>             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Build/Releng, updatesite, UpStream
>    Affects Versions: 3.3.0.Beta1
>            Reporter: Nick Boldt
>            Assignee: Nick Boldt
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 3.3.0.CR1

> Steps to reproduce:
> 1. download and unzip Eclipse JEE bundle (SR1 version or newer). The SR1 version includes this jsch plugin:
> {code}
> com.jcraft.jsch_0.1.41.v201101211617.jar
> {code}
> 2. fire up Eclipse, then Window > Prefs > Install/Update > Available Sites > remove everything shown
> 3. Next, add these two sites:
> * http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform_3.3.indigo.SR1-M/latest/ (JBoss Tools latest Target Platform)
> * http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/_composite_/core/trunk/ (JBoss Tools (Core) latest nightly build)
> 4. Click OK. Help > Install New > select the Core Trunk site (or "All Available Sites").
> 5. in the filter field, type "egit" and select the "JBoss Tools EGit Integration" feature. Click Next. Accept license and restart when prompted.
> 6. Now, in your installation, you'll see:
> {code}
> com.jcraft.jsch_0.1.41.v201101211617.jar
> com.jcraft.jsch_0.1.44.v201101211721.jar
> {code}
> Problem here is that there's no way to install com.jcraft.jsch_0.1.44.v201101211721.jar without installing the component that depends on it. Apparently installing the thing you're about to build w/ PDE (despite the fact that we should all be building w/ m2e/Tycho) is bad even though the version you're about to build will be newer and therefore replace the installed one when you launch / install to test it.
