Installing the client into Eclipse v3.5.x (p2 install)

You can install the Rational Team Concert client into Eclipse v3.5.x from the Help > Install New Software menu in Eclipse.

About this task

The Client for Eclipse 3.5.x (p2 Install) is a .zip file that uses an Eclipse update site (or p2 repository) to get Rational Team Concert client features, bundles, and its EMF and GEF dependencies.

To install the client:

Procedure

  1. Download and install Eclipse v3.5 from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ or one of the Eclipse mirror sites.
  2. Extract the .zip file to a directory. For example, C:\dev\eclipse-rtc.
  3. Double-click the eclipse.exe executable file in C:\dev\eclipse-rtc\eclipse to open it.
    • You need a v1.5 Java Virtual Machine (JVM) in your path for this to work. If needed, you can add the JVM path to the C:\dev\eclipse-rtc\eclipse\eclipse.ini file by adding the following two lines to the file just before vmargs:
      -vm
      C:\path\to\java.exe
  4. Download the Client for Eclipse 3.5.x (p2 Install) from the Rational Team Concert download page.
  5. Extract the .zip file to a directory. For example, C:\dev. It extracts to C:\dev\rtc-p2-repository.
  6. Start Eclipse and select Help > Install New Software.
  7. In the Available Software window, click Add. In the Add Site window, click Local and navigate to the rtc-p2-repository folder that you extracted in step 5. Click OK.
  8. In the next window, ensure that Group items by category and Contact all update sites are selected. Select Rational Team Concert and optionally select one or both NLS categories to install the language packs.
  9. Click Next, then Next again in the Install Details window.
  10. After you accept the terms of the license agreement, click Finish. A security warning window opens during the installation because the Rational Team Concert client bundles and features are not signed. Click OK to complete the installation. Click Yes when prompted to restart at the end of the installation.
