Web Tools Platform (WTP) in 0.6M2

Hey all,

I did a clean unpack of the 0,6M2 build and installed the Europa release
of the WST, but when I started up the Work Items view had thrown an
exception.

Is the WTP known to be incompatible?

Thanks,

Todd

No problem. Glad to help, Todd.

I'm curious as to whether this is a bug or not. It could be an Eclipse
issue though since I'd imagine that users of other Eclipse-based products
must've tried installing other plug-ins through update sites before. But
then when you consider that, surely someone must've reported this bug
before?

Regards,
Rem

For this view error, I recommend that you restart Team Concert with the
'-clean' argument...

./TeamConcert -clean

...or whatever the binary is called. I have seen this problem before. It
occurred to after installing WST and then choosing to restart after the UM
directly. This happened to me on Windows XP. If I chose not to restart,
and to restart it manually with the -clean argument, the problem is fixed.

It is rather odd because I have always been under the assumption that
restarts invoked by the UM would be identical to a -clean...but apparently
not.

Root exception:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org.apache.log4j.Category
at java.lang.J9VMInternals.verifyImpl(Native Method)
at java.lang.J9VMInternals.verify(J9VMInternals.java:66)
at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initialize(J9VMInternals.java:127)

Could it be possible that you have two log4j bundles and it is causing
problems? I don't know how smart the UM is with regards to this.

Regards,
Rem

Thanks Rem! -clean appears to have done the trick.

I don't know about WTP as a whole but I've installed WST through the
update manager on M2 using the Europa update site without any problems.

Could you provide a stack trace?

Hi Rem,

I checked the Web Tools box (I can't remember the exact name),
selecting all four sub-bits and their required packages. When I
clicked the popup to restart, TeamConcert did not come up. Attached
is the stack trace from the workspace log,

I should mention this is different from the error-ed view I got
running the Jazz client in Linux.

I think in order to get WTP to install/work properly, you need to
download and unzip the whole EMF SDK. TeamConcert ships with a subset of
EMF, not the entire thing, and WTP requires more than our subset provides.

Hope this helps.

Thanks James,

Unfortunately, after unzipping EMF v2.3.0

into my jazz/client, I'm getting a similar set of fatal startup errors.
Log file attached.

A separate install of just the WST also produces the error seen in the log.
