[Bug 455911] Re: The artifact file for osgi.bundle, org.eclipse.pde, 3.4.100.v20090527 was not found

[Oded Arbel]

Well, there is the problem - a person may not know that they must
install eclipse-pdt (or the full eclipse package) when they want to use
the JDT with some external plugin (let's say, mylyn for example, which
is not provided by Ubuntu).

Use case:
1. The user wants to use just Eclipse JDT with Mylyn and maybe Subversive, 
2. The user installs eclipse-jdt (she doesn't know what eclipse-pdt does and rather wants to avoid installing redundant stuff on her small netbook).
3. The user then goes and ads the Mylyn update site as per the instructions on Mylyn site
4. The user selects to install the Mylyn plugins and presses Next.

The result - an obscure error message.

As installing plugins is an accepted use of Eclipse, there should either
be a more understandable error message (this is probably out of scope of
Ubuntu developers, I believe), or the eclipse-jdt package should enforce
installing eclipse-pdt somehow
