I installed the M5 version of eclipse SDK, then used /releases/indigo (which contained M5 version of Simultaneous Release) and selected all categories, except for EclipseRT one. After an hour or so, said it was done, and I'd have to restart, but when I tried, I got an error dialog that said ... An error has occurred. See the log file /home/davidw/builds/workspaces/testWorkspace/.metadata/.log. Oddly, there was no (new) error message in .log, though there was in the .../configuration/*.log file. The .metadata/.log message did have several error messages in it, apparently from the "install everything" operations, but not sure how/if the two set of errors are related, so I'll attach both .log file and configuration log. FYI, if relevent, I have been trying similar things on Windows (but never "install everything") so this might be platform specific?

In the course of my testing, I next tried to "install everything" by installing one category at a time (except nothing/never from EclipserRt cateory). The IDE was restarting ok, until the last category: SOA Tools. Via some notes I've seen, some (or all?) of these "stp features" should not be part of Indigo (but .. I am still trying to track that down). This time, after installing this last SOA category, the IDE did not start. First time, did not even pop up a dialog, but was a "hung"? process, or something. So, killed that, and tried to restart. Then got the dialog, and this time did say "see .../configuration/xxx.log". Oddly, there was not much in that! I'll attach both config log and the .metadata/.log which has messages from the many previous "install category" steps. Hopefully someone can spot something in logs that focus attention on worst problem? Or else I guess we'll have to wait till someone else reproduces in more meaningful way? (Again, I was doing this work on Linux ... some of the message in the log sound like something needs some windows filters?)

I suggest you move this bugzilla to rt/equinox/p2. The root NullPointerException appoints p2 as the culprit.
Sure ... is your mouse broken? :) [i.e. I think a committer in p2 could move it there themselves if that's where they thought it belonged].
(In reply to comment #7) > Sure ... is your mouse broken? :) [i.e. I think a committer in p2 could move it > there themselves if that's where they thought it belonged]. I did consider doing that :). But since the problem manifests when installing everything in the train, and since that probably only happens in the context of the train, I felt that you'd be the judge of if a move would be the right thing to do. Perhaps you'd feel it more comfortable keeping this bugzilla as a "train issue" in cross-project and create a new one referencing the NPE in p2 and then add a dependency.
On the Mac, I just installed all of the SOA tooling category and restarted fine, and then I tried Object Team without any problem.
