Re: [pdt-dev] Testing I20080602 in Ubuntu 8.0.4 with no luck
If it's an easily reproduceable thing, please open a bug with the steps you did to both produce the problem, and your workaround. Most of this could be copied from the email thread below. 

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=equinox&component=p2

Thanks,

Thanks both. :)

I finally found the problem. When putting all files in a folder which
named with Chinese characters, the built-in update manager couldn't
work as well as in English one. I think some people who are using
multi-bytes characters may meet the same problem.

Anyway, I'm using the latest version, thank you all. ;)

While having one dropins/*/eclipse/ folder per requirement is highly recommended, it's more work to set up.
If you don't want to get fancy w/ your dropins/ structure, you can just unpack everything into the same dir. 

Either the oldschool way:

/eclipse
    /plugins <-- here
    /features <-- and here
    /dropins <-- none here

or the single dropins/eclipse/ folder way:

/eclipse
    /plugins <-- not here
    /features <-- not here
    /dropins/eclipse/plugins <-- here
    /dropins/eclipse/features <-- and here
Of course, since you're on linux, you can script the unpacking generically:

Hi Finjon,
I think that you are mixing between the eclipse / plugins folders.
You should read this wiki page  :
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started
To see how to reorganize your folders.

The recommended structure is:
/eclipse
    /plugins
    /features
    /dropins
        /wtp
            /eclipse
                /plugins
                /features
        /dtp
            /eclipse
                /plugins
                /features
        .
        .
        .

Hope this helps,

Subject: [pdt-dev] Testing I20080602 in Ubuntu 8.0.4 with no luck

Environments:
1. Ubuntu 8.0.4
2. java-6-sun-1.6.0.06
3. Traditional Chinese
4. All the packages mentioned in
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/release.php?release=I200
80602
dltk-core-sdk-S-1.0RC1-200805211222-incubation.zip
dtp-sdk-1.6M7.zip
emf-runtime-2.4.0M7.zip
GEF-ALL-3.4.0M7.zip
org.eclipse.php_feature-I20080602.zip
wtp-sdk-S-3.0M7-20080506040630.zip
xsd-runtime-2.4.0M7.zip
eclipse-SDK-3.4M7-linux-gtk.tar.gz

Steps:
1. Extract all archives (*.zip) with the following scripts:
  for f in $(find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -name "*.zip"); do
    unzip -qq -o $f
  done
2. move eclipse/ to eclipse_p/
3. Extract eclipse-SDK-3.4M7-linux-gtk.tar.gz to eclipse/
4. Execute eclipse/eclipse
5. Add a update site and point it to the path of eclipse_p/

After a while, it returned the error message:
An internal error occurred during: "Install".
Node path
"org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository/file:\home\kiang\trunk\eclipse_p\plug
ins"
is not valid.

I had also tested with extracting all files to the same path and PDT
wasn't work, too. Before testing both way, I had remove all files
including the hidden ones in workspace folder.
