I currently have an older version of the VTP up and running on Eclipse 3.2.2. 
It is running well and I am very happy with it.

Now I am trying to get the newest version running on Eclipse 3.4.2 using the 
current Subversion baseline. I can get the desktop to run OK but am having 
trouble with the WAR file. When I export the WAR file it appears to export OK 
but it does not contain the 3rd  party plugins like Axis, etc. so the 
deployment fails in Tomcat. I have written a hack to get around this issue, but 
it still concerns me that I may be missing a fundamental point here.

I have traced this down to the 
org.eclipse.vtp.desktop.projects.core.Exporter.java module. The call to 
getBundles() returns a different format now than it did with the previous 
version of the VTP that I have running. In the old VTP it returned:
upd...@../../vtp 
development/org.eclipse.vtp.framework.util/<mailto:upd...@../../vtp%20development/org.eclipse.vtp.framework.util/>

However, the call to getBundles() in the new VTP returns an absolute path 
format of:
reference:file:/C:/Documents and Settings/joht04/My Documents/Projects/VTP3/vtp 
development/org.eclipse.vtp.framework.util/

I can hack my way around this by changing the PlugIn class method install() and 
can successfully get the jar files into the WAR file by doing so. But I feel 
like I am missing a fundamental point here. I'm assuming someone tested this 
and it worked for them. So what am I doing wrong?

Thanks for the help.
