RE: [wtp-dev] Has anyone tried "download additional server adapters" fea

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

And, this time when it worked ... was
it installed 'dropins'? Or 'features'? Given bug 224441 I would think it
would always be installed in 'features'?

Ok. I must have done something
stupid when running scenario #2 (or p2 is showing its flaky nature again,
which isn't a good thought). I re-ran the second scenario again and this
time it worked.

Here are the results of my testing
(using RC4)...
 
1. Using old-style layout (not
using dropins dir), the adapter is installed and is available for use after
restart.
 
2. Using the basic p2 layout (all
zips except for the platform extracted under the dropins dir), the adapter
is installed ok (it goes into the dropins area), but after restart Eclipse
does not see the new plugins. Restarting again doesn't fix it either. Is
this a known issue? Is anyone else seeing this?
 
I was planning on testing other
more complicated p2 configurations, but since #2 doesn't work, that doesn't
seem to be worth the effort.

Hi Konstantin, 

FWIW, I had tested this function since RC1 and it was working. Since there
have been no bug reports, I can only assume it has been working for others
too. :) 

I tested again (on the same old build) and hit a 'total p2 failure', but
once I moved up to the latest RC4 platform and WTP builds I could use this
function with no problems. Please make sure a bug gets opened if users
are still seeing this, but my guess would be intermittent p2 issues that
have been resolved. 

Thanks,
Tim deBoer

Oh, I meant "how do they install WTP itself". 
There is something about that 'install server adapter' code, that depends
on locating features in 'eclipse/features' (not, for example, 'eclipse/dropins/wtp/features'.
If the user installs wtp in dropins/wtp, then I _think_ that function is
broken .... but, I could be absolutely completely wrong ... it's a vague
memory from talking to Tim about that bug 224441. Might be unrelated, but
I just thought that might be important information to get in a bug report.

I am refering to the feature where wtp code hits a vendor update site,
downloads and installs server adapter. User doesn't do anything themselves.

I haven't ... but, your first question to them should be how installed
... if they unzip into eclipse directory, then never mind ... if they unzip
into dropins folder, then, maybe running into bug 224441

We are getting reports from the field that this is broken (the reports
reference RC1), but I haven’t had a chance to verify that. Perhaps another
p2 casualty? If this functionality is indeed broken, then we have a major
problem on our hands. Will update once I know more.
