Using RRC on a Mac

Hi, someone mentioned that because RRC is eclipse-based, that it should function native on a Mac. I'm thinking that isn't correct and that I'll have to install and use this in a Windows VM.

Please advise. And when it might work without the VM.

Thank you,
Vicci

The RRC 2.x Eclipse client will not run on a Mac. You can use FireFox to access an RRC 3.0.1 repository, however you will not be able to edit graphical artifacts as the browser plugin is currently only supported on Windows.

Are there plans to make it work on a Mac? Seeing what is in there doesn't get me to what I need, which is to actually submit requirements.

With iPads, iPhones and Mac's allowed in corporate workplaces, it would seem this should not be an inhibitor. Especially given that tools such as Lotus Notes, Sametime and others based on Eclipse run on a Mac.

Thanks,
Vicci

There no plans I know of to support additional operating systems for the RRC 2.x rich client. The 3.0.1 release has no rich client and will work fine in FireFox on a Mac, however you cannot edit graphical artifacts since it is not yet supported. There is a work item here specifically requesting support for a future 3.x release.

What does 'edit graphical artifact' mean? Can I submit requirements through FF and the v3 release? Is v3 an upcoming release?

3.0.1 is the new release that came out earlier this month. Here is a link to the download. Yes, you can still create rich text requirements/documents on a Mac. You can also view graphical artifacts, you just can't edit them.

Much like the use case diagram/sketch artifacts you have in the 2.x release, these artifact types still exist in 3.0.1 and require a browser plugin that is not yet compatible with Mac/Linux. See this InfoCenter topic for more information on graphical artifacts. Hope it helps,
