HELP! HELP! How to find correct JAR for Installation Manager


St Clair Clarke (662618) | asked Oct 13 '08, 10:52 p.m.
Hello experts,
I am spawning the current ganymede release using the IBM Launcher. However, after directing it to the eclipse to be spawned, the next wizard page generated the following error:

Some features and bundles of your existing Eclipse installation need to be upgraded with newer versions or are missing. You must update your existing Eclipse using its Install/Update manager. Use its "Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install..." menu item to invoke its Install/Update manager. Alternatively, you can download the features and bundles from eclipse.org.


The details view of the error has the following bundles that require updating:

Bundle "org.apache.commons.httpclient_1.0.0.1" needs to be updated to version "3.0.0"
Bundle "org.jivesoftware.smack_2.2.1" needs to be updated to version "3.0.4"

I found the following jars on the web and dropped them in the eclipse plugin directory, but the same errors persist.

QUESTION:
How, if it is at all possible, do I use the update manager to update a single jar without knowing to which package this jar belongs.

Thanks for your help.

Attention everyone,
Please ignore this post. The answer was provided by Andrew Hoo at my previous post at https://jazz.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=2401. I posted this when it seems no help was coming for my initial post.

I appreciate Andrew's help a lot.
