[cross-project-issues-dev] Callisto staging Update Site ready for testin

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The good news: there is an update site
to point to

http://download.eclipse.org/callisto/staging/

I personally install (test) starting
with only a minimum "Platform Runtime Binary" (30 meg zip). 
Then you have to "manuall"
define the remote update site using the URL of 
http://download.eclipse.org/callisto/staging/


But, bad news is, either I've gotten
mixed up on some EMF M5 versions, or ... that was so long ago for them
:)  they've deleted some of the jars already!? 
(If the latter, perhaps we haven't been
clear, or perhaps we all have all not agreed, that the project supplied
update sites need to "stick around" .... just like their zipped
milestone downloads would). 

So, for that, I've create bug 
130505  M5 Update pre-reqs seem
gone?
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=130505

But, if you just install EMF from somewhere
else, you can make more progress and run into more interesing problems.


the most interesting is 

130497 Callisto update site says "can't
find jdt.apt" while installing CDT
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=130497
(A packaging issue? Or a new JRE version
issue?)

Next most interesting

130502  no capabiliites if just
"runtimes" installed
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=130502


And, least interesting ... 

130506 gmf update needs org.eclipse.emf.ocl_1.0.0.jar
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=130506

Well, this latter may indicate a planning
hole in the Technolodgy Project Chain of Callisto ... which, I guess 
some would find the MOST interesting!



I'm sure there's many many more waiting
for you to find. 

I have (tried) go give all committers
write access to that staging directory ... so, if any of you can fix any
of the above problems, 
(e.g. if I just missed a copy of some
jar) ... then feel free ... but, please, keep us all informed by a post
here. 

We'll improve write/update process as
we go.
