It is not a requirement to install JBoss Tools, only that Eclipse knows where to find those JBoss Tools dependencies when it's installing our plugin.
So there are three choices
- install using DevStudio, which already has JBoss Tools installed by default, thus Eclipse knows where to find the deps or
- install using a vanilla distro of Eclipse and our composite update site (http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/stable/updates/rhamt/), which will automatically detect and pickup JBoss Tools or
- install using a vanilla distro of Eclipse and our direct update site (http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/stable/updates/rhamt/4.2.0.Final/) and then manually add the JBoss Tools update site location (eg https://devstudio.redhat.com/10.0/stable/updates/)

@huffmanca I like to encourage people to use our composite update site (http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/stable/updates/rhamt/) because in addition to automatically picking up JBoss Tools, it will pick up our latest release, which is ideal for bug fixes, patches, etc

I'm attempting #2 above, using the following steps:
- Install a fresh copy of Eclipse Photon.
- Go to Help -> Install New Software
- Click Add
- In
Name, defineRHAMT. - In
Location, definehttp://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/photon/stable/updates/rhamt/. - Click Add
- Check
JBoss Tools - RHAMT - Click Next
At this point I get the same error reported in WINDUP-2245 regarding missing dependencies. Installing JBoss Tools manually, or using JBDS, resolves this issue.
Is there a step I'm missing?

I'm going to go ahead and merge this one since it does work around the issue, and the release is quickly approaching. If we want to change these steps we can open a JIRA, or reopen this one, and address it moving forward. |
This includes the instructions for adding JBoss Tools into an Eclipse installation.
