So, it looks like I'm still
stuck. We now internally have a p2 repo
with the platform.ide IU. So, I can upgrade a pure platform
installation (an installation with only the platform and no upstream
components) via p2 thanks to the help I got from the folks on this list.
However, what I'm ultimately trying to do is upgrade the platform in a
complete Eclipse commercial product--an installation that has not only
the platform, but CDT, RSE and a variety of other components.
Naturally, they all have a dependency on the platform.
So, the question is: how do I swap in a newer platform without
uninstalling all the upstream pieces that rely on the platform? Is that
at all possible? Is there a way to tell p2 "uninstall this piece even
though other things depend on it, so that I may install a newer version
of it".

If I'm reading what you're describing correctly, you are
starting
with a 3.6.0 SDK zip. You can't take a 3.6 SDK and replace the platform
that it contains. What the error message you posted says is that the
SDK 3.6.0 requires the Platform 3.6.0 and if you install Platform 3.6.1
then you will break it.
Coincidentally enough, the p2 team has been working on a new feature so
if you run into the problem described above, we will recommend that you
also update the SDK to 3.6.1 (if available) and then your install will
complete. The feature is almost implemented and will appear in the 3.8
integration builds soon.
If you use the Platform zip (e.g.
eclipse-platform-3.6.1-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz) you will see the
platform.ide IU:
<unit id='org.eclipse.platform.ide'
version='3.6.1.M20100909-0800'>
So to fix your problem you either need to use a Platform zip (and
update the org.eclipse.platform.ide IU) or change your command-line to
update the org.eclipse.sdk.ide IU.

There is no IU called org.eclipse.platform.ide in the p2 zip (org.eclipse.platform-3.6.1.zip). The only IUs
in that p2 with 'platform' in the name are:
org.eclipse.platform
org.eclipse.platform.doc.user
org.eclipse.platform.feature.group
org.eclipse.platform.feature.jar
org.eclipse.platform_root
Here's what I get (cleaned up) when I try to
update
the platform in the 3.6 SDK with the one from the 3.6.1 p2 zip
Cannot complete the install because of a
conflicting dependency.
Software being installed: Eclipse Platform
3.6.1.r361_v20100909-9gF78GrkFqw7GrsZnvz0JWNTeb6fue6896L
(org.eclipse.platform.feature.group
3.6.1.r361_v20100909-9gF78GrkFqw7GrsZnvz0JWNTeb6fue6896L)
Software currently installed: Eclipse SDK
3.6.0.I20100608-0911 (org.eclipse.sdk.ide 3.6.0.I20100608-0911)
Only one of the following can be installed at
once:
Eclipse Platform 3.6.0.v201006080911
(org.eclipse.platform 3.6.0.v201006080911)
Eclipse Platform 3.6.1.v201009090800
(org.eclipse.platform 3.6.1.v201009090800)
[snip]
I've tried specifying each of the IUs listed
above.
None of them work.
Finally, here's the cmdline I'm using:
"C:\eclipse_3.7\eclipsec" ^
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director ^
-nosplash ^
-consoleLog ^
-profile SDKProfile ^
-installIU "org.eclipse.platform.feature.group" ^
-repository file:/f:/temp/testp2/plat361p2 ^
-destination f:\temp\testp2\sdk36\eclipse

Yes, you should be able to update the platform
via
p2. If you have the platform zip, the platform.feature.group may be
blocked by the org.eclipse.platform.ide InstallableUnit. Try updating
that instead. _______________________________________________
