Tuscany SCA Eclipse plugin doesn't install correctly
----------------------------------------------------
Key: TUSCANY-3762
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-3762
Project: Tuscany
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Java SCA Tools
Affects Versions: Java-SCA-1.6
Reporter: Simon Nash
Assignee: Simon Nash
Fix For: Java-SCA-1.6.1
When installing the Tuscany SCA Eclipse feature and plugin from the Eclipse
update site, there are a number of problems as follows:
1. The Tuscany SCA Eclipse feature installation isn't compatible with the
current Eclipse software installation and update mechanism in Eclipse 3.4 and
above. This forces a switch to the older Update Manager which requires the
update site information to be re-entered.
2. After the installation completes, the Eclipse installed software window
doesn't have an entry for Tuscany in the Installed Software or Features tabs.
Tuscany is shown only in the Plug-ins tab.
3. It isn't possible to uninstall the Tuscany SCA Eclipse feature. The Tuscany
feature and plugin directories can be deleted from Eclipse manually but this
doesn't remove the Tuscany plug-in from the list of installed plug-ins.
4. The version number of the Tuscany SCA Eclipse feature and plug-in doesn't
conform to Eclipse format conventions which require a timestamp following the
release number.
5. It's not possible to install and test the Tuscany SCA Eclipse feature when
it's built from the trunk or from a release branch because Eclipse can't handle
n.n.n-SNAPSHOT as a version number.
6. The Tuscany SCA Eclipse feature and plug-in don't conform to Eclipse
conventions for displaying copyright and license information when they are
installed.
