Running RTC with Eclipse 3.4 on the Mac

Using Installation Manager under Linux, I am quite happily running RTC with Eclipse 3.4. I want to now do the same on my OSX box. Since the Mac client does not include a release of Installation Manager, what are the correct steps to run RTC with eclipse 3.4?

I'm running RTC 1.0 under Eclipse 3.4, and the easiest way I've found
to install it is to simply use P2. Download the Mac version of RTC,
Select Help -> Software Updates. You must first install EMF, SDO, XSD,
and Datatools from the Ganymede update site. Then change to the
Available Software tab and Add Site ... Select each of the jazz
sub-folders from the jazz download you want to install. The minimum
set is build, foundation, reports, scm, ua, and workitem. Install all
of the plugins from those "sites", restart, and you should be good to
go. If you want the spiffy application icon and splash screen, simply
copy over the application, and modify your config.ini with the
following:

eclipse.product=com.ibm.team.concert.product
osgi.splashPath=platform\:/base/plugins/com.ibm.team.concert

Hi,

Could you show me how you go about getting a RTC driver that supports
Eclipse 3.4? I am trying to try out RTC + Eclipse 3.4. So you have
only the client running on Eclipse 3.4? or other RTC components as
well? Thank you.

On my Linux box:
- I placed Eclipse 3.4 in the /opt/eclipse
- I installed the IBM JDK
- During the RTC Install I set it to extend the /opt/eclipse instance.

Thats it.

FYI, it looks like Andre Weinand is going to update the "Team Concert on Mac OS X" tech note to address this question. Some links below:

Hi Aaron,

I've just ran RTC inside Eclipse Ganymede (Classic version). Although I haven't had time to test it, I have been able to connect to the project area and do some basic operations.
You just have to copy all content from 'plugins' and 'features' folders of RTC client for Mac to the 'plugins' and 'features' folders of the existing Eclipse Ganymede instance. Remember also to copy files and folders from 'dtp', 'emf', 'gef' and 'jazz' folders.

So you have to copy:
path_to_rtc/plugins -> path_to_eclipse/plugins
path_to_rtc/features-> path_to_eclipse/features

path_to_rtc/dtp/plugins-> path_to_eclipse/plugins
path_to_rtc/dtp/features-> path_to_eclipse/features

path_to_rtc/emf/plugins-> path_to_eclipse/plugins
path_to_rtc/emf/features-> path_to_eclipse/features

etc.

Hope this helps!
Jakub
