Re: [mpc-dev] remediation testing in mpc

["Oberhuber, Martin" <Martin.Oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I’m surprised that so many solutions fail without remediation - especially when you install on top of the Standard package.

 

Perhaps I’m misunderstanding the purpose of remediation, but I thought that it was good for resolving conflicting dependencies by allowing to upgrade what I have installed. So when you install Maven for WTP on Kepler Standard, I cannot quite see what conflicts would be resolved ?

 

Similar for Github for Mylyn, or especially P4Eclipse ? These should be “plain add-ons” so I can’t quite see why they would have to upgrade my base ?

 

Does anybody have an explanation for this ?

 

Thanks,

Martin

All,

 

I did some testing of the remediation support we have in MPC. I was using RC2 Standard package in Windows 7 64-bit.

 

I installed the following Marketplace listings via the MPC, first with remediation disabled and second with remediation enabled.

 

1.      Sonar – failed witout remedation;  passes with remediation

2.      Maven for WTP – failed without remediation; passes with remediation

3.      STS for Eclipse Juno (4.2 and 3.8) - failed without remediation; passes with remediation

4.      Github for Mylyn – did not test without remediation but pretty sure it would fail; passes with remediation

5.      Chronon – passes with and without remediation

6.      P4Eclipse – failed without remediation; passes with remediation NOTE: not sure but it seems this plugin also downloaded CDT?

7.      Oracle ADF Tools for Helios – did not test without remediation; fails with remediation

8.      Oracle ADF Tools for Kepler - did not test without remediation; fails with remediation 

9.      Oracle Enterprise Pack for Kepler - did not test without remediation; fails with remediation 

 

The last two seem odd considering the name of the listing but I suspect it is something wrong with their update site. Pascal would you mind looking at these last two.

 

Carsten and anyone else, have you had a chance to test. I am fine with have remediation enabled for RC3 but I would like to see what other people have done for testing.
