Description Bing Xu CLA 2008-09-15 16:46:21 EDT 
Build ID: Eclipse 3.4 -  I20080617-2000

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Install a shared-install Eclipse with p2 installer.
2. Install TPTP using Software Update....
3. Can't start Agent Controller

Investigation found that "IBundleGroup groups[] = provider.getBundleGroups()" in the following code (at the end) does not return anything.

IBundleGroupProvider providers[] = Platform.getBundleGroupProviders();
if (providers.length == 0){
	Bundle b = Platform.getBundle("org.eclipse.update.configurator");
	try{
	    if (b != null)
	    b.start(Bundle.START_TRANSIENT);
        }
	catch (Exception e){
	}
	providers = Platform.getBundleGroupProviders();
}
		
for (int i = 0; i < providers.length; i++) {

IBundleGroupProvider provider = providers[i];
IBundleGroup groups[] = provider.getBundleGroups();
....
}

More information:
If I install Eclipse using Eclipse zip file and then install TPTP through Software Update then it works.

This does seem to be the same as the bug 236709.
Comment 2 John Arthorne CLA 2008-09-15 19:24:34 EDT 
Correct, p2 does not implement IBundleGroupProvider. This is currently only implemented by legacy platform Update Manager, which isn't included in the installer.

As of TPTP 4.6.0, TPTP is in maintenance mode and focusing on improving quality by resolving relevant enhancements/defects and increasing test coverage through test creation, automation, Build Verification Tests (BVTs), and expanded run-time execution. As part of the TPTP Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes), this enhancement/defect is verified/closed by the Project Lead since this originator of this enhancement/defect has an inactive Bugzilla account and considered to be fixed. If this enhancement/defect is still unresolved and reproducible in the latest TPTP release (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/), please re-open.
Comment 4 Paul Slauenwhite CLA 2009-06-30 09:53:27 EDT 
This enhancement/defect was mistaken closed as part of the TPTP 4.6 Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes) since the originator of this enhancement/defect has an inactive Bugzilla account.  If this enhancement/defect is still unresolved and reproducible, please re-open.
