Spring Tool Suite 4.3.1 & RTC-Client-p2Repo 6.0.6.1

Brian Kates (11●1) | asked Aug 01 '19, 12:42 p.m.

I'm getting an exception in STS when I try to create a repository connection and I'm getting the following exception:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/impl/client/WinHttpClients

at com.ibm.team.repository.transport.client.RemoteTeamServer.isWindowsAuthAvailable(RemoteTeamServer.java:2679)

at com.ibm.team.repository.client.login.AbstractLoginInfo.isWindowsAuthPossible(AbstractLoginInfo.java:31)

In my searching, I came across this old question: https://jazz.net/forum/questions/218665/rtc-601-does-not-work-on-rsad-95-cannot-find-classes-and-not-report-error-anyway

Is there anything I can do to fix my current install? If not, which versions of Eclipse / STS are compatible with the RTC plugin?

I am not familiar with STS. You may consider to have Eclipse with the Spring IDE plugin and then RTC-Client-p2Repo 6.0.6.1 to the same Eclipse. For v6.0.6.1, the supported Eclipse run time can be found from system requirement:

(prerequisite > Eclipse run time environment)

As an update, we cannot get the 6.0.6.1 RCT client to run on a 2019-06 version of Eclipse (or a version of STS that bundles the 2019-06 version of Eclipse). We can however get the 6.0.6 client to work with Eclipse Photon. I have not yet tried 6.0.6.1 on Eclipse Photon.

The error message when trying to Connect to a Repository location (in our error log) is:

Unhandled event loop exception

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/http/impl/client/WinHttpClients

at com.ibm.team.repository.transport.client.RemoteTeamServer.isWindowsAuthAvailable(RemoteTeamServer.java:2679)

....

We are using the Java 8 JDK that comes with WebSphere 9. Though, we did try an Oracle Java 8 JDK too, with no success.

Interestingly, an older version of the RTC Client, 6.0.1 works with STS 4.3.1 (which is based on Eclipse 2019-06).

It's all about the answers!
