By looking at the "About Eclipse > Installion Details > Configuration " ? Or something else ? What error message ?
When I was still seeing it, it arose when Eclipse wouldn't let me install the AS 2.3.0 deployment descriptor editor because the 2.3.0 runtime wasn't present. The message appeared in one of the dialogs that is part of the "install new software" process in Eclipse. I didn't make a note of the exact message, and frankly, now that I understand a little better how Eclipse tracks what is installed, I'm inclined to think that I caused the problem when I deleted the 2.3.0 SDK plugins from the plugins subdir without cleaning up the various XML files where their presence was recorded.
I wanted to try out the 2.3.1 SDK plugins, and I think I was still pointing at the incubating update site, so I couldn't update to the 2.3.1 plugins through the usual update mechanism. I removed the plugins from the Eclipse plugins subdir by hand and copied the 2.3.1 plugins there from my 2.3.1 uimaj install, thinking Eclipse would just do the right thing, as it ostensibly does when you copy plugins into the plugins subdir. Then I tried to use the update site to get the 2.3.0 AS plugin, and that failed, but not for the reason I thought at the time. I now think it failed because I had removed the plugins but not their entries in the various config files, e.g.
./configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/*/*/*/content.xml ./configuration/org.eclipse.update/platform.xml ./artifacts.xmlNow that I'm using the correct UIMA update site, and now that I cleaned out the UIMA component entries from the config files & started fresh, it works.
Now everybody can benefit from my mistakes :-) Thanks, Chuck

My intent is to implement AS soon, so I'm thinking that I'd be better off reverting to the 2.3.0 SDK & plugins so that I can use the deployment descriptor editor. Any recommendations? Any work-arounds?
