Install RTC client 4.0.1 to Eclipse(Juno/Kepler) fails.

I'm trying to install RTC Client as an extension of my existing Eclipse. I tried both Juno and Kepler, all fails. It's quite frustrated. Why do you make the installer so hard?

RTC Client: 4.0.1
OS: Win 7 64bit
Eclipse: Juno/Kepler JEE edition.

I've extended Juno with 4.0.1 a number of times using the p2repo.

These are my steps:

Extract the Eclipse release to c:\tools\eclipse

Extend Eclipse by adding a remote update site with the RTC p2repo from ...\RTC\4.0.1\RTC-Client-p2Repo-4.0.1.zip

When Eclipse has restarted shift to the Jazz Admin perspective


What do you do, and what happens?

What is RTC p2repo?
Where is ...\RTC\4.0.1\RTC-Client-p2Repo-4.0.1.zip? Do I have to download it from somewhere?

Hi,

I'm afraid RTC V4.0.1 does not support Juno / Kepler as these are based on Eclipse V4. RTC V4.0.1 only supports V3.6 and 3.7.

Good news is that latest RTC support Eclipse V4.2.2 or above (though it is IES).

 https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Deployment/CLMSystemRequirements

Note that system requirement explicitly states about IES (IBM Eclipse SDK), depending on plug-ins you have on Juno/Kepler, it may not work due to conflicts between plug-ins or missing plug-ins.

By the way, I assume you use p2 install.

Thanks. I tried with Indigo, it still failed. The Eclipse complains about some missing packages.

By the way, what is p2 install? I just download a CLM-Web-Installer-Win-4.0.1.zip from jazz.net.

First of all, looks like there is some success to install RTC V4.0.1 on Juno, so it worth a try. Navigate to all downloads, and in the end of the page.

Download this file. And then, install using this procedure.

https://jazz.net/help-dev/clm/topic/com.ibm.jazz.install.doc/topics/t_client_installation_p2.html

- Start Eclipse and select Help > Install New Software.

- In the Available Software window, click Add. In the Add Repository window, click Archive and navigate to the p2 Install Repository .zip file that you downloaded.

It works. But I think RTC has to fix its web installer.

In addition to what Anders said:
make sure that your proxy configuration is set correctly and that you've marked "Contact all update sites during install to find required software":


This is needed cause the p2 packages has some dependencies to other plugins which may need to be updated or installed

Hope this helps,
Simon
