Problem is that Eclipse is unable to create a manifest file.
The message I see is:

End of message.
I would like to upgrade to 3.2 if possible, but the choice is not available
through the update feature.
Thanks
P.S. I have tried this newsgroup for a couple of weeks on this issue with no
resolution.

I don't think you can upgrade directly to 3.2 via the Updater, since 3.2
is still not fully released. You'd probably have to download it
separately and either install it separately or else delete your current
eclipse directory and replace it with the new 3.2 one.

Thanks for that information.
If I understand you correctly, I need to manually update by deleting the
current eclipse directory and replace with the new one. Would I not have
the same problems with the manifest that I mention with the automatic
update to 3.0.1 (the only offering by the update mechanism).

By the very numbers you should see that 3.0=>3.0.1, 3.0=>3.1, and
3.0=>3.2 are quite different levels of complexity. Yes, for getting 3.2
I would recommend starting from an entirely fresh/clean download before
using the Update Manager to get the rest of what you want from the
Callisto projects. That doesn't mean you have to delete the current
directory and replace it... I have no problem with having multiple
versions of Eclipse on my system, even working with the same projects,
as long as I keep the versions in distinctly different locations (both
physically, on the disk, and logically in my own mind!).

I will definetelly consider keeping multiple version as I don't want to
loose the capability I have in 3.0.
I would want to solve the problem with creation of the manifest though,
because without a solution, I am not able to get the version that the
updater find 3.0.1.

Thanks so much for the information you provided.
