Also Subversive gave strange errors on some updates, but still seemed to manage to perform them. To actually get work done, I had to switch back to Eclipse Europa - I'm happy I didn't upgrade without test-driving Ganymede first. I really hope these problems are going to be fixed soon. I hear Ganymede's notably faster than Europa on Windows.

No problems for me so far. I'm using the new Dropins folder. I downloaded oXygen 9.3, unzipped it and dropped it in. When I ran eclipse I got a spinning beachball for abut 15 seconds (I suppose while it detected and registered oXygen as a new plugin) and then everything ran fine. I think I'm just going to start using that mechanism so I don't have deal with the Software Update UI. That should make clean installs less painful. Also using Mac OS X. No problems for me so far.

There will likely be a fix coming in an upcoming release. We may also remove our current dependence on PDE, but that's to be determined.

It happens only sometimes, maybe it has to do something with number of installed plugins at once. Hello,
