Dear Maintainer,

I am following https://wiki.eclipse.org/XSLT_Project/UserGuide/Launching which
may somehow be wrong. After restarting Eclipse, in the Package Explorer if I
right-click an XSL file (or also select an XML file, and right-click either)
then Run As offers no interesting options, and leads me to the Run
Configurations menu which also has nothing relating to XML or XSL. Ought I
have installed some other processor or somesuch to activate these options?
It would be great to be able to run and debug style sheets.

Cheers,

Mark

Eclipse noticed that updates were available. I let it go ahead and do
some updates, whereupon the XML stuff all appeared in the menus and my
Maven stuff disappeared! (The standard m2e connector.) I've not figured
this one out yet, but at least I have the workaround of doing XML stuff
in Eclipse and Maven stuff in Netbeans.

Cheers,
Mark

I think you hit a common issue with Eclipse. The update mechanism
provided by Eclipse is not really compatible with Debian's packaging
system. Often it just works but sometimes you will experience weird bugs
due to incompatible versions. The only way to debug such a problem is to
deinstall all downloaded Eclipse plugins. If you still see the same bug
while only Debian packages are installed, then this is a Debian specific
bug or something we can forward upstream. Otherwise there is no way for
us to fix this issue because we have no control over the downloaded plugins.

I understand that this might not be a satisfactory answer but the only
way to avoid such bugs is to disable Eclipse's way of updating plugins
and to use the provided Debian packages whenever possible.

Regards,

Markus

plugins directory in ~/.eclipse and anything related to m2e, then
reinstalled the maven add-on, and now I can see the XML stuff and the
Maven stuff both in Eclipse's UI! I guess I'd request Debian packaging
of the m2e Eclipse stuff so I don't have to touch the non-Debian add-on
sites at all but overall I am now much happier and I appreciate your
help. I'll try to avoid non-Debian offered updates in future and use the
add-on sites only when necessary.
