Description Michael Scharf CLA 2006-05-05 12:46:32 EDT
I tried to use the update manager to install Callisto. I use eclipse-SDK-3.2RC2-win32 as target platform. After a while of updating, I get the following error (see below). I was surprised, that the update manager did not recognize that I have JDT and PDE installed, so I disabled it by hand.
After I clicked away the dialog, Callisto was partially installed.

I wanted to install all features into s Callisto extension location. Therefore, I had to select each of the features and select the location. After I restarted the update, I had to follow all the steps of the wizard, including deciding which features I want to install and setting the extension location for each feature. That's very annoying. After a problem, it should simply retry the job I created before, instead of forgetting all the work I have done....

The installer should also be more clever about installed features and not fatally fail, if the feature already exists (as the error messages imply)....

I'm seeing issues similar to these update problems. Callisto is a great idea, so I hope these multiple-source problems are resolved for 3.2:
