I just updated my pde build from 3.4 to 3.5 and I amazed how easy pde build (using p2) is now. Kudos to the whole team and a well-earned Feature #1.

Chris – This is definitely a bug, not a result of not following instructions.

The Eclipse team has been aware of this bug since at least RC1, but haven’t fixed it. It isn’t easily reproducible but several people have seen it on different platforms and for different plugins.

It should work Dean. Have you considered trying instructions on the Subclipse page?

Already found a bug with p2:

I’m sure others will run into this too, since subclipse is a widely used plugin.

Holger,
Thanks for the kind words.

Kim,
A lot of the polish around p2 / the publisher / PDE Build integration comes thanks to you and your early adoption. Thanks for making use of the publisher in the platform builds.

Vladimir,

The p2 team would love to hear about problems you are having. If you are trying to upgrade from Eclipse 3.4 to 3.5 using p2, this won’t work. Too much has changed in the past year.

Well, it *would* have been great, if it ever worked. All I got is cryptic error messages and pop-up dialogs about timeouts and unavailablity of repositories. So far, no luck in upgrading

Great series Ian. Very well written and informative. I agree with the choice for the number one feature too, p2 has improved tremendously over the past year.

Thanks Ian, this was a great blog series. I hope you will do the same next year with Helios . This is very helpful for none Eclipse committers or contributors.
