[dsdp-tm-dev] Re: RCP status

[Martin Oberhuber <martin.oberhuber@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Uday,

Thanks for the info. I agree that PluginTransfer should be the preferred
method -- for the next release we're going to file bugs also against
Platform / Common Navigator, Project Explorer to support PluginTransfer.

For the 2.0RC2 tag - we're not tagging the entire repository for 
milestones, we're only tagging the Mapfiles (in the 
org.eclipse.rse.build project). So I'd recommend you just get HEAD,
it's not going to change much until we release 2.0 (which will have
a tag on the entire repository again).

If you want 2.0RC2 exactly, you need to
  * Sync the Mapfile project to 2.0RC2
  * Get the Releng.Tools plugin from the Eclipse platform Download Page
  * Create a project 'org.eclipse.releng' with a linked resource folder
    'maps' pointing to org.eclipse.rse.build/maps
  * Select all projects, Team -> Replace with released

Or, you just get the RSE-SDK-2.0RC2 download and import the plugins
and features from the target platform (then you work on the sources
that we ship as part of our SDK).

Cheers
Martin
