I’m working out what looks like a
possible solution to the problem now, but it looks like it stems from me
installing eclipse as root and then attempting to run the p2 update as a user.
I believe if you installed Eclipse that way you would see the same dependency
errors.

Jack, can you please give me some instructions on how
to reproduce the problems you encounter? I'd like to try it out.
CDT should not have dependencies on any modelling projects as far as I know.
And yes, p2 is supposed to calculate and pull in all dependencies for you from
any of its known sources/update sites.

It may be something to do with the modules selected under the CDT,
but yeah, p2 has definitely not made it easier to figure out what is truly
needed. I really haven’t looked into p2 yet. Is it supposed to handle
dependencies automatically?

Ummm....
CDT requiring EMF is news to me... although this is the second time this week
I've heard someone say this... I think there is something going haywire with
p2.
Anybody have any idea about this?

[cdt-dev] horrified at new experience

First, please recognize that I am a fan of the CDT and all the work that has
been done on it to date. Unfortunately, I need to send some criticism and I
hope you won’t take it too harshly.
I’ve been using Eclipse and the CDT for a couple of years now and I have
to say that my recent experience absolutely horrified me. The CDT used to be
very simple to install as it used very few additional frameworks, but now you
have incorporated all of these new modeling frameworks. I understand the need
for using these new frameworks, but there is no indication on the CDT site
about the dependencies and you don’t find out about them until you go to
install the CDT. The last two Eclipse versions had the same problem, but I
didn’t see the need to complain because it was easy enough to find the
MDT modules and EMF. Unfortunately, it’s getting worse. The CDT FAQ
refers to installation instructions that are only as recent as 2004 and
don’t indicate any need for these prerequisite installs. I guarantee you
people are walking away from the CDT and Eclipse C/C++ development as an IDE as
a result. Someone really needs to consider making the installation process
easier and an update to the FAQ is long past due.
