Ok, what I mean - is say that I manually install the WST bundle into
the /usr/share/eclipse area; the files packaged in this bundling is
going to be installed so I have no idea if any if the files that is
pre-existing is going to be overwritten - so in this case I am ASSUMING
that this was all figured out beforehand and is OK.  This is is also
ASSUMING that the FC port does not have any files there that *might*
get blown away - the end result is a broken or fluttering eclipse
installation.

The way I discovered this, was that I completely removed the
eclipse files (using yum groupremove) and manual forced deletions
in attempts to remove eclipse - followed by a yum update and only
two files were downloaded and installed directly from jpackage:

1) eclipse-rcp-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.12
2) eclipse-jdt-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.12

What I do recall - is that without the rest of the "support files"
in place - everything just went to heck.  SO - that is why I made
the decision to "start over clean" and could NOT do it any other
way except to use the groupremove/groupinstall. All other attempts
to use yum resulted with these two files - the rest from FC/redhat
just would not be included.

Once I got the other files installed - I was able to get back my
virgin eclipse package and it all runs now sans deep testing.

The following is my current list:

eclipse-bugzilla-0.1.0_fc-16
(u) eclipse-cdt-3.0.0_fc-1.FC4
eclipse-changelog-2.0.1_fc-21
(u) eclipse-ecj-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.12
(u) eclipse-jdt-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.12
eclipse-pydev-0.9.3_fc-7
(u) eclipse-platform-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.12
(n) eclipse-rcp-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.12

The following are the rpms in the fc4 distro directory,
so you can see the changes yourself when jpackage is
involved:

eclipse-bugzilla-0.1.0_fc-16.i386.rpm
eclipse-cdt-3.0.0_fc-0.M6.7.i386.rpm
eclipse-changelog-2.0.1_fc-21.i386.rpm
eclipse-ecj-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.22.i386.rpm
eclipse-jdt-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.22.i386.rpm
(d) eclipse-jdt-devel-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.22.i386.rpm
(d) eclipse-pde-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.22.i386.rpm
(d) eclipse-pde-devel-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.22.i386.rpm
(d) eclipse-platform-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.22.i386.rpm
(d) eclipse-platform-devel-3.1.0_fc-0.M6.22.i386.rpm
eclipse-pydev-0.9.3_fc-7.i386.rpm

Legend: (u) - Updated
        (n) - New
        (d) - Deleted 
        (?) - Not clear

Kind regards,
Dan
