Cannot update form 4.3.3 to 4.4

[rlogiacco]

Looks like I cannot update from 4.3.3 due to a Sloeber 4.4 dependency which seems no more available, specifically ECF Filetransfer Feature 3.14.1703: I have ECF Filetransfer Feature 3.14.1400 and only 5.0 and 5.1 seem available for download...

Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

Seems this is defined in the product.
On my system I see there is no version info given but when I double click on

I get

I am updating my development environment and I hope that version increases
Don't know what else I can do

[jantje]

After the upgrade I get a newer version

but no git files have been changed so IMHO the server build should be exactly the same
So I do not know how this works :-(
But given it is in the product .... I can remove it :-)

@wimjongman
I see org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer is referenced in the first version of arduino.product

arduino-eclipse-plugin/io.sloeber.product/arduino.product

Line 312 in 7edc7e9

<feature id="org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer.feature" installMode="root"/>

Do you know if this is needed?
Can you explain the problem @rlogiacco is experiencing?
Do you know how to fix it?

ECF (Eclipse Communication Framework) is the backbone of all communications in Eclipse. It is needed, e.g., for updating software.

Roberto, you must have another item in your installation that requires this older version of ECF. Did you install Sloeber into an existing Eclipse or are you running the 4.3.3 product?

[wimjongman]

I downloaded Sloeber 4.3.3 and started it. Then I did a "check for updates" and I could install 4.4. without issues. After restarting, I ran into some other issues [1] but not this specific one.

Closing. Please reopen if you can reproduce the issue on a fresh 4.3.3.
