I'm trying to install the ClearCase SCM plugins from: http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/rationalsdp/clearcase/60/update/unix/ into Eclipse 3.6.1 on x86_64. P2 says: Cannot complete the install because some dependencies are not satisfiable com.rational.clearcase.linux.feature.group [7.5.0.v201010151645] cannot be installed in this environment because its filter is not applicable. As a developer this is way too vague to work out what's wrong. If I enable the old UM and try to install with that, I instead get: Rational ClearCase SCM Adapter (7.5.0.v201010151645) platform architecture does not match current environment. Ah ha, I now know (if this is correct) the cause and where to look for the issue. Looking at the feature.xml: features/com.rational.clearcase.linux_7.5.0.v201010151645/feature.xml I see that indeed feature specifies: arch="sparc,x86" I don't see how I could have worked out the problem using p2 alone. Screenshots attached.

Note that in 3.7, it is now possible to hide things that are applicable to the context.

Sure, but I want to install the feature as a result want to know why the feature isn't applicable... In this case it turns out that the feature.xml is just wrong in its arch specification, so finding out why the match failed is invaluable.
