Anyone success installing Subclipe in Eclipse 3.4?

[Jens Seidel]

Hi,

it seems Eclipse SDK 3.4 still needs a lot of work. I tried different
versions and all seem to be very, very problematic:

Trying installing SVNKit from http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.4.x
in eclipse-SDK-3.4M6a-linux-gtk-x86_64 results in

java.io.FileNotFoundException: /home/jens/local/share/eclipse/plugins/org.tmatesoft.svnkit_1.2.0.4237/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
(file or directory not found)
        at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)

(yes, I started eclipse with -clean and a new workspace). The update dialog in
this version is very ugly, as one has no checkboxes to specify plugins, these
have to be marked.

Eclipse 3.4M7 doesn't allow opening the update dialog at all (bug #230245).
The last daily snapshot terminates during start up because not all libraries
can be found.
I haven't tried Subclipse with M6 but remember really many error warnings
poping up every few seconds. This is now fixed but as more recent versions are
not usable ...

It nevertheless works with 3.3.2.

I really wonder how Subclipse can be tested with 3.4 ...

If you have a working 3.3.2 installation, take the feature and plugins
from there and copy them into the dropins folder with a structure like this:

eclipse
   dropins
     eclipse
       features
       plugins

Restart eclipse and you should see subclipse enabled (no need for -clean
the dropins is rescanned at each start). This works with subclipse 1.2,
don't know with 1.4 but I don't see why it shouldn't work.

Bye

I installed it from the CollabNet site into M7 yesterday.  I just
tried to add SVNKit from the Subclipse site and couldn't.  However, I
get a completely different warning then you do.  It looks like one of
those old "Your configuration is not valid so I am not going to let
you install anything" messages.

How? Using the Software Updates dialog? I assumed it doesn't open for
everyone and didn't even try to report it. Maybe bug #230245 isn't
responsible for my problem but is just another bug?

I used eclipse-SDK-3.4M7-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz.

If I remember correctly I got a similar message trying to open the
Update dialog and assumed it's just related the last real error in
the log.
This would be a platform specific (not a SVNKit) problem, right?

I am on OSX and this is a new install and workspace.  Yes, I used the
dialog.  My colleague did as well.

The error message I was getting had nothing to do with SVNKit.  If you
can install it into 3.3.x then I would say the update site is correct.

So I just took untarred my download to make a new 3.4 M7 install.
Opened the Software Updates dialog, entered the Subclipse update site
URL and was able to install Subclipse and SVNKit without any errors or
problems.
