Description Jan Schulz CLA 2003-07-10 14:42:58 EDT 
I have two 'sites', one of them linked in by the links/xyz.links feature, one 
added by the patch in Bug:#36101. Both don't show up if I want to instrall a new 
plugin by the "Install Now" wizard. Only the site in /usr/share/eclipse is 
visible there.

System: debian eclipse packages 2.1.1-2 (Not in debian/unstable, but just being 
made here)

Nice greetings, Jan

It appears that the old update code had a policy of not allowing installing 
new features to a linked product extension.
I will change this to allow installing new features, as long as the link is 
read/write. If a product extension is not meant to receive new features (other 
than updates or collocated features), the link should be made read only when 
created:
path=r /home/foo/product/extension

I fixed the bug but only tested on Windows XP, as I did not have a linux box 
available. I will test it on linux soon, but give it a try in the next build.

Thanks a lot! I'm not sure if the 'r ' bit is documented somewhere. I found it 
in the code, but not everyone is looking there.
