Lincoln,<br>
are you one of those lucky guys who don't have to hassle regularly
with incompatible plugins in Eclipse? <br>
Just a hint: <br>
- I tried to install JBoss Tools 32bit into classic Eclipse
32bit on Win7 - it failed in the middle of installing ???<br>
- SVN: there are two prominent plugins, incompatible, one
looking half way like the other but handling is very different in
the hard cases, PITA from start to end, I see myself reverting
regularly to the command line <br>
- for some time recently I couldn't update my m2e plugin because
it carried a dependency to a something in version 1.1 which was not
released yet ???<br>
<br>
Have a look at the different flavors Eclipse IDE bundles - to me the
main reason for those is: plug-in (inter-) dependencies and plug-in
management.<br>
I don't want to complain, but to me these are the everyday problems
I face _after_ I told my boss that the fix xxx will only take an
hour :-/ (The fix itself may take 5 minutes, the rest of the day it
will take to get the infrastructure of the project up and running
again.)<br>
<br>
And then we are programmers open for the newest, latest, greatest.
And of course any author of a plugin would want his customers to
pick up the new functionality ASAP. <br>
So I think one core features is a stable, manageable plugin life
cycle.<br>

Well said Thomas - I am a great "dumb user" and plug-in
dependencies drive me nuts.<br>

What do you mean by plug-in dependencies? What drives you
nuts?<br>
