BIRT. Please follow up with your outcome.=20
