CDT with RTC 1.0

I am trying to install the CDT in RTC Standard and seeing strange behavior. I am using the CDT 4.0 at the following update site

http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/europa

In another 3.3 Eclipse shell that update site lists the CDT Main Features (C/C++ Dev Tools and SDK) and CDT Optional Features (Hware Debugging, C99 Parser, etc.). When adding that site in RTC, only the optional features are listed and they all have error markers next to them complaining about the missing the main features. Very confusing as both are 3.3 and using the same update site. Thoughts? I searched the Jazz site and saw someone installed successfully in Feb 08 with the beta. Anyone tried with the release?

Thanks,
Harry

You have to be careful, because RTC requires some Java plug-ins which are available in CDT. So what I've done in the past to get both CDT+RTC to work is the following:
1. Installed a vanilla Eclipse SDK 3.3.
2. Used the CDT update site, and installed CDT into it.
3. Used the RTC IM to installed into the Eclipse instance.

This worked for me and I've used CDT + RTC for a while.

I installed CDT 4.0.3 into RTC 1.0 Standard a few days ago. No reported problems during the install but I will take a look to see if it really works or not.

Whoops - sorry - this was an old installation. Just tried to do this on RTC 1.0 and I ghet the same problem as you Harry.

I will also be looking for a solution for this - and might just revert to Jean-Michel's way.

I just installed a second instance of RTC 1.0 on my machine and added
the update site referenced here. I see both the main and optional
feature groups for CDT. I was able to select the main dev tools feature
and the debugging/c99 parser optional features and install them without
issue.

So, perhaps there is something else in your environment that is leading
to the configuration issues?

We can continue the discussion in

which anthony opened for this. (thanks Anthony!)
