Mac OS X (10.6), Eclipse Indigo (3.7) 64-bit When I select File > Import > Install > From Existing Installation and then select a 3.6 64-bit installation as the source to install from, the only choice offered in the list of items to install is "Eclipse SDK" even though there are lots of other features installed into that 3.6 location. If I select any of a number of other 3.5 and 3.4 installations I have, I see a more complete list of choices. The 3.6 installation I have started out as a "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" but I've installed numerous eclipse.org and third-party features into it over time. I expected to see the additional features/plugins available to install into my 3.7 This has been reported on the forums by at least 1 other person.
Could you check the value of key 'eclipse.p2.profile' in configuration/config.ini of your 3.6 installation? Assuming the value is 'SDKProfile', could you attach the latest .gz file from <eclipse install location>/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/SDKProfile.profile/? If the default profile name is not 'SDKProfile', use the real name to replace it in above location.
I have the same issue on W7 with a previous install of Eclipse Helios JEE 32bits. I uploaded the file you requested here: http://www.2shared.com/file/CQTjXwnS/epppackagejeeprofile.html (my profile name was “epp.package.jee”)
Created attachment 201077 [details] p2 profile My config.ini value is eclipse.p2.profile=epp.package.jee I've attached the most recent .gz as requested above (dated Jul 12, 2011 on my machine).
There is a workaround to modify your original Eclipse to make it work again, 1. check the value of property 'eclipse.p2.profile' from <your original eclipse loc>/configuration/config.ini. Here assuming the value is 'epp.package.jee' 2. Then go to directory <your original eclipse install location>/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/, remove all directories except 'epp.package.jee.profile'. Technically those profile data never are used by your eclipse, they were created by release process. Anyway pls backup those directories before removing it to avoid damaging your eclipse. 3. Retry 'Install From Installation' in Eclipse 3.7
released in HEAD
Thank you for the workaround, worked perfectly!
Since this was an "advertised" feature of 3.7 and the Java EE IDE package is by-far the most popular 3.6 package, I think the fix needs to be applied to the 3.7 branch and made available in the Indigo SR1 release.
