Thanks for confirming.


Meanwhile I have an Eclipse 4.1, but trying to install the OTDT into it I'm
stuck at:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be 
found.
  Software being installed: Object Teams Development Tooling (Incubation) 
0.8.0.201104261158 (org.eclipse.objectteams.otdt.feature.group 
0.8.0.201104261158)
  Missing requirement: Object Teams Development Tooling (Incubation) 
0.8.0.201104261158 (org.eclipse.objectteams.otdt.feature.group 
0.8.0.201104261158) requires 'org.eclipse.update.core 0.0.0' but it could not 
be found

I have no idea, how we'd end up with a dependency on org.eclipse.update.core,
but in the metadata the dependency is clearly there. Still dependency analysis
in the IDE gives no clue about what pulled in this dying plug-in.

Any ideas how to avoid this unwanted dependency?
Has anybody else seen it?

The only connection I could see:
- we depend on org.eclipse.pde.core
  - pde.core depends on pde.build
    - pde.build declares an extension to org.eclipse.update.core.featureTypes
      the EP is declared in org.eclipse.update.core
HOWEVER, Eclipse 4.1 seems to contain the same pde.core and pde.build.
How come they're not pulling in update.core??
