Hello all,
I wanted to give WTP M3 a spin, but I've run into a problem. After
downloading the binaries listed on the download page and uncompressing
them into eclipse 3.1M5a installation directory (I've verified that, the
features and plugins got in the right places) I launched eclipse with a
blank workspace. A dialog requesting downloading additional jars was
displayed. I've downloaed the binaries and copied the jars in the
requested locations. Then, I've restarted eclipse.
To my much surprise barely any WTP features showed up in the workbench. In
the workbench prefernces, only 'Servers' and 'XML Catalog' tabs were added.
In 'Show view' dialog, only 'Servers' and 'Server Explorer Category'
categories showed up. In 'New' wizard, only 'Data' containing 'SQL
Scrapbook page' and 'Servers' containng 'Server' showed up.
I'm comparing this to WTP M2 that I tried a few weeks ago, so I know there
should be much more...
In 'Product Configuration' dialog, I'm seeing J2EE Standard Tools Feature
1.0.0 and Web Standard Tools Feature 1.0.0, both enabled. In About/Feature
details, WST/JST are not visible. In About/Plugin details I see lots of
WTP provided plugins. The error log contains just one error:
Invalid preference page path: XML Catalog
But at the same time XML Catalog shows in workbench preferences and seems
to be working (at least it's US is clickable)
I tried running eclipse with '-clean' parameter - no change.
I also tried disabling and reenabling the JST (and nested WTP) feature in
the 'Product Configuration' and the following problem came up: the
features reference plugins 'com.ibm.wtp.emf.workbench'
'com.ibm.wtp.common.util' that are missing from the distribution. Moreover
the plugins are mentioned in <reqiures> section of the feature descriptor,
but don't have corresponding <plugin> sections.
At this point I'm really stuck. I don't have experience in developing
Eclipse extensions, but I'm able to find my way about PDE. I can try
building WTP from source if necessary and doing some debugging, but I need
pointers where to look. All clues will be appreciated.
regards,
Rafal

It sounds like you skipped installing the JEM-runtime download.

I also get a big list of missing jars when I start up eclispe. It says
that the 'web services' feature will not be available... it goes on to
list about 15 jar files....

I just had WTP to work when installing the jar files. (PS: use the ant
script)
You have to have xdoclet installed and configured in preferences/xdoclet,
see the servlet tutorial of wtp
( http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/jst/components/j2ee/scenario s/ServletScenario.html)
hope it can help you

Aha! I used nightly build of JEM instead of the 1.0.2 release mentioned
on the download page. After updating JEM to the right version all the
missing goodies showed up. Thanks a lot!

PS. Regarding the other comments about missing jar files - it's very
easy to get past it if you follow the instrucitons given in the dialog.

I see, so basically I should follow the dialog in order to get WTP to work
corectly. This seems bizzare that these resources arent mentioned on the
WTP download page as being needed for correct operation....
