Error message:

 [ERROR] Cannot resolve project dependencies:

Problem Analysis and solution:

This happens when we have nested features, in this case we have the following features nested. org.eclipse.equinox.server.p2 org.eclipse.equinox.serverside.sdk org.eclipse.equinox.server.p2 org.eclipse.equinox.sdk In the above case org.eclipse.equinox.server.p2 got modified and other feature did not recognize that. This causes comparator to replace other three features with baseline and causing above problem. Can be rectified by updating forceQualifierUpdate.txt file present alongside those features. Also raised Bug 537718 against Tycho to address this

Problem Analysis and solution:

We use an eclipse instance for generating different build reports. This instance is created by adding org.eclipse.pde.api.tools, org.eclipse.releng.build.tools.feature.feature.group, org.apache.derby.core.feature.feature.group and org.eclipse.wtp.releng.tools.feature.feature.group to eclipse platform product. If you see the above error message it implies that one of the above feature requires higher version of eclipse platform product. This errors happens because the p2director cannot upgrade through commandline. This can be fixed by changing the base dir and base label here
