Description Marko Myllynen 2011-06-15 09:11:10 UTC

Description of problem:
Doing "yum install eclipse-subclipse" on RHEL 6.0 installs Eclipse (Galileo) and the eclipse-subclipse SVN plugin. SVN plugin can then be selected, e.g., from Window->Show View->Other...->SVN.

After doing "yum update eclipse*" from RHEL 6.1 repositories, Eclipse is updated (to Helios) but the SVN plugin is not available from Eclipse GUI anymore. The updated packages were:

eclipse-platform
jetty-eclipse
sat4j
eclipse-rcp
icu4j-eclipse
eclipse-swt

Is there a manual workaround available to fix this or should an errata be released for this?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
eclipse-platform-3.6.1-6.13.el6

Comment 4 Marko Myllynen 2011-06-15 11:26:38 UTC

So it would seem that the issue can be fixed simply by installing eclipse-pde. This should be Required by eclipse-subclipse (or perhaps some other component which eclipse-subclipse Requires).

Thanks.

Comment 5 Marko Myllynen 2011-06-15 11:40:00 UTC

Also, after installing eclipse-pde and doing:

$ rm -rf ~/.eclipse ~/workspace
$ eclipse

SVN is not available. But just by restarting eclipse makes it finally available.

Comment 6 Andrew Overholt 2011-06-24 15:30:52 UTC

There's an issue in the p2 metadata for the Eclipse platform that requires one to start Eclipse twice to pick some things up.  See also bug 698415.

Comment 7 Michal Nowak 2011-07-08 10:43:44 UTC

I saw this on 6.0 back than too, so no regression. I'd suggest closing this one as dupe of bug 698415.

Comment 8 RHEL Program Management 2011-07-08 10:58:19 UTC

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for
inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated
in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to
address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to
ask your support representative to propose this request, if
appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux. If you would like it considered as an
exception in the current release, please ask your support
representative.

That is not the same issue as broken eclipse-subclipse after 6.1 upgrade which is fixed only by installing eclipse-pde. After installing eclipse-pde, bug 698415 is relevant.

Comment 10 Michal Nowak 2011-07-08 11:16:00 UTC

OK, then. Bringing back the keyword.
