Bruno Melloni updated GERONIMO-3095:
------------------------------------

       Priority: Minor  (was: Major)
    Description: 
Discovered it trying to compare Geronimo with Websphere Community Edition (Geronimo with supposedly improved management screens and labeled as Websphere).  

Steps:
- Open Eclipse 3.2.2
- Go to Servers view
- Install new server support - for Geronimo and for Websphere Community Edition.
- Both "appear to install".

- If attempt to install both without Eclipse restart after each, the first one *does not* show in the list of servers nor in the list of server plugins available for download (From a fresh Eclipse install, I used Geronimo as the first server and Websphere CE as the second - no sign of Geronimo afterwards in the list of servers or available server plugin downloads).

- If restart after each install, only the first one installed shows in the Server list afterwards, the second one shows in list of server plugins available for download, but the install fails with "Error occurred installing server: Could not download and install update feature." (From another fresh Eclipse install I again used Geronimo as the first server and Websphere CE as the second one - in this case Websphere CE does not show in the list of servers).

I suspect that the problem is caused by IBM failing to clearly differentiate its plugin from the Apache-distributed Geronimo plugin thus confusing Eclipse, but it can still give the impression that Geronimo is at fault and might be worth investigating and maybe requiring IBM (and future Geronimo-based plugins from other vendors) to do a better job.

Workaround:
- Use two separate installs of Eclipse, one with Geronimo and one with Websphere.  Very annoying, but functional.
