[news.eclipse.dtp] Re: How do I repair eclipse (remove datatools)?

["Brian Fitzpatrick" <brianf@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again...

We're trying to narrow down a reproducible scenario to try and figure out 
what's going on. We've started to collect details here:

http://wiki.eclipse.org/DTP_1.6.2_Update_Manager_Issues

Please let us know if you find out anything else and we'll continue to bang 
on this.

Thanks.
