Installation under Eclipse Oxygen (4.7)

Question

Installation under Eclipse Oxygen (4.7)

Closed this issue 7 years ago · 19 comments

Does this plugin work with Eclipse Oxygen? I used the install instructions as specified in the README
but Eclipse is not recognizing it. Any ideas?

Answer 1 · 2017-07-18T13:46:21.000Z

Works for me on Eclipse Oxygen. I put it into the /dropins folder and it was there. I know that Max OS has some different directories though.

Answer 2 · 2017-07-18T13:55:50.000Z

Im running on Linux (RedHat) if that makes any difference. I'm not seeing any errors which is strange. Wendell

Just to be clear I understood the install process...in my /opt/eclipse/dropins folder, I have the following structure: /opt/eclipse/dropins/ermasterr/eclipse/plugins//org.insighttech.er_1.1.13.jar is that correct?

Answer 4 · 2017-07-18T15:10:41.000Z

Well I am using Windows so it's a bit different, but that should be correct. Also I'm using the ZIP-ed edition that I just extracted and ran. So no installer. Maybe try that as well if not already.

Answer 5 · 2017-07-18T15:11:39.000Z

Do you have a link to the zip archive?

The zip/tar archives can be downloaded from:
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/eclipse-packages/?osType=linux&release=undefined

Answer 7 · 2017-07-18T15:32:28.000Z

I tested it on my Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:

Downloaded the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (64 bit) tar and extracted it
Downloaded the 64 bit Oracle Java 8 end extracted it into [eclipse]/jre
Put the ermaster jar into [eclipse]/dropins

And it seems to work without issues.

Answer 8 · 2017-07-18T15:35:44.000Z

Oh I see now that you put the jar file maybe into the wrong directory:
/opt/eclipse/dropins/ermasterr/eclipse/plugins/org.insighttech.er_1.1.13.jar

Should be directly under dropins:
/opt/eclipse/dropins/org.insighttech.er_1.1.13.jar

Answer 9 · 2017-07-18T16:19:51.000Z

Ya, that's where I now have it. Still is not installing it when I restart. This may be a bug on the Linux 32 bit version I guess. Oxygen is just out...so...

Answer 10 · 2017-07-18T17:00:49.000Z

It's possible but also unlikely. Did you have luck with the tar distributions? And instead of using the system Java you could also use an extractable Oracle distribution (extracted under /jre) like my test case scenario.

Answer 11 · 2017-07-18T17:03:26.000Z

I'm using the following java version: java -version java version "1.8.0_91" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_91-b14) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 25.91-b14, mixed mode) RE: the tar distribution...where is that downloadable from? The sourceforge site for ERmaster is no longer functional to install from. I'm trying the to use the ermasterr one but it looks like its only installable via the dropins method.

I meant the tar distribution of Eclipse.

Answer 13 · 2017-07-19T15:14:25.000Z

tried it using the eclipse-cpp-oxygen-R-linux-gtk.tar.gz one...same behaviour.

Answer 14 · 2017-07-19T15:54:02.000Z

missing dependency of the GEF framework. used eclipse -clean -debug -consoleLog
with a .options file in /opt/eclipse containing:

org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/debug=true
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/reconciler=true

this puts nice diagnostics of why the dropins jar was not installing.

Answer 15 · 2017-07-19T16:21:50.000Z

but...I installed the GEF 5.0.0 packages and still issues the WARNING message in the debug output stating that org.insightech.er_1.1.13 dependency on GEF 0.0.0

Wonder where the 0.0.0 dependency is coming from?

Answer 16 · 2017-07-19T18:50:41.000Z

tried it using the eclipse-cpp-oxygen-R-linux-gtk.tar.gz one...same behaviour.

I tested it with eclipse-jee-oxygen-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz (Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers). Maybe you can try that one?

Answer 17 · 2017-07-19T22:06:06.000Z

Wonder where the 0.0.0 dependency is coming from?

This is because no version (range) has been specified for org.eclipse.gef in META-INF/MANIFEST.MF.

but...I installed the GEF 5.0.0 packages [...]

Probably, org.insightech.er requires GEF 3.11 instead of GEF 5.

Answer 18 · 2017-07-20T01:19:18.000Z

David, can you confirm what version of the gef framework you installed on the Ubuntu LTS install?

Answer 19 · 2017-07-20T01:42:10.000Z

downgrading to 3.11 legacy fixed the issue.
