Actually, when using the dropins directory to install plug-ins manually in a system-wide installation (let's say, you have Eclipse 3.4.1 installed in /usr/lib/eclipse with root permissions, and install jdt and pde in the dropins dir also with root permissions) then afaik those plug-ins installed there can co-exist peacefully with upgrade versions of plug-ins that are installed in .eclipse through the P2 Update Manager.
So, if you'd have eclipse-platform, jdt en pde installed from the repo, suposing jdt and pde are installed as dropins, then you can update those plugins through the Update Manager without any problem. The updated .jars are just placed in .eclipse. So no problems there. -- Upgrade to Eclipse 3.4.1 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/123064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
