First, there was some old bad habits we, me included, as Eclipse users had prior to Eclipse 3.4. One of the ones that seems to get into the way with Eclipse 3.4 is how we updated Eclipse using the classic updater. When you first try Eclipse 3.4 within the new Equinox P2 Updater avoid the old classic updater habit of checking things out of sequence to install. In other words you go right down the list C++ first, charting second, and etc.
While you may not at this time very adventurous and try to load your old 3rd party folder of plug-ins and do a clean install; you will have a new way to do it with Eclipse 3.5 using the new updater that is pain simple compared to the classic updater. On of the reasons I avoided bug report filing at first was I wanted to verify what the actual trend of bugs were as I knew about the old bad Eclipse habits we as users adapted to limitations prior to Eclipse 3.4.
I am sure that I will find more old bad Eclipse habits that we as users had to develop due to limitations that are no longer of use in Eclipse 3.4 and I am looking forward to getting rid of those habits as well in the near future.
