I have a JPA implementation using MyEclipse and Hibernate. However, if I install the updates for “Eclipse Rich Client Platform”, it totally hoses up the entire project and I am forced to do a total re-install.

Is this a known problem, and is there a workaround for it?

What version of MyEclipse are you working with ? Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the infromation here for me.

I’ve gotten it to work by creating a creating a new project, adding JPA and copying all the source code over.

My concern is the classic problem, if I don’t know why it failed, I don’t know for sure that I can fix it the next time.

But either way, the fact that updating my installation with the project code from “http://eclipsercp.com/update” would corrupt things at all is disturbing!

Maybe your worskapce got corrupted while updating or you had some plugin that went bad. You can try using the -clean command to fix such issues incase you run into them in the future:-

Clean didnt’ do it, but copying the project code to a new JPA project did. Then I deleted the original project, and renamed the new project back to the original project name. Strange Juju!

I would like to try reproducing this at my end. Can you give me the name of the patch (as it shows up on the updates window under Help > Software Updates).

[Loyal Water]

This is what I just tried:-
1. Create a new Java Project.
2. Add JPA capabilities to it (persistence provider Hibernate)
3. Check the project to see if everything works fine
4. Applying the Eclipse 3.3.1 RCP patch 1,2 and 3.
5. Check if the project runs into issues. It didn’t give me any problems.

Are you referring to any other update ?
