is it possible to use Eclipse 3.7 IDE for developing for the 3.5 platform? Or must I use Eclipse 3.5 IDE?
When I try to switch from Eclipse 3.5 IDE to 3.7 I get errors on projects, which were ok before: Archive for required library: 'C:/.../.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core/.external_libraries/xyz/os/win32/x86' in project 'projectname' cannot be read or is not a valid ZIP file projectname
What do I have to do to exchange the 3.5 IDE with a current one, but still develop for the 3.5 platform?
I hope my explanation did make sense and was understandable :)
Additional Info: - I never used the RCP before, now I must use it - It's no option to upgrade the target platform (3.5) - I searched the net and stackoverflow, but found no answers for using 3.7 and develop for target platform 3.5 (maybe nobody else has these problems or I used the wrong queries)
Cheers

I just resolved my problem :-)
In my case, there was a plugin jar, that contained the java sources:
jar
com
META-INF
src
plugin.xml
It seems like eclipse is putting jars inside of plugin jars in the following directory:
[WORKSPACE]\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.pde.core\.external_libraries\...
For my plugin, it tried to put the src folder in this directory - which somehow failed.
After deleting the src folder inside the jar, the errors were gone.
RCP == bag of pain :-)
