Description Meng Xin Zhu CLA 2011-08-14 22:56:05 EDT 
Cloned from: 353348: Install/import from existing installation fails to produce expected choices when 3.6 is the source for tracking the fix in 3.7 maintenance branch
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=353348

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.
