APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When performing a p2 install of IBM Developer for z (IDZ) 15.0.5
  it was discovered that the install will fail once the File
  Explorer plugin is installed.
  
  This failure will result in the following messages being
  discovered in the install log:
  org.osgi.service.resolver.ResolutionException: Uses constraint
  violation. Unable to resolve resource
  com.ibm.debug.pdt.profile.eclipse [osgi.identity;
  type="osgi.bundle"; version:Version="1.0.105.202205121926";
  osgi.identity="com.ibm.debug.pdt.profile.eclipse";
  singleton:="true"] because it is exposed to package
  'org.apache.http.impl' from resources
  org.apache.httpcomponents.httpcore [osgi.identity;
  type="osgi.bundle"; version:Version="4.4.12.v20200108-1212";
  osgi.identity="org.apache.httpcomponents.httpcore"] and
  org.apache.http [osgi.identity; type="osgi.bundle";
  version:Version="4.4.10.v20200227_2112";
  osgi.identity="org.apache.http"] via two dependency chains.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Installing File Manager plugin with p2 over an IDz product
  failed with dependency conflicts.
  

Problem conclusion

• An old unnecessary feature was being included in the IDz
  packaging, that caused the conflict. The feature was removed
  from the installation package in version 15.0.6 and the
  installation now succeeds when installing FM over that version.
  

Temporary fix
