Trying out Eclipse 3.4 RC3, thought I'd get GEF using the new update.

Tried about 20 times now. What should a new user do? Get fed up and
try Netbeans?

What kinds of exception? Did you check the error log / logfile?

I share your pain, but didnt try installing GEF. I had problems with the
ganymede release site, so I installed my stuff (EMF/UML/M2T) through the
project specific update sites(installing UML/EMF) - that worked.

Yes, various java.io.FileNotFoundExceptions, java.net.ConnectExceptions...

Whereas I'm able to file bug reports / change update sites / pray to the
Eclipse gods, if this happens to a new user I don't think they will stay
around too long. i.e. a showstopper.

Phillipus,

I ended up installing all my stuff using the new "dropins" folder of
Eclipse. If you do have issues with p2, at least that seems to work well
( http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started#Dropins ).

It seems fairly obvious that this is not a site managed by eclipse.org -
it is a mirror. You should look to see if p2 has any bugs reported about
what happens if a selected mirror is unavailable; if you don't find one,
enter your own to suggest that p2 should proceed to another mirror in
that scenario.
http://bugs.eclipse.org.bugs

As you yourself pointed out, this is pre-release software; the only way
it can get better is for early adopters like yourself to report the
problems they find. The newsgroups are good for discussion, but are not
the mechanism by which to report problems so that they get appropriate
attention.

Yes, that's as maybe. If it is failing this close to a final release,
then I think there is something sereiously wrong with the whole P2
business - ie. half baked. My original post is expressed with the
persona of a new user.
