Update Eclipse FRC tool chain

I tried to update the FRC tool chain in Eclipse and got these errors:

I’m using Eclipse Luna (4.4.1) on Windows 7. Do the 2016 tools work on Luna? Anyone else having issues?

I notice those packages are mostly Eclipse/osgi packages so I will try updating to Mars. But I thought the docs said Luna was OK.

I successfully upgraded to Eclipse Mars. Plus installed a fresh Eclipse Mars on Ubuntu. Both did fine with 2016 FRC tools. Not sure what happened to my Windows 7 Eclipse Luna, but I use it for work and it has lots of stuff in it.

I had Luna on a MacBook Pro running the FRC 2015 Plugins. I upgraded the FRC Plugins to the 2016 versions. Upon restart, Luna was DOA. Luna would not startup at all. Only a popup window would appear: “Eclipse Luna quit unexpectedly.”

I tried to clean out all references to FRC plugins from all Eclipse configuration files. No success.

Fortunately, my repository was not harmed. I made a copy of my repository to use with Mars.

I was able to install Mars and it upgraded that copy of my repository. Work’s like a charm.

Did I miss a warning somewhere? If the 2016 FRC Plugins are fatal to Luna, somehow you should be warned or the upgrade should be prevented.
