I've updated the UI part with a couple of bugfixes, so please download
the current (20040428) version.
I think there might be some sort of error in TClient feature packaging,
because the update was not detected when I entered Software updates > Find
and install > Search for updates of the currenty installed features
It was detected however when I went through ... > Search for new features
to install.
I suspect this is directly related to the "feature does not show up...."
issue. (Or, it may be that I need to add a URL to the feature.xml file, or
something like that).
The TClient feature does not show up in About eclipse > Feature details.
Per my post of 4/23/2004, this happens because the TClient feature, as
packaged, is missing a piece that's required
for the feature to show up in the Features dialog. (If memory serves,
there needs to be what I've called a "feature-plugin" plugin (installs
under eclipse/plugins), as well as the actual "plugins-that-do-work"
components (org.eclipse.stellation.repos, etc.) and the "feature" component
that installs under eclipse/features).
I've appended the relevant bits from our posts of 4/22 and 4/23 below; this
includes a pointer to a doc I wrote on feature packaging (for Eclipse R2,
but probably still relevant, although terminology may not be correct w.r.t.
R3).
Given the "update not detected" issue, it sounds like I should look into
this. Please enter a Bugzilla item for it (Bugzilla > Product:
Stellation > Component: Plugins); it should get assigned to me
automatically, but you can enter my email address <jwright@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
directly if you like.
Another possibility is that there is a bug in 3.0M8, but I have AJDT
feature installed and it shows up correctly and it's updates are picked up
automatically.

Great news to hear! "Eat your own dogfood" approach dramatically improves
quality of any software :-).
I can confirm that TClient installed cleanly into my Eclipse 3.0M8, i'm
seeing the 2 fetures in "Product configuration" dialog. I don't see the
features in the "About eclipse > Feature details" dialog though, but I
can see the individual plugins in "About eclipse > Plug-in details".
A bit of extra work is needed to make a Feature appear in the Feature
details dialog. I wrote a doc about this
back around January 2003, and it's posted on the Stellation website (Main
page > Documentation > Feature Packaging).
It didn't seem worthwhile to go through the extra dance steps for the
TClient...
