Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-5792:
-----------------------------------

ALL zip contains all the Xulrunner versions because we have ONE feature which builds all 4 varieties (now 5 in JBT 3.1).

If you're trying to install JBT by valmorphanizing it into an .rpm you're just making life extra-crispy. All you need to do is one of the following:

a) unpack the zip into where you have Eclipse installed, or your ~/.eclipse/ folder if you're on a shared machine and don't have root access to the flavour of Fedora Eclipse installed there.

b) unpack the zip into where you have Eclipse installed if you downloaded it yourself from Eclipse.org (JEE bundle recommended)

c) start Eclipse and point it at the update site or update site zip; it will install everything for you without having to monkey around on the console.

---

(c) is the easiest and most-recommended approach, but your usecase may be different so I mention (a) and (b) as alternatives. For more on (c), see:

> I downloaded JBossTools-ALL-linux-gtk-x86_64-3.0.3.v200910211631N-H194-GA.zip and I tried to install it on linux system.
> I was unable to generate rpm files from file .spec (rpmbuild -tb ) in the section %files.
> The error I get is: 
> "errore: Due file su di una riga: /opt/six/share/eclipse/plugins/org.mozilla.xulrunner.carbon.macosx_1.8.1.3-20070904/xulrunner/plugins/Default
> errore: Il file deve iniziare con "/": Plugin.plugin"
> The problem seems to be the presence of a folder named "Default Plugin.plugin" inside the "plugins\org.mozilla.xulrunner.carbon.macosx_1.8.1.3-20070904\xulrunner\plugins" folder. I suppose folder's name causes the problem. I removed this folder and the generation of rpm completed without errors.
> I do not understand the necessity of such folder that seems relative to MAC OS, considering that the plugin is for linux environment.
> Here is the .spec file I used:
