 I am new to the Macbook world (Mojave v10.14.6), I am trying to install RTC client (v 6.0.2 and v5.0.2) on Eclipse (versions Photon and Oxygen). I get the following error:  "Could not find file:file:/<eclipse install>/jazz"


I verified that everyone has Read/Write permission to the directory that the "RTC-Client-Mac-6.0.2.zip" zip file was extracted to:
drwxrwxrwx@  6 <userid>  staff        192 Oct  4 16:52 jazz


I also tired to point directly to the archive file and I get the same error message.

From reviewing the eclipse .log file I see the following trace, which still doesn't provide me any good information:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core 4 0 2019-10-09 11:06:54.65
!MESSAGE Provisioning exception
!STACK 1
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.ProvisionException: No repository found at file:/<eclipse install>/jazz/.
...
!MESSAGE No repository found at file:/<eclipse install>/jazz/.
PLEASE HELP!! I am not sure what else to check or how to proceed to get an RTC Client installed on my new Mackbook Pro. 

Regards Anthony R.

I think you may be using the wrong steps. The RTC-Client-Mac-6.0.2.zip is supposed to be just unzipped and ready to use AFAIK. However, I am not sure all the necessary content is in the MacBook media for 6.0.2. I have also had trouble with this media.

Option 1
Use IBM Installation Manager and download the Client for Eclipse 3.6.x IDE or Client for Eclipse 4.2.x IDE (see further up the page under IBM Installation Manager Repositories). https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/6.0.2?p=allDownloads. Set the repository.config file from the unzipped RTC Eclipse client media as a repository to IBM Installation Manager and install. Mojave 10.14 appears to be supported.

Option 2
You install from eclipse.org a supported version of the Eclipse client. Oxygen is 4.7 and Photon is 4.8, and the latest supported for 6.0.2 is 4.5.2 so unfortunately these versions are not supported until a more recent RTC version. Go for just the vanilla version of Eclipse with e.g. Java IDE. See here for a link to the Mars 2 version of Eclipse. https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/mars/2/eclipse-java-mars-2-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz. See here for the compatibility reports. https://www.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/softwareReqsForProduct

Then you add the RTC Eclipse p2 repository zip as an install location for your Mars 2 Eclipse and install using Eclipse itself. The p2 zip is available from the same download page as the other Eclipse media. https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/6.0.2/RTC-Client-p2Repo-6.0.2.zip
