To get the current contents, I opened the Preferences for Install/Update and used 'Test Connection' on each of the relevant sites. Is there a better way to assure that p2 is using the current contents of an update site?Johnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10743270318149221614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827550495666916022.post-31761344925312837322009-09-02T02:52:50.374-07:002009-09-02T02:52:50.374-07:00Hi John,

If you choose TMF Xtext from there, you'll anything you need in a clean Eclipse environment. However, if you had 0.7.1 or 0.7.0 installed, you'll need to tick mwe and xpand as well, as the udpate manager fails when resolving the required updates.<br /><br />Regards,<br />SebastianSebastian Zarnekowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05886096380926364322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4827550495666916022.post-87051280902805188522009-09-01T23:33:44.123-07:002009-09-01T23:33:44.123-07:00john, there's also my collection of update sites:
