| 10 : | Scenario: Updating Eclipse Install Using The Update Manager</h1> | ||
| 11 : | vlad | 1.10 | Last Updated: June 11, 2002 6:05PM |
| 12 : | vlad | 1.1 | <h3> |
| 13 : | Objectives:</h3> | ||
| 14 : | vlad | 1.3 | The objective of these scenarios is to illustrate the Eclipse update manager |
| 15 : | vlad | 1.4 | function through simple end-to-end use cases. The scenarios are divided |
| 16 : | vlad | 1.7 | into two parts. |
| 17 : | vlad | 1.2 | <ul> |
| 18 : | <li> | ||
| 19 : | Part-1 excercises updating of Eclipse itself from a test site containing | ||
| 20 : | Eclipse builds repackaged as downloadable features. The Eclipse feature | ||
| 21 : | structure is a reasonable representation of a non-trivial product. It contains | ||
| 22 : | a primary feature (the platform) and a number of other features ( jdt, | ||
| 23 : | vlad | 1.7 | pde, etc) and is nested.</li> |
| 24 : | vlad | 1.2 | |
| 25 : | <li> | ||
| 26 : | Part-2 uses an example "product" to go through the various steps of updating | ||
| 27 : | and extending it using both the update manager, as well as native installation | ||
| 28 : | (using .zip file containing features and plugins that can be extracted | ||
| 29 : | directly into the file system)</li> | ||
| 30 : | </ul> | ||

| 52 : | vlad | 1.3 | <td><font color="#000000">As part of this scenario you will be downloading |
| 53 : | vlad | 1.1 | and installing various versions of the Eclipse components into the running |
| 54 : | vlad | 1.3 | Eclipse. The update site is populated with features that have their version |
| 55 : | vlad | 1.1 | numbers modified as part of the build process. They are generally of the |
| 56 : | form 2.0.0.QUALIFIER, where the qualifier differs build to build. Note, | ||
| 57 : | vlad | 1.3 | however, that when you install base Eclipse (.zip downloaded from eclipse.org), |
| 58 : | all of its features and plugins only use 3 part version identifiers (generally | ||
| 59 : | 2.0.0). So all the 2.0.0.Q updates in fact appear more recent that the | ||
| 60 : | build you are running, even though they may in fact be an older build. | ||
| 61 : | Note, that when you update the Eclipse components from the update site | ||
| 62 : | and restart you may in fact now be running </font><font color="#FF0000">DIFFERENT | ||
| 63 : | CODE THAN WHAT YOU STARTED WITH</font><font color="#000000">. So it is | ||
| 64 : | vlad | 1.9 | really important that you start each of the test scenario steps with a |
| 65 : | clean install of eclipse. </font><font color="#FF0000">It is suggested | ||
| 66 : | that you always use a second install of Eclipse running with a different | ||
| 67 : | workspace (than what you use to do development) to actually run through | ||
| 68 : | these scenarios.</font> | ||
| 69 : | vlad | 1.1 | <p><font color="#000000">When openning Bugzilla defects, use the platform/update |

| 76 : | Steps:</h3> | ||
| 77 : | |||
| 78 : | <ul> | ||
| 79 : | <li> | ||
| 80 : | Install second copy of Eclipse to run these scenarios ... do not use your | ||

| 89 : | A. Startup new Eclipse</h4> | ||
| 90 : | |||
| 91 : | <ul> | ||
| 92 : | <li> | ||
| 93 : | A.1. startup Eclipse. On the initial startup with new workspace you should | ||
| 94 : | see the splash come up, be taken down down, and come up again before it | ||
| 95 : | is finally taken down before the Workbench appears. This is due to Eclipse | ||
| 96 : | restart when new features are detected on startup.</li> | ||
| 97 : | |||
| 98 : | <li> | ||
| 99 : | vlad | 1.10 | A.2 go to Help> About and click [Feature Details] and [Plugin Details] |
| 100 : | to see more details of what is actually running. Note the baseline version | ||
| 101 : | vlad | 1.8 | of the various items (most will be 2.0.0)</li> |
| 102 : | |||
| 103 : | <li> | ||
| 104 : | A.3. go to Help> Software Updates> Update Manager and verify that the features | ||

| 171 : | the platform plugins). Depending on what the update site contained at that | ||
| 172 : | point (changes build to build) the platform may not even restart, and you | ||
| 173 : | may need to reinstall eclipse to continue. Report defects for this (to | ||

| 262 : | Description:</h3> | ||
| 263 : | The Alphabet Soup is a simple application packaged as an Eclipse product, | ||
| 264 : | plus several extensions. The application installs a tool button, and a | ||
| 265 : | menu ("Alphabet Soup") that can be used to query the content of the "soup | ||
| 266 : | bowl" and interact with the individual installed "letters" (each letter | ||
| 267 : | in the bowl corresponds to a separate plugin) | ||
| 268 : | <ul> | ||
| 269 : | <li> | ||
| 270 : | base product is a nested feature, my.alphabet, containing two sub-features | ||
| 271 : | with base sets of "letters"</li> | ||
| 272 : | |||
| 273 : | <li> | ||
| 274 : | 3 extension features containing additional "letters" (plugins). The features | ||
| 275 : | have a dependency relationship as follows:</li> | ||
| 276 : | |||
| 277 : | <ul> | ||
| 278 : | <li> | ||
| 279 : | "round letters" extension pack requires the base to be installed</li> | ||
| 280 : | |||
| 281 : | <li> | ||
| 282 : | "straight letters" extension pack requires "round letters" extension pack | ||
| 283 : | to be installed</li> | ||
| 284 : | |||
| 285 : | <li> | ||
| 286 : | "numbers" extension pack requires both "round letters" extension pack and | ||
| 287 : | "straight letters" extension pack to be installed</li> | ||
| 288 : | </ul> | ||
| 289 : | </ul> | ||
| 290 : | Just follow the steps and you'll get the idea. | ||
| 291 : | <h3> | ||
| 292 : | Steps:</h3> | ||
| 293 : | |||
| 294 : | <ul> | ||
| 295 : | <li> | ||
| 296 : | Install second copy of Eclipse to run these scenarios ... do not use your | ||
| 297 : | development copy of Eclipse for this.</li> | ||
| 298 : | |||
| 299 : | <li> | ||
| 300 : | either use the default workspace created by the second Eclipse copy, or | ||
| 301 : | specify (-data) a new workspace for these scenarios</li> | ||
| 302 : | </ul> | ||
| 303 : | |||
| 304 : | <h4> | ||
| 305 : | O. Completing the install</h4> | ||
| 306 : | |||
| 307 : | <ul> | ||
| 308 : | <li> | ||

| 310 : | product features from <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-update-home/site/native/my.alphabet_1.0.0.zip">my.alphabet_1.0.0.zip</a> | ||
| 311 : | into the eclipse/ installation directory. The unzip should overwrite the | ||
| 312 : | install.ini file that is packaged with Eclipse (sets the Alphabet Soup | ||
| 313 : | feature as the primary feature). The product feature .zips can be found | ||
| 314 : | in <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-update-home/site/native/">http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/platform-update-home/site/native/</a></li> | ||
| 315 : | |||
| 316 : | <li> | ||
| 317 : | O.2. start eclipse .... after "Completing the install ..." the platform | ||

| 323 : | |||
| 324 : | <li> | ||
| 325 : | O.4. Go to the "Alphabet Soup" menu and verify you can interact with each | ||
| 326 : | letter (one action per letter on the menu)</li> | ||
| 327 : | |||
| 328 : | <li> | ||

| 333 : | and it contains 2 subfeatures (Round and Straight letters)</li> | ||
| 334 : | |||
| 335 : | <li> | ||
| 336 : | O.7. click on each of the features and view more details about each freature</li> | ||
| 337 : | |||
| 338 : | <li> | ||
| 339 : | O.8. select "Alphabet Soup 1.0.0" and press [Disable]. You should be notified | ||
| 340 : | that you cannot disable the primary feature (if this is not the case, [Cancel] | ||
| 341 : | the disable action and report a defect).</li> | ||
| 342 : | </ul> | ||

| 344 : | <h4> | ||
| 345 : | P. Updating the primary feature using update manager</h4> | ||
| 346 : | |||
| 347 : | <ul> | ||

| 351 : | |||
| 352 : | <li> | ||
| 353 : | P.2. Select "Alphabet Soup 1.0.0" ... preview should not show [Update] | ||
| 354 : | button</li> | ||
| 355 : | |||

| 371 : | overlay))</li> | ||
| 372 : | |||
| 373 : | <li> | ||
| 374 : | P.7. click the "Alphabet Soup" tool button ... should show new versions | ||
| 375 : | of the base letters (1.0.1). The actions on "Alphabet Soup" menu should | ||
