Re: [mpc-dev] Critical Bug in MPC

Markus,

 

Is there a RAP Runtime listing on Marketplace. I can’t seem to find one.

RAP Runtime from the Kepler release (i.e. *not* RAP Tools) is always a good candidate... because the RAP Runtime cannot co-exist with the Platform SWT bundles at all... ;-)

Thanks,
Markus

Pascal,

 

Thank you for this list. It is great that all these plugins install correctly but it seems we need more test cases that actually test the remediation code. Besides JBoss Tools what else can be installed that will test remediation?

 

Here is a list of solutions that have the highest numbers of unsuccessful installs.

 

1             Maven Integration for Eclipse WTP (Incubation)   

2             EGit - Git Team Provider

3             JBoss Tools (Juno)           

4             Maven Integration for Eclipse     

5             Spring Tool Suite (STS) for Eclipse Juno (3.8 + 4.2)

6             Eclipse Visual Editor        

7             Sonar    

8             Android Development Tools for Eclipse   

9             Subversive - SVN Team Provider 

10           JBoss Tools (Indigo)        

11           GitHub Mylyn Connector

12           P4Eclipse            

13           JBoss Developer Studio (Juno)     

14           Spring IDE           

15           eUML2 Studio edition     

16           Spring Tool Suite (STS) for Eclipse Kepler (4.3)       

17           Subclipse            

18           Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.8/4.2

19           Google Plugin for Eclipse 3.7       

20           Spring Tool Suite (STS) for Eclipse Indigo (3.7)

The last time I had tested it was with Eclipse SDK RC1 + a locally built MPC. At that point I had tested the top 5 most used items, and also JRebel and JBoss. For JBoss, I always tried to force the remediation to come up so I started by installing m2e 1.1 from the eclipse Juno repo.

 

Today, I just retested with

http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/I20130526-2000/ + MPC from May 21st and I tried to install the following items from MPC:

- Secure Marketplace Discovery

- Mobile Tools for Java

- Spring Tool Suite for Kepler

- JLoop

- Mylyn

- Windows Azure Tools

- JBoss for Kepler

- DBeaver

- Sapphire

- MintJams

- SVN

- m2e

- ADT

- Eclipse color thene

- Egit

- FindBugs

- Maven for WTP

- PyDev

- JRebel

 

And the only time I saw the remediation was for JBoss since I had forced it to be in this setup by installing an incompatible version of m2e 1.1 before hand.

 

The absence of remediation in these tests reminds me to clarify a few things that I may have not mentioned before:

- the remediation code is *only* used if the installation can not complete as requested.

- the percentage of installation that can not complete as requested (and thus would cause remediation code to be executed) is low in comparison to the total number of successful installs. A couple weeks ago I had counted that this was around ~1% for the top 5 market place entries.
