Plugins install but aren't usable???


Ernest Crvich (19212119) | asked Dec 09 '11, 1:58 p.m.
Using RTC 3.0.1...I can install, say, Perl EPIC (or some other 3rd party plugin), and the install goes fine, I restart, RTC says it's installed with no errors, but it's unusable...doesn't show up in Preferences, doesn't open .pl files with the EPIC editor, etc.

What could be the problem?

Some more info: this is a Linux install that was done with Installation Manager and done as a shared install. Shared resources are in /opt/IBM/SDPShared, and the client and Eclipse are both in /opt/IBM/TeamConcert.

Other plugins fail the same way, so it's not just Perl EPIC. They show up as installed, but don't function.

A similar install on Windows XP works (plugins both install and function fine), and a similar install on Windows 7 fails the same way as Linux.

Is this a known RTC bug?

Disclaimer: Eclipse plugin behavior is not my area of expertise.
But with that in mind, I have heard of folks having more success by
first adding all their non-RTC plug-ins into a vanilla Eclipse
installation, confirm they are all working, and then add in the RTC plug-in.

Cheers,
Geoff

I'm facing the same problem.

So I opened a defect: https://jazz.net/jazz/web/projects/Rational%20Team%20Concert#action=com.ibm.team.workitem.viewWorkItem&id=193556

Sorry, I opened one already back in mid-December and it has been resolved. You'll want to view the following two work items:
