The Eclipse Update component is no longer under development, and no longer exists in the Eclipse Platform 4.x stream. If this problem still occurs in Eclipse Platform 4.2 or later, please enter a new bug report against Equinox p2. |
In a windows v3.6.2 fresh install to C:\eclipse, the cmd prompt command eclipsec.exe -application org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command listFeatures -from "c:/eclipse" fails with an error of "cannot find configured site:c:/eclipse". The same command works if the drive letter is capitalized "C:/eclipse". This is not expected under windows, where paths are case insensitive. Liviu P.S. Unrelated, and just as a documentation matter, but it's not made too clear in http://help.eclipse.org/helios/topic/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/misc/update_standalone.html that the '-command listFeatures' requires an unqualified local path, and will reject for example "file:C:\eclipse".
