How to install RTC client on top of Eclipse ?
Hello, I'm using Open Client RHat 6.4 on my laptop. I was using RTC as a standalone program before with no issues. Now I wanted to install RTC on top of the existing eclipse but it failed all the time. I tried various combinations of eclipse editions and RTC but it always fails ( I am using Installation Manager ) on a page when it checks for plug-in dependencies. I tried to install those plug-ins using local or remote ... but it always failed. In my case I'd like to have RTC 4.0.3.
My question: does anyone have success to install RTC on top of eclipse on Open Client? If someone succeeded ... could you point me to release of eclipse you used or some other tricks you did for it?
P.S. I found this topic https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_client_installation_p2.html which states that it should work. I followed all the steps i.e. installed eclipse 4.3.0 , downloaded RTC-Client-p2Repo-4.0.3RC1.zip but the problem now is with installing that .zip. I've got the error:

Try unzipping the file then when you add new repository choose local and point to the directory that contains the contents.xml file.

hi Folks,
thanks everyone for help and advices. Finally I'm all set. Eventually my problem was with corrupted p2 RTC-Client file. I installed Download Manager, downloaded .zip using it and was able to install RTC 4.0.3 on top of Eclipse 4.3
I acknowledge that this combination might be not tested and/or supported but for my needs it works fine.
thanks again.

Which version of Eclipse are you using?
Kepler
Eclipse SDK
Version: 4.3.0
Build id: I20130530-1430
Just fyi, I used P2 to install RTC 4.0.3 into my Eclipse 4.2.2 successfully but this is on Windows.
Thanks for reply. At this point I didn't get to the problem of compatibility yet but the current problem is with my Open Client issue with java.util.zip.ZipException
Well ... I just thought that .zip file might be corrupted though I downloaded it from jazz.net.
I tried to unzip it and got this error:
[evoldman@voldman-lnx TBD]$ unzip RTC-Client-p2Repo-4.0.3RC1.zip
Archive: RTC-Client-p2Repo-4.0.3RC1.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of RTC-Client-p2Repo-4.0.3RC1.zip or
RTC-Client-p2Repo-4.0.3RC1.zip.zip, and cannot find RTC-Client-p2Repo-4.0.3RC1.zip.ZIP, period.

Any suggestions?
Thanks
