Description Alex Blewitt

On Windows, I run:

eclipsec.exe -nosplash -consoleLog -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios -installIU org.eclipse.sdk.ide -destination c:\temp\eclipse  -bundlepool -roaming -profile SDKProfile -profileProperties org.eclipse.update.install.features=true c:\temp\eclipse -p2.os win32 -p2.ws win32 -p2.arch x86_64 

This materialises an Eclipse runtime in c:\temp\eclipse, with the configuration set up to run against a 64 bit windows.

If I try to overlay a new version, based on win32, it doesn't work:

eclipsec.exe -nosplash -consoleLog -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios -installIU org.eclipse.sdk.ide -destination c:\temp\eclipse  -bundlepool -roaming -profile SDKProfile -profileProperties org.eclipse.update.install.features=true c:\temp\eclipse -p2.os win32 -p2.ws win32 -p2.arch x86 

Note that the first command downloads org.eclipse.swt_3.6.2.v3659c.jar and org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_64_3.6.2.v3659c.jar, but the second does not download the org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86.3.6.2.v3659c.jar. In other words, it looks like it's seeing that the bundle org.eclipse.swt._3.6.2.v3659c.jar is already installed, and so doesn't bother trying to resolve any fragments. In this case, it kills SWT.

If I run with another profile, it works:

eclipsec.exe -nosplash -consoleLog -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios -installIU org.eclipse.sdk.ide -destination c:\temp\eclipse  -bundlepool -roaming -profile SDKProfile -profileProperties org.eclipse.update.install.features=true c:\temp\eclipse -p2.os win32 -p2.ws win32 -p2.arch x86 

However, there seems to be no reason why they cannot share the same profile, since although multiple profiles are supported, the config.ini only supports a single proflie (And Eclipse only supports a single relative configuration directory)

Even if you install into two different profiles into the same place (e.g. -profile 32BitSDK and -profile 64BitSDK) the configuration\org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator\bundles.info does not get updated properly and only stores the 'first' set of bundles seen.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
