[cdt-dev] Zip installs

[Douglas Schaefer <dschaefe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey gang,

I remember a while ago we had trouble with unzipping the CDT into existing 
eclipse installs.  There would be an error saying that a number of 
features require the org.eclipse.cdt plugin.

Well, we're seeing that again with the 1.2 zips.  From what I can tell, 
when eclipse detects new features in an existing install, it initializes 
them alphabetically by the directory names.  Since org.eclipse.cdt is last 
with all the other features, it isn't getting initialized before the 
features that depend on it.

Did we have a workaround for this last release?  Selecting cancel used to 
be work, but now eclipse just disables the feature until you remove it. 
The update site works fine, even if you install all the features at once.
