How to verify that WebTools Platform is successfully installed? [message #212311] Mon, 14 April 2008 13:59 Go to next message

I downloaded wtp-S-3.0M6-20080404175400.zip
and extracted it into the appropriate directories of my Eclipse v3.2.2 installation.

Do I have to do something more to get WTP working ?

How can I verify that everything is successfully installed?

Are there any special menus in Eclipse which should appear after the WTP installation?

Jeff,

Help->About Eclipse SDK and looking at features or plugins should let
you confirm the version that's active and present.

There would be additional entries in the Preferences dialog, but you
won't get a working installation mixing 3.0M6 with Eclipse
3.2.2--the 3.0 milestones are built for Eclipse 3.4 milestones. The
easiest way to get WTP it is to start with the Eclipse IDE for Java
EE Developers, available from
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/moreinfo/jee.php . It includes
Eclipse 3.2.2 with the latest WTP release, currently 2.0.2. You can
also download WTP 2.0.2 directly from
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/, as long as you take
note of and also install the "Required Prerequisites" listed at the top.

I'm no expert on web tools prerequisites, but I'm pretty sure that the
very latest and greatest version of WTP (3.0M6) won't work with Eclipse
3.2.2. It almost certainly uses features available only in the 3.3
stream.

If you just want to use web tools, I recommend that you download one of
the packaged IDEs for it from the downloads page [1]. If you really want
to use the latest and greatest (i.e. pre-release software), grab the
Ganymede milestone from the M5 packages page [2].

HTH,

And, since it's not a commercial product, I feel safe putting in a plug
for Pulse (www.poweredbypulse.com) which will not only help you get all
this that you want (solving the very question you've just asked), but
will help you set up a profile so that you can duplicate it a) for
yourself on a subsequent development host and b) share your profile and
therefore development environment with others.

Hello Jeff,

To check whether it's working or not launch eclipse, go to help -> about
eclipse ...-> configuration details.

Press "Copy to Clipboard" and then paste to some text editor.

Search for word "installed" in front of plugins - installed means that
plugin is not started.

There are several reasons for that: newer version of same plugin exists or
some dependency missing.

To make sure you install with all dependencies in place, use update site of
WTP project.

WTP will complain immediately if something missing.

http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/

Or use Europa update (3.2.2 should have link to Europa by default):

Go to Help -> Software Updates -> Find And Install -> Search For New
Features for Install. Select Europa there.

And when you select features to install uncheck "show the latest version
only" at the bottom - 3.2.2 is a bit old. Select WTP version (1.5 for 3.2.2
I guess) and if you see message on the top that something missing - press
"Select Required" button.

Hope it helps.

Vlad.

Assuming you unzipped the four prerequisite archives too, no.

Window > Show View > Other... Plug-in Regsitry

The now appearing Plug-in registry view displays all currently
available Plug-ins of your Eclipse instance.

You should see a bunch of org.eclipse.jst.* and org.eclipse.wst.*
plug-ins. Quickly browse through the list and check that no plug-in icon
has a red error marker.

Yes, WTP adds many things. One of the easiest to check is whether the
WTP specific project types are avialbe in the new project wizard:

File > New Project > Other

WTP is installed if project categories like EJB, Web, ... show up.

You should see manifestations of WTP in the Preferences dialog. For
example, "Server" and "Web and XML" top-level categories.
You can also open Help > About Eclipse > Plugin Details... and look for
plugins that begin with org.eclipse.wst.*(specifically,
org.eclipse.wst.webtools.doc.user)
Also, in the Run dialog you should see a category named "Run on Server"

Hope this helps,
Eric
