Installing RTC into Oracle Workshop for WebLogic


Maxime Carey (212) | asked Jan 29 '09, 3:58 p.m.
Hi all,
I'm trying to install the RTC client into Oracle Workshop for WebLogic but I'm having trouble as OWW is Eclipse-based but don't follow the standard directory structure. I've been looking for a while on the Net if this has been done before but it doesn't seem. I've isolated the RTC client file that are installed using snapshot utility but it doesn't seem to help me much. I've tried to spot for an installation repository but Eclipse gets a 404 if I try to access the repository used by the IBM Installation Manager to fetch Eclipse. Isn't there a way to install the RTC client into Eclipse using a local repository or such?

Thanks


Alright, I've been able to hack my way trough by installing the file the snapshot took into the pseudo-eclipse directory of OWW. It seems to be working right for now. But I'd prefer to have some more official way of doing so. This will be used by developpers here on a huge project. Being supported somehow would be nice.

Update:
I've done more testing this morning and the resulting environment is broken. All installed functionalites work, but updates fails. I'll be looking on a way to merge eclipse installations.

This is going to be a bit of a struggle to sort out if the IDE does not follow the Eclipse guidelines (putting things in the right places, etc). Is there any way to encourage OWW to be more compliant?

I'm pretty sure I know the answer, but is there another way to install the RTC client than using the IBMIM?

Yeah, you can download the .zip file for you OS.

Ok, so I've dug deeper into OWW and found the Eclipse directory containing the Eclipse file. The previous folder I had found is linked to the Eclipse environment. There is three folders:

\bea\tools\eclipse_pkgs\2.0\eclipse_3.3.2\eclipse
\bea\tools\eclipse_pkgs\2.0\pkgs\eclipse
\bea\workshop_10.3\workshop4WP\eclipse

The first contains the eclipse.exe file and its configuration folder only hold the eclipse.ini file. The second contains BEA plugins, Spring Framework plugins and AspectJ plugins. The last folder contains other plugins and its configuration folder holds every subfolder you would ordinary find into it (.settings, org.eclipse.runtime, ...)

So, IBMIM complains about being unable to find org.eclipse.update\platform.xml when I point it to the first directory. So I manualy move all the configurations sublfolder from the third directory to the first one. Now, IBMIM complains about "the offer not being able to be installed in this existing Eclipse installation configuration, because it would void constraint of existing bundles" (not exactly that because I translated it from french). If I click on detail I get: Installation of the bundle "javax.transaction.xa" in this existing Eclipse installation do not meet version requirement of "1.0.1" for the existing bundle "org.springframework.bundle.spring". I did the updates and the current springframework bundle is at version 2.5.6. Still out of luck :(

I'll be looking if there a way to do a manual install using the zip.

Hi all,
any updates on how to integrate RTC 2.0.0.1 with Oracle Workshop 10.3 and newer?
Did anyone achieve that integration flawlessly?
Please advise,
