Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Can not upgrade from one RC to another?

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

cross-project is always a good forum (since you'll be politely corrected 
if there's a better one :) 

But, I'm not sure what this specific issue is about. I have seen cases 
where it seemed I 
had to start fresh, and that one "milestone" could not upgrade to the 
next. But I would 
have thought those had been fixed by now. Are you starting with Java EE 
IDE for RC1 and 
then wanting to update to RC2? For RC2, which update site are you 
"pointing at"? 
I just update 'staging' about an hour ago so it'd have the most recent 
platform. 
(But had to remove eclipselink, reina, and emf-teneo to get a clean 
build). 

I'm hoping some experts here can more readily spot the issue.

David,

I'm not certain if this is the correct forum, or that the issue is not 
user error on my part...

- I had previously installed the M7 zip. I had successfully installed 
EclipseLink JPA which has a dependency upon a org.eclipse.osgi bundle 
(version unspecified)
- RC1 is now out, and I'd tried to verify my submission. I was forced to 
upgrade everything from RC1, but it finished. - no big deal I thought.
- Now I'm readying my RC2 submission, and am finding my Galileo install 
is stuck. It cannot install, nor can it uninstall.
I'm getting errors about missing org.eclipse.osgi (looks like it cannot 
find a specific version),

I tried specifically installing equinox to force getting it, and the 
attached image is the result.

I'm certain my install is messed up, but am wondering if the jee package 
has a specific version dependency on org.eclipse.osgi

Thanks,

-Eric
