Build ID: I20080327-0100 Steps To Reproduce: 1. Installed Eclipse 3.4 I20080327-0100 2. Installed 3 plugins Alloy4Eclipse/Findbugs/Subclipse fine 3. Tried to update Eclipse SDK from P2 testUpdate site 4. Error message saying that Eclipse cannot be updated 5. Stop eclipse. 6. Start Eclipse: In Help/Software Update, the old update manager is now available, P2 has disappeared. More information: I think the problem is related to the impossibility to update the SDK I met when trying to update I20080327-0100 to I20080328xxx. I guess that some bundles have been silently uninstalled at that time.
I had the same problem, after using p2 to add the CDT and ECF from the Ganymede milestone site to an Eclipse SDK m6 installation. Combined install wouldn't work, so I installed first the CDT and then (after Eclipse restart) the ECF. At this point, p2 was gone and the old Update Manager was available. There was no option to re-enable p2 under Preferences/General/Capabilities.
Were there any errors in the log when this happened?
Created attachment 95010 [details] Eclipse configuration after p2 disappeared from help menu.
Not in my case (which I reproduced today). However, I attach the results of selecting Help / About Eclipse SDK / Configuration details, which shows the configuration immediately after I restarted Eclipse to find the old update manager back again.
I saw this problem when I used the Ganymede staging site to install the ECF features. When I repeated the whole procedure from scratch (SDK download & install, CDT install from Ganymede staging site) but installed the ECF from its new site, http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ecf/2.0/3.4/updateSite/site.xml, it worked without problems and p2 remained installed after Eclipse restart.
Ah, if you install a different version of ECF from the four included in the p2 feature, then the p2 feature will be invalidated. Still, I would expect it to refuse to install the incompatible version in the first place, unless someone is using legacy Update Manager.
I have experienced that myself in the past. My belief here is that the p2 UI is optimized out by the resolver since in the current MD there is no strong dependency on the feature.
Marking as fixed since the real pb has been addressed.
(In reply to comment #8) > Marking as fixed since the real pb has been addressed. > Does this mean that all older, non-P2-compliant update sites, and older plugins, e.g., without feature specifications, will become unusable with a p2-enabled system?
This issue had nothing to do with the ability to connect to old update sites. p2 supports connecting to existing update sites, should there be any issue with this it should be fixed.
I confirm that the bug is fixed. I just downloaded 3.4M6a. I installed exactly the same plugins (A4E, Subclipse, Findbugs). I added the testUpdate site. I updated Eclipse SDK. The update manager found 20080410-1022 and installed it properly. P2 is still available after reboot :) Note that if the right build number shows up at startup on Ganymede splash screen, the build number on the about box is wrong: I20080408-0800 Note also that there is a wrong Eclipse SDK feature on testUpdate: Eclipse SDK SDKI20080408-1636 contains only releng plugin. I guess that testUpdate need to be cleaned.

I added the following Ganymede update site: http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/eclipse/releases/ganymede/site.xml 3. I installed ECF from this site 4. I restarted Eclipse 5. p2 was gone and the old Update Manager was in its place.
Joseph, I added your update site to my update manager and installed ECF 20080211-2042 After rebooting, P2 was still there. Note that I am no longer in 3.4M6a but with IBuild 20080410-1022. I am using Eclipse/GTK 2 under Linux/Mandriva 2008 Spring/Sun JDK 1.6.0_05.

On the bright side, however, P2 was still available after restart. I then tried to use the official ECF update site, http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ecf/2.0/updateSite, to move to a newer version of ECF. This time, p2 reported conflicts with the previous ECF Framework Application installation. When I then tried to uninstall the ECF Framework Application, p2 reported a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and the message: Unexpected error encountered while preparing for the operation. -1 Should I file a separate bug report for this? (I'm running RedHat Enterprise Linux 4.4 with JDK 1.6.0_04)
Joseph, please open another bug. Thx.

The ArrayIndexOutOfBound has been fixed in this week I build.

I'm not entirely sure whether I've seen the same thing as this, but this evening I: * Downloaded the 3.4M6a Equinox P2 Installer * Did a shared install * Installed the Mylyn & Subversive plugins from the http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/staging/ update site And the P2 updater was gone from the help menu, replaced by the old "Software Updates" menu item.
