Re: [pde-dev] product failing to load multiple versions of the sameplugi

[Vince S. <vinceos@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Vikas,

Unfortunately, the issue has not been fixed in 4.5.2. I downloaded 4.5.2 last Friday afternoon and did the same thing I did 5 months ago. That is I built using a target platform that included both versions of the batik plugins needed for my app. And just like then, when I started the .product file, I got a validation error shown below:

What kind of validation test did you perform? And how can this issue be resolved, once and for all? 

Thank you

Hi Vikas,

Since I'm using a target platform that references p2 update sites only, the only meaningful test for me is when the patch is applied to download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.5. So whenever it's made available there, let me know. Do you know when 4.5.2 will be released?

I appreciate your help

Hi Vincent

Can you check if this fix has solved the issue - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=472778

We are planning to port this in 4.5.2 via bug 480020.

Mars p2 repositories (download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.5 and download.eclipse.org/releases/mars) have 2 versions of several bundles:

org.apache.batik.util_1.6.0.v201011041432
org.apache.batik.util_1.7.0.v201011041433

org.apache.batik.util.gui_1.6.0.v201011041432
org.apache.batik.util.gui_1.7.0.v200903091627

org.apache.batik.css_1.6.0.v201011041432
org.apache.batik.css_1.7.0.v201011041433


Bundles with 1.6.0.v201011041432 version are required by BIRT and GMF and 1.7.0.v201011041433 are required by the Eclipse Platform.

The problem is when a product is launched, only the latest version of the batik plugins is included, which results in plugin validation failures at launch. The only way to address it is to add the plugins manually in the run configuration for the product. This is an unacceptable solution when it comes to building and deploying the feature-based product automatically from p2 sites.

I found a bugzilla article that shows this is not a new issue (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=367187). The article implies the the problem is in the org.eclipe.pde.ui plugin and a patch was supposed to have been applied in 4.5 that fixed this issue. If it has been fixed, can someone provide me an update site for the pde that contains the patch? If not, do you know when it will be fixed and updated?
