Rockwalrus' comment about not being to update plugins using the package manager is incorrect (at least for the latest Eclipse release).
I was able to download Ganymede SR1, install it into /opt, run it as a normal user, and update plugins (but not the core Platform). The plugins went into my ~/.eclipse directory and were used instead of the global ones. This means we could package a core Platform-only version, or a version with a core set of plugins, and the user could update everything other than the Platform themselves, without needing root access. -- 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
