Installing the client in Eclipse v3.5.x (Extension install)

You can install the Rational Team Concert client into Eclipse v3.5.x by simply extracting the .zip file contents to the root of an Eclipse installation, which puts the Rational Team Concert client binaries and its EMF and GEF dependencies in your Eclipse environment.

About this task

To install the client:

Procedure

  1. Download and install Eclipse v3.5.x 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 must have the 1.5 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 (Extension Install) from the Rational Team Concert download page.
  5. Extract the .zip file to the root of the Eclipse directory that you specified in step 2 (For example, C:\dev\eclipse-rtc\eclipse). The following folders are added to your Eclipse installation: emf, gef, jazz, license, links.
  6. Double-click the eclipse.exe file to start the client.
