I think this bug manifests in two forms: in the first form, shown in the eclipse bug I just linked, installed plugins don't get installed properly.
I've applied the workaround for that first form, and so I think I saw the bug in its second form: upgraded plugins don't get upgraded properly. I believe this is the same real bug because in both cases, the installed plugin versions don't get seen by eclipse, and in both cases, the workaround is to correct one of its bundles.info files which lists installed plugins. Eclipse has had many issues related to shared Eclipse installs and plugins and updating, and some other issues are still open, so I suspect this is a general Eclipse issue. ** Bug watch added: Eclipse bugs #383846 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=383846 ** Also affects: eclipse-eclipsers via https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=383846 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to eclipse in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1125314 Title: Plugin update does not actually upgrade plugins: Eclipse Scala IDE Status in Eclipse: Unknown Status in “eclipse” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I upgraded the Eclipse Scala IDE plugin (technically, it's a feature) twice using Help->Install new software However, although the Feature version is 2.1.0-m3, the actual plugin versions (where they start with 2.1.0) are still on 2.1.0-m1.
