Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-3558:
-----------------------------------
Yes, there's definitely a version disconnect somewhere. It's not entirely obvious
from the web docs what versions of Eclipse/WTP are prereq'd, since generally you
should be fine with 3.4.x and 3.0.x, respectively. However, in the case of specific bug
fixes, sometimes you need something specific. p2 should be smart enough to do all this
version auditing for you, but, alas...
BTW, the ability to update the Eclipse platform itself via p2 is new, and frankly, not
something I recommend. I'm not convinced that it's 100% perfect yet -- p2 is after
all a 1.0 release, and we all know how 1.0 releases can be. :)
Personally, I prefer to just get a new Eclipse, copy all my .link files from the old
Eclipse into the new Eclipse's dropins/ folder, and update my symlinks (eg.,
~/eclipse/eclipse -> ~/eclipse/eclipse342) so existing shortcuts and application
launcher icons point to the new version. Everything else (WTP, EMF, BIRT, TPTP, etc.) can
be updated via p2, though I recommend a little hack [1] to move everything from the root
folder into your own location so you don't have to reinstall it all when you do a
manual platform update.

$0.02, YMMV.
Missing WTP dependecy for JBossTools if installed over eclipse
platform runtime binary
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBIDE-3558
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3558
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Build/Releng
Affects Versions: 3.0.0.cr1
Environment: Windows Vista Home Premium SP1
JDK 16_u6
Eclipse platform runtime binary (eclipse-platform-3.4.1-win32.zip)
Reporter: Francisco Jose Peredo Noguez
Assignee: Nick Boldt
Fix For: 3.0.0.GA
Attachments: jbosstools-diagnostics-20090115201216.zip, screenshot-1.jpg,

I downloaded the platform runtime binary
(
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.1-200809111700/...)
from
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.1-200809111700/...,
AFAIK it is the minimal eclipse installation that can update itself.
Then I registered the update site for JBoss Tools 3.0.0.cr1
(
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development) and was very surprised to see
that It "apparently" does not require to install the WTP 3.0.x. and I AFAIK it
should be a requirement.
