Cannot install Spring IDE in RAD 7 from update site

[oawad79]

I am trying to install the Spring IDE from the update site in my RAD 7.0.0.6 and when I select the required packages to install I am getting this message

Mylyn Task List (Required) (3.0.0.v20080619-1900) requires plug-in "org.eclipse.ui (3.3.0)", or equivalent.


any idea? does Spring IDE works even on RAD????

Hi,
I have the same kind of problems trying to install Springide on RAD 7.0.0.7.
I've installed previously AJDT 1.4.2 but trying to get springide from "updatesite", l have the following message when selected "Core" :
Spring IDE Core (required) (2.2.1.v200811281800) requiert plug-in "org.apache.commons.logging".

Could it due to the version of Eclipse as RAD 7.0.0.7 is based on Eclipse 3.2.2 ?

thanx in advance

Eclipse 3.2.2 and therefore RAD 7.0.0.7 is not support by Spring IDE since version 2.2 anymore.

The amount of work that goes into maintaining compatibility between 3.2, 3.3, 3.4 and now 3.5 is simply to much. Therefore we dropped 3.2 support and will soon drop 3.3 support when 3.5 is out.

Thanx Christian,

is there a way to get the lastest version of springIde compatible with RAD 7.0.0.7?

Christian, could you estimate when will 3.3 support dropped? Thanks

I tried to install Spring IDE 2.5.0 in RAD 7.5.4 using Software Update and Add on from the update site http://springide.org/updatesite (update site for Eclipse 3.5).

I got the following error:

Cannot find a solution satisfying the following requirements org.apache.commons.logging [1.1.1.v201005080502].

Did anybody ever experience this and know how to fix this?

Thanks,

Until SpringIDE merges patches from springide4rsa you could try to install from these update sites:

http://croz.net/index.php/hrv/tech_b..._5_x_okruzenja


It's not official SpringIDE build, and it's an older 2.5.0 snapshot, but it works for me and my colleagues (at least if it's a clean RSA install - there was a problem during install if older version of SpringIDE was already installed) .

Patches are available from http://github.com/ilx/springide4rsa

P.S. It's probably a good idea to make a backup before you install any 3rd party plugin on top of RSA/RAD.

Can you please retry it and see if it works now. I replaced the jar by a one that definitely works for me (tested on windows with Eclipse 3.2.2 and Java 5).

Let me know if it works now?

Hi Christian,
i have currently started working with RAD 7.0.0.7 and want to utilise spring ide plugins such as the webflow ui editor. i tried to download features from update site http://springide.org/updatesite but to no avail.

I get the error:
Network connection problems encountered during search.
Unable to access "http://springide.org/updatesite".
Unable to access site: "http://springide.org/updatesite" [Operation timed out: connect:could be due to invalid address]

is this due to the fact im going through a proxy or an issue with repositories? if its a proxy issue, anyway i can get around this!?

Thanks,
Shane.

Hey Shane,

the update site that you are using is a bit outdated, but it forwards to the right one. I guess RAD 7.0.0.7 is running on top of an older Eclipse version (maybe 3.5)? Is that correct?

You should be able to use this update site for that:
http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/update/e3.5

If you are not able to connect to this from within your installation, please check your proxy/connection settings: Preferences -> General -> Network Connections. It is a common problem to access the update sites when running behind a firewall with proxies in between. Sometimes the proxy configuration itself also causes problems with this mechanism.

The alternative is to download the archived, zipped update site from http://www.springsource.com/developer/sts (download STS, then expand other downloads) and then use that update site locally (btw, you don't need to extract that ZIP, just add that to the list of available update sites as a local update site archive via the preferences.

As a side note: We don't check compatibility with RAD and I remember some people having trouble with this, so maybe this is not as straight forward as it should be...

HTH,
Martin

Thanks for the reply Martin.

I believe RAD 7.0.0.7 is built on eclipse 3.2.2.

I tried to follow the directions below, which got me further but now complains that
Spring IDE Core (required) (2.5.0.201009031836) requires feature "org.eclipse.jdt (3.3.0)", or later version.

All i can do is wait for RAD to be updated i guess and try again.

I know this is outside the scope of this thread, but how much work is involved you think to migrate to STS? My current development environment they use RAD and websphere. Upon importing the multi module project there is a batch script that runs mvn eclipse:rad. the other issue is they have committed the .settings and project files which is never good either. The application is written using the spring framework, i dont think there is even a need for wrapping the war in an ear apart from deploying to websphere.

I am just wondering is it possible to migrate to STS the project from RAD and deploy as a war to tomcat for development as websphere is so heavy.


Thanks,
Shane.
