Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-3558:
-----------------------------------

I have been able to twice today install the full JBT stack from update site starting from Platform Runtime Binary:

Once I got this:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine 4 4 2009-01-23 10:01:34.284
!MESSAGE An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
!SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository 4 0 2009-01-23 10:01:34.284
!MESSAGE No repository found containing: org.eclipse.birt.integration.wtp/org.eclipse.update.feature/2.3.1.v20080630-4518s733I3J5E
!SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository 4 0 2009-01-23 10:01:34.284
!MESSAGE No repository found containing: org.eclipse.birt.integration.wtp.ui/osgi.bundle/2.3.1.v20080827

but refreshing the site (twice!) fixed that.

Here's how I ran eclipse:

#!/bin/bash

eclipse=eclipse-platform-M20090121-1700-linux-gtk.tar.gz
workspace=/home/nboldt/eclipse/workspace-clean
target=/home/nboldt/eclipse/34clean

if [[ $1 ]]; then
  echo "Wipe $target/eclipse and $workspace ..."
  rm -fr $target/eclipse $workspace
  echo "Unpack $eclipse ..."
  tar xzf $eclipse
fi

./eclipse/eclipse -clean -showLocation -data $workspace -consolelog -console -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx256M -XX:PermSize=128M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M 2>&1 | tee "eclipse.log.`date`.txt"

And here are the steps I followed (similar to http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-10044, "nstalling JBoss Tools from the Update Site" section):

1. get Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary (latest 3.4.2 M build, M20090121-1700)
2. use script above to unpack & run in a clean workspace
3. Help > Software Updates... > Available Software (tab) > Manage Sites... (button)
4. Add these URLs, or, if they're already listed, make sure they're enabled (checked)
          o http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/trunk/
          o http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/
          o http://download.eclipse.org/birt/update-site/2.3/  

5. Click OK.
6. Expand the JBoss Tools Update Site and select any or all of the available features listed thereunder.
7. Click Install... then Next and/or Finish. Restart when prompted.

I don't have a Windows box handy atm to test if this is perchance a Windows issue, but I would suggest trying a newer platform binary than 3.4.1, since the latest JBT builds with a newer Maintenance build.

> I downloaded the platform runtime binary (http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.1-200809111700/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-platform-3.4.1-win32.zip) from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.1-200809111700/index.php, AFAIK it is the minimal eclipse installation that can update itself.
> Then I registered the update site for JBoss Tools 3.0.0.cr1 (http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development) and was very surprised to see that It "apparently" does not require to install the WTP 3.0.x. and I AFAIK it should be a requirement.
