Todd Flinders commented on JBIDE-500:
-------------------------------------

In an attempt to determine if I simply hadn't satisfied the JBoss Tools dependencies, I tried another installation method that seems to yield more clues.

1.  Install Eclipse 3.3 (stable).
2.  Launch Eclipse.
3.  Help | Software Updates | Find and Install | Search for new features to install
4.  Install the Europa Discovery site features (I took the shotgun approach and installed everything).  Everything installs fine.
5.  Restart Eclipse.
6.  Shutdown Eclipse.
7.  Unzip JBossTools-200706290355-nightly-ALL-linux-gtk to the Eclipse 3.3 directory
8.  Launch Eclipse
9.  Now I see the JBoss Tools icons and the Red Hat menu that I had not seen previously!
10.  Help | Software Updates | Find and Install | Search for new features to install
11.  Install Subclipse.  It installs fine!
12.  Restart Eclipse.

Sadly, the JBoss Tools icons and Red Hat menu are now gone again.   I do not see anything that looks JBoss or Red Hat specific in the Show View and Open Perspective selection boxes.  Nor do I see anything that looks JBoss or Red Hat specific in the "New" selection wizard.

However, Subclipse is installed and seems to work.

I have seen the installation wiki at:  http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=InstallingJBossToolsNightlyBuilds
The discussion of dependencies at the wiki entry is not entirely clear to me.  Have I (and several others) just misunderstood and installed incorrectly?

> After installing the nightly JBoss Tools nightly build on Eclipse 3.3 stable, updates are prevented due to the following error:
> org.jboss.ide.eclipse.ejb3.feature (1.0.0.200706290355-nightly) requires plug-in "org.eclipse.wst.server.core".
> It should be noted I'm referring to JBoss Tools nightly build installed by unpacking the zip file downloaded from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/nightly/200706290355-nightly/all/JBossTools-200706290355-nightly-ALL-linux-gtk.zip.  This is not to be confused with the JBossIDE Beta 2.
> The problem can be demonstrated by attempting to install subclipse (for example).  The steps to recreate the problem are:
> 1.  Install a fresh Eclipse 3.3.
> 2.  Unzip JBossTools-200706290355-nightly-ALL-linux-gtk to the Eclipse 3.3 directory
> 3.  In Eclipse:  Help | Software Updates | Find and Install | Search for new features to install
> 4.  Add a new remote site.  In my case I added Subclipse with the update URL of http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.2.x
> 5.  Select a feature to install, in my case Subclipse | Subclipse Plugin
> 6.  The error is displayed at the top of the Updates window:  org.jboss.ide.eclipse.ejb3.feature (1.0.0.200706290355-nightly) requires plug-in "org.eclipse.wst.server.core".
