Hello Kevin,
may you please indicate on top which version of Eclipse WPF 612 is build on?
Please also share your workspace log:
<workspace_dir>/.metadata/.log.
along with your configuration details:
Help --> About --> RTC --> configuration details.

Thanks.
Eric.

kevingriffith a crit :

I need to use WebSphere Portlet Factory 6.1.2 with RTC 2.0.0.1.
After installing WPF, into the existing RTC eclipse, the WPF
perspective is not visible.
The configuration shows that the WPF features & plugins are
installed.
The link file was created.

Compatibility problem?

Has anybody done this?

thanks for any help/experience you may be able to share.

Kevin

Hi Eric,
thanks for your response.

I'm not sure which release of eclipse WPF is built on.

The com.bowstreet.designer_6.1.2 requires an import of org.eclipse.core.runtime greater or equal to 3.4.0

I see the jazz/client/eclipse/readme_eclipse.html indicates RTC2.0.0.1 uses Release 3.4.2.

That requirement seems to be met.

The config details file is a bit too large to post here.

I cleaned out the workspace log and restarted the workspace.
The following log indicates an error :
!MESSAGE Error occurred while building repository location from file: C:\IBM\RTC-ExpressC-Full-2.0.0.1-Win\jazz\client\eclipse\links\com.bowstreet.designer.link

Could there be a problem caused by the dashes and periods in the install directory?

I'll do a reinstall to check that out.


Here is the stack for the error:

I put RTC at a short directory name (c:\ibm\rtc) without any dashes, spaces, periods. I reinstalled websphere portlet factory, choosing the RTC eclipse directory in the install wizard, but the WPF perspective still won't come up.

Anyone have any ideas on how to make this work?

Kevin

Ok, I got WPF and RTC to both come up in my RAD.
I installed WPF 6.1.2 into my RAD 7.5.4 using the WPF install wizard. Then I added .link files in the /sdp/links directory pointing to the RTC 2.0.0.1 install.
A link file for build, foundation, reports, scm, scmconnectors, ua, and workitem with a path set like this:
path=C:/IBM/RTC/jazz/client/eclipse/jazz/build
