How to install RTC as a plugin into an existing eclipse?
Hello,
We are using eclipse 3.3 and have several different feature/plugins installed already. We want to see if there is a straightforward way to install RTC client as a plugin into our existing eclipse client? We haven't found any document on how to do that yet. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

When you run setup of RTC from the Installation Manager you should find the option to install RTC into the existing instance of Eclipse.

Thanks Jakub.
I tried to install 1.0.1.1 via Installation Manager but got the following error in the "summary" screen so I cannot continue.
Bundle info id "org.apache.uima.deployeditor" doesn't match bundle state id "org.apache.uima.editors.dde".
Do you happen to know how to resolve this type of error?
btw, is using the Installation Manager the only way to install RTC into an existing eclipse client? Is there an update site that I can use to install RTC as an eclipse feature/plugin directly?
We are using Eclipse 3.3.2

You can try to download the zip version of RTC (it is available in the All Downloads tab in the Downloads section) and try intall the RTC plugins manually.
Do you use "cleac" Eclipse? or with some additional plugins?

We use eclipse with several plugins (e.g. JSF, Maven etc) and that is why we want to install RTC into this existing Eclipse. We have got the .zip file and do not know how to install this RTC as a plugin into eclipse. We tried to specify /client/eclipse folder as a local site in Find and Install. But after some installation no RTC related plugins are installed.
Any suggestions on how to manually install via eclipse will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello Chengmin,
I'd suggest to download the local installation (with Installation manager)
and use installation manager to install RTC into the existing Eclipse.
The other option is to install RTC and add all the plugins you need.
There used to be a TechNote on Jazz.Net talking about manually integrating
RTC with Rational Application Developer 7.5 beta that could have provided
some hints on how to manually create the links needed, but I can't find it
anymore.
Hope this helps,
Ralph

Can you try to manually copy all the features and plugins from RTC to your instance of Eclipse? (it is better to do the copy of your Eclipse instance before messing up with the plugins!)
Please let me know about your results.
kind regards,
Jakub
Ralph, Jakub, thanks a lot for your replies.
I tried the approach Ralph suggested (manual install via local extension) and it worked like a charm! I actually was trying to do it before but didn't know where I should set the extension location since there are multiple entries in the jazz folder structure. It is good to know that we need to add the features one by one instead of using the /jazz/client etc as the extension location.
I didn't try to manually copy the folders from /jazz/client/... into my eclipse folder since I believe if I copy the feature individually, it would work. However the extensionlocation approach is better since it makes update easier in the future.
Really appreciate your help!
