Now installation will succeed.

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3239?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-3239: -------------------------------------- I am not sure I understand what the problem is. If a user wants to install the BIRT integration feature, he has to install birt and birt wtp. Otherwise, he can uncheck this feature. I didn't change anything related to the updating the birt feature in the meantime. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3239?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-3239: ----------------------------------- Using the workflow above -- Eclipse JEE + JBoss Tools update site -- p2 could not find that feature. Here's what is included on the Ganymede update site [1], searching for feature with "birt" in their name: <feature url="features/org.eclipse.birt_2.3.1.v20080630-7N7Y7AAYdlIXLgz-SLsyMQ21x2fI.jar" id="org.eclipse.birt" version="2.3.1.v20080630-7N7Y7AAYdlIXLgz-SLsyMQ21x2fI"> <feature url="features/org.eclipse.birt.doc_2.3.1.v20080630-2207w31191_34b.jar" id="org.eclipse.birt.doc" version="2.3.1.v20080630-2207w31191_34b"> <feature url="features/org.eclipse.tptp.birt_4.4.200.v200807310709-7J7KAh7i0i7FtQgZWz0mZuFjnj36.jar" id="org.eclipse.tptp.birt" version="4.4.200.v200807310709-7J7KAh7i0i7FtQgZWz0mZuFjnj36"> [1] http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/ I looked for an update site for BIRT but could not find one -- only way I could find the required missing feature was from their 2.3.1 downloads page. After a bit of extra thinking ("but surely if BIRT is in Ganymede they must have an update site somewhere!") & hacking (ssh to dev.eclipse.org and look around for the site), I found this: http://download.eclipse.org/birt/update-site/2.3/ So, here's a revised workflow that does work: a) download Eclipse 3.4.1 JEE bundle: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downlo... b) unpack, start Eclipse: ./eclipse -clean -showLocation -data /home/nboldt/eclipse/workspace-clean -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx256M -XX:PermSize=128M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M c) Help > Software Updates > Available Software > Add Site > http://download.eclipse.org/birt/update-site/2.3/ c) Help > Software Updates > Available Software > Add Site > http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/trunk/ d) select entire JBoss Tools node e) installation succeeds -- the first thing p2 downloads is the plugin org.eclipse.birt.integration.wtp.ui_2.3.1.v20080827 -- but no disk is wasted w/ extraneous features or plugins included in the SDK zip I used before. -- So... I'm going to open a bug against BIRT asking that they make their update site discoverable on the website, and WTP so that they'll add BIRT as a discovery URL. That won't fix things for this release, but may assist in future. * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=256017 - Link BIRT update sites from website and wiki * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=256018 - Update Manager Install Instructions are out of date and do not mention BIRT update sites * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=256021 - Could WTP provide a link to BIRT's update site for discovery purposes? * https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=256022 - Are there features missing from the Ganymede Update site? For JBoss Tools, however, we need to at least document the fact that this feature needs that extra plugin. One quasi-solution would be to have some other feature provide the BIRT update site as a discovery URL so that once some of JBoss Tools is installed, subsequent installs should be able to magically find that site, and thus that required plugin. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3239?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Snjezana Peco resolved JBIDE-3239. ---------------------------------- Resolution: Done I have added BIRT discovery site to the BIRT feature. BIRT update site is shown in the list when adding JBoss Tools site, but the user has to check/enable it using the "Manage Sites" button in order P2 to find the org.eclipse.birt.integration.wtp feature. I am not sure if this is intentional behavior or a bug in P2. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3239?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Nick Boldt resolved JBIDE-3239. ------------------------------- Resolution: Done Typo fixed. Site is added to list of available update sites when the JBT site is added... however, the site is NOT enabled by default. Why? Well... https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=234213#c10 http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Repository_Association Adding a vote for that bug might help, but for now the best we can do is wait for Ganymede SR2 (when BIRT adds the missing integration feature to the Ganymede site), and direct users to enable the site: http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-10044 So, because I'm sick of fighting with this bug, I'm closing it for now. We can revisit in February if anyone's keen. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
