Description of problem: With the default set of Eclipse packages installed -- platform, jdt, cdt, plus dependencies -- trying to load the Eclipse update manager results in warnings about missing features like the following: Error creating feature "file:/usr/share/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.rcp.source_3.2.1.r321_v20060801-clWbqCmjexIWDqg/". [/usr/share/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.rcp.source_3.2.1.r321_v20060801-clWbqCmjexIWDqg/feature.xml (No such file or directory)] Indeed, that file doesn't exist; it comes from the eclipse-rcp-sdk RPM. Installing that made the warnings go away. I didn't check if this made the update manager actually not work, but regardless it's an ugly warning. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): eclipse-platform-3.2.1-4.fc6 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install eclipse from FC6 2. Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install Actual results: Dialogue box with above warning Expected results: No warning

Just to add some extra info, the "find & install updates" option worked fine for me on a *fresh* Fedora Eclipse install; on later attempts I got the same error message. After installing eclipse-rcp-sdk, the updates worked fine, and I was able to install PyDev. However, when I tried to update again later, I got a different error message: Error creating feature "file:/usr/share/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.platform.source_3.2.1.r321_v20060921-MGDh_08KUYM-Bvn/". [/usr/share/eclipse/features/org.eclipse.platform.source_3.2.1.r321_v20060921-MGDh_08KUYM-Bvn/feature.xml (No such file or directory)] This missing file is provided (according to yum) by "eclipse-platform-sdk". I installed this (it pulls in 44MB with dependencies :-/ ), and now everything works perfectly.
