How do I install RTC 3.0 client into Eclipse 3.6.1?

I have tried the web install and the local IM install, but both are looking for 3.5.2 with a very specific set of plugins.

I have the Helios (3.6.1) version of PDT (2.1) installed and fully updated. How do I add RTC client to that environment? Is there an update site that I can plug in to?

The RTC documentation is very unclear how to do this, although it does say that Eclipse 3.6 and 3.6.1 are supported.

Opened Defect #161576

This issue is being tracked in the WI: 156073 (https://jazz.net/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/156073). Defect 161576 provides a lot of information too, thanks, it was marked as a duplicate of 156073.

Both IM and the P2 install fail to install RTC 3.x in an Eclipse 3.6.x edition with org.eclipse.xsd 2.6.0 or org.eclipse.emf.* 2.6.0. The Eclipse Classic edition does not include these, so it works well there.

We are going to investigate what we can do to get a workaround for the other Eclipse editions.

This worked great for me using Eclipse 3.6 (build id 20100917-0705). Thanks for the help!

I've had problems with that approach. It mostly works, but it sometimes results in plugin conflicts on startup, resulting in the workbench layout getting reset.

The approach I take now is to:
- download and extract the 'p2 Install Repository'
(available at https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/3.0?p=allDownloads)
- install and run Eclipse 3.6 (or later)
- use Help > Install New Software, adding a new local repository for the one you just extracted
- install the RTC feature

I also suggest using a download manager like DownThemAll (http://www.downthemall.net) for getting artifacts from jazz.net.

I found that if you install "Eclipse for Java developers 3.6.2" (the smallest (90MB) package) RTC won't install on top because of the Equinox Framework dependency errors.

But, if you install "Eclipse Classic 3.6.2" you can install RTC 3.0 ifix1 on top of it using the P2 even though it has the same Equinox Framework installed.

(I love all the dependency problems that Eclipse manages to produce)

I did a fresh Eclipse 3.6.2 install today to see if I could find an RTC 3.0 install sequence that would work. The following steps worked for me.

1. Install Eclipse 3.6.2. Do not install additional packages.
2. Install RTC 3.0 using the p2 method
3. Install Eclipse Web Tools Platform software (like XML Editors and Tools)

Swapping #2 and #3 above appears to break the ability to install RTC 3.0.

I am also unable to install RTC 3.0 into Eclipse 3.6.2 using the p2 repository method. On Windows 7 and on Ubuntu 11.04, I get the same errors reported previously in this thread.

On Windows 7 and on Ubuntu 11.04, I installed Eclipse using the Eclipse Full SDK distributions. I then installed Eclipse XML Editors and Tools Version: 3.2.3.v201102160550-7H7AFUWDxumQJOi9ghcTb5YgkwEZ

My Eclipse version is: Eclipse SDK - 3.6.2.M20110210-1200

Let me know if you need any additional information.

I use a rather brute force method of installing RTC into Eclipse 3.6. Here's what I do:

1) I download the zip client install and extract it
2) I install Eclipse 3.6
3) I create an folder named rtc within the dropins folder of the Eclipse 3.6 install
4) I copy the plugins and features from the "jazz\client\eclipse" folder of the RTC install to the folder I created in step 3.
5) I start Eclipse 3.6

Disclaimer: This is probably not the best way to do this bit it works for me. You need to be warned that there are some patches on Eclipse 3.5 that are shipped with RTC that may not work when you install into Eclipse 3.5 so YMMV.


I have tried this but something went wrong. What should I do? Did I miss something?

Can you let us know the exact version and edition of Eclipse (like Eclipse for JEE Developers 3.6.2 a.k.a 3.6 SR2)?

What went wrong, did you get error messages?

Thanks.

I have tried installing Client 3.0 and 3.0 eFix1 with both Eclipse 3.6.1 and Eclipse 3.6.2 and get the org.eclipse.xsd (2.5.0) needs (2.6.0) which is what is installed in 3.6.2 (2.6.0) so is RTC shipping org.eclipse.xsd (2.5.0) and if so, why doesn't the install manager handle the updated version during the install?
I'm not sure about your issue with install manager but you could try using the p2 repo to install RTC 3.0 into Eclipse 3.6.x.

Tried that too. Same error, can't downlevel org.eclipse.xsd from 2.6.0 to 2.5.0

I am having similar issues with RTC-Client-p2Repo-3.0.1M13.zip and Eclipse Helios Service Release 2. I am downloading the p2 repository and using the Eclipse "Install New Software" GUI to install RTC from local repository. Any ideas on how to resolve conflicts below are most welcome.
