Today I wanted to install eclipse SDK 3.4M4 together with RAP.

But when I download RAP from
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/rap/update-site as described in the
GettingStarted documentation, a dialog opens: "No features found on the
selected site(s). Choose a different site or category". What may be the
problem?

- update site down?
- 3.4M4 incompatible with RAP?
- previously I used the sun JDK, now gcj (ubuntu linux).

How can I get more output than this short dialog?

Is there another way to install RAP without using the update site? I
downloaded
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technolo gy/rap/rap-sdk-1.1-M1-site-20080107-1838.zip,
and copied everything below the plugin/ and features/ directory from the
zip file into the corresponding directories of the eclipse installation.
Causing some 100 errors...

Hi Karl,

thanks for the hint. The RAP Tooling works with Eclipse 3.3 and 3.4M4. I
assume that something is wrong with the update-site and will look into
this as soon as possible.
Meanwhile you can use the zipped download-site you mentioned. To install
it,
- unzip the download into a convenient location
- start Eclipse
- Help menu > Software Updates > Find and Install...
- in hte upcoming wizard dialog, choose "Search for new Features..."
and click "Next"
- click the "New local site" button and choose the directory in
which you unzipped the download
- in the upcoming dialog, confirm the name for the update-site
from here on proceed as before.

Cheers,
Rüdiger
