I have updated the 20020116 driver with a new install.txt and
the todo.txt in the proper place. Here is the new section I
added to install.txt:
<snip>
Upgrading
----------
If you have a previous version of the CDT installed, you should remove it
before
installing the 20020116 driver. To do this, remove the CDT plugins from
your
eclipse/plugins directory if you are sure that you have not installed any
other
plugins whose names begin with "com.ibm".
rm -rf <some_dir>/eclipse/plugins/com.ibm*
If you have installed some other plugins whose names may also start with
"com.ibm", or if you are not sure, then only delete the following plugins:
com.ibm.cpp.docs.user
com.ibm.cpp.miners
com.ibm.cpp.miners.parser
com.ibm.cpp.ui
com.ibm.debug
com.ibm.debug.doc.user
com.ibm.debug.gdbPicl
com.ibm.dstore.core
com.ibm.dstore.extra
com.ibm.dstore.extra.server
com.ibm.dstore.hosts
com.ibm.dstore.miners
com.ibm.dstore.ui
com.ibm.linux.help
com.ibm.lpex
We will be providing an installer that will take care of this for you in
future
releases.
NOTE:
Since eclipse persists UI information, and fields or view names may have
changed,
it may be necessary to remove the metadata for the CDT plugins. If you find
some runtime exceptions from one of the above plugins, or plugins not being
loaded try the following:
1. From a shell, navigate to where you invoke eclipse from.
2. There should be a ".metadata" or "workspace" directory there.
3. Navigate down to the workspace/.metadata/.plugins directory.
4. Remove any directories that match the plugin names above.
If after trying this and restarting eclipse, the problems still exist,
You can try removing the entire ".metadata" directory. If the problems
still exist then open a bug at http://bugs.eclipse.org
</snip>

That rm -rf statement is kind of dangerous if you dropped the cdt onto WSAD or
if there were any other com.ibm plugins that aren't part of the cdt. Could you
just add a list of the relevant plugin directories instead. Even better just
create a lil script that removes the "specific" cdt plugins.

Hi Peter...I guess you stopped reading at the "rm -rf" command ;-) 2 lines
below that is the list of plugin directories, that you ask for. We should have
the installer ready to go very shortly, so that will make the removing happen
automagically.

That's an example of what happens when a developer writes user documentation ;-)
I was assuming that that someone reading that section would read the whole
section before running any commands...pretty weak assumption considering that
when working with other products I just quickly scan readme's and install.txt's
looking for what commands I need to run ;-)
I'll fix that up, so that it's more obvious...
On another note, I am implementing a "stand-alone" installer that doesn't do
much more than remove existing CDT plugins and unzip the new ones (Actually
there's more sophisticated part to it that lets you navigate to a remote
machine, ftp the server piece there, unzip the server piece and run it...but
that's still just prototyped). Anyway I'm doing this since it looks like the
Update support in Eclipse V1 has changed dramatically for V2.
I notice Peter that you have been pretty active on the mailing list for the
Eclipse Update component. Do you have a feel for when the Eclipse V2 Update
support will be relatively stable? In particular, are the many changes you
suggested, such as using the Native Installers going to be put in the builds?
If so, I'll probably wait until the Update support is closer to stable before
spending time integrating with it.
Thanks...

I know that officially you do not support it, but PLEASE remmeber that
not all Linux users use RPM. I am a Debian user, and WSAD does install
using Alien (which converts RPMs into DEBs), but I have to do that
conversion manually. So if you start using RPM under the covers I am
going to be completely stuffed (to use a technical term). Maybe this
needs to be configurable, and maybe you could look at providing other
file formats?
