Oh! wasn't aware of those problems. Hadn't tried "Download and Install", rather was directly unzipping the *deployable.zip. And everything worked fine even with WTP 2.0 (wtp-all-in-one-sdk-win32).
Good that we have discovered "Download and Install" doesn't work with WTP 2.0 and only works with WTP 2.0.1RC1. Thanks Donald for hinting that we don't need to update build.xml and rebuild GEP. I will re-test http://people.apache.org/~mcconne/releases/RC2/g-eclipse-plugin-2.0.0-deployable-RC2.zipusing WTP 2.0.1RC1 and post my results. - Shiva On 9/13/07, Donald Woods <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Understand your frustrations, but the Eclipse levels in build.xml have > nothing > to do with the user runtime levels and don't need to be updated unless we > want > to use newer features/APIs in future Eclipse 3.3.x or WTP 2.0.xreleases.... > > I think we all have learned now not to depend on the major train releases > of > Eclipse, but to wait for the first maintenance release for any expected > plugin > releases.... > > We also need to continue supporting the prior Eclipse level in future > plugin > updates, for any of our ISV and production users, who can't always upgrade > to > the latest Eclipse levels due to other project requirements or tool > dependencies.... > > > -Donald > > Ted Kirby wrote: > > Tim and I have been working hard on getting the "Download and Install" > > function to work to download a server for the eclipse update site and > > install it your machine.
