I got these messages in Update Manager: "Help->Software Updates->Find and
install->Search for new features to install->New Archived Site..." and select
downloaded master.zip. Now if you select features, the button "Error Details..."
brings new dialog with error description, which i posted here...

Thank You for detailed description!
This is exactly what i'm doing, but an error message appears if i select "CDT
Main Features->Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools 5.0.0...":

Requested operation cannot be performed because it would invalidate the current
configuration. See details for more information.
  Eclipse C/C++ Development Tools (5.0.0.200804281107) requires feature
"org.eclipse.cdt.platform (5.0.0.qualifier)", or compatible.
  CDT GNU Toolchain Build Support (5.0.0.200804281107) requires feature
"org.eclipse.cdt.platform (5.0.0.qualifier)", or compatible.
  CDT GNU Toolchain Debug Support (5.0.0.200804281107) requires feature
"org.eclipse.cdt.platform (5.0.0.qualifier)", or compatible.

If i unselect it, the selected feature "CDT Optional Features-> Eclipse C/C++
GDB Hardware Debugging 5.0.0..." brings error:

Requested operation cannot be performed because it would invalidate the current
configuration. See details for more information.
  Eclipse C/C++ GDB Hardware Debugging (5.0.0.200804281107) requires feature

I need "GDB Hardware Debugging", any idea?

I have Eclipse 3.4M5, because with 3.4M6 and p2 there are problems with "links"
folder, so old plugins are not working. I will try 3.4M6a when i understand the
new p2 and dropins idea...
