Michael Waldvogel commented on HBX-734:
---------------------------------------

Help->Software Updates->Manage Configuration
When I have a look at the entry "Hibernate Tools 3.2beta7" then there is a red cross attached to the Icon left.
By having a look on Properties->Status you will get the list of missing plugins.

Please consider the following:
a) Make a fresh install WITHOUT WTP 1.5
or
b) Install WTP 1.5 but install Hibernate Tools to a differen Eclipse Extension Point
In both cases the missing plugins will be reported.

When you have installed WTP 1.5 in the same folder as Hibernate Tools (by just copying everything together to one folder as most users do), Eclipse is not capable to assign the plugins to the installed components and cannot determine that in reality reported plugins are missing and NOT belonging to Hibernate Tools 3.2beta7. This might the reason why you probably don't see that bug.

I splitted up the directories for various plugins, that I faster can switch between the versions WITHOUT decompressing the whole Eclipse new .... [And I admit I don't use Update Manager because I don't want to download the huge packages on every computer again ....]

> In the feature.xml description for the Eclipse IDE there are two plugins, which are referenced but contained in the package. These are :
> org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.ui
> org.eclipse.wst.validation.ui
> I don't know if they are actually necessary for the package to work or not, but Eclipse Software Manager reports these missing plugins. As a workaround with installed WTP 1.5 I just removed the declarations and instead add requirements like :
> 	<import plugin="org.eclipse.wst.validation.ui" version="1.1.0" match="greaterOrEqual"/>
> 	<import plugin="org.eclipse.wst.common.frameworks.ui" version="1.1.0" match="greaterOrEqual"/>
