          So, now i inastalled Eclipse Europa,
          dtp-sdk_1.5.zip,
          emf-sdo-xsd-SDK-2.3.0.zip
          GEF-SDK-3.3.zip
          wtp-sdk-R-2.0-200706260303.zip

          and after unzip RichFaces-VPE-win32-200707021659-nightly.zip
          i can't see Red Hat HTML Editor

            baz

            We have installed
            JBossTools-200706290355-nightly-ALL-win32.zip
            on a freshly unzipped eclipse-jee-europa-win32.zip

            After that we have to follow the instructions in this jira issue:
            http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-500

            Thats all. No Update manager .....

            We have also managed to install the subclipse plugin.

              Thanks. With JBossTools-200706290355-nightly-ALL-win32.zip , but what with last build?
              And what if i want to use only JSF capabilies (and Hibernate)?
              No SEAM, No Struts, No jBPM ,no any other s**ts. Is this possible?

                Perhaps someone can answer the question
                Which is the latest reliable version?
                I am using this JBossTools-200706290355-nightly-ALL-win32.zip
                because it is the latest without builderfailures.

                Since all plugins are contained in the above mentioned zip, i suppose that they are also separately installable on top of eclipse-jee-europa-win32.zip
                but you have to try.

                    If you want to test your new product, you must tell us how to install it!!!!!

                      I can not understand where you have problems. The complete suite is easily installable. If you have problems look in the wiki. There is a page about installation of the nightlys.

                      And why do you have the requirement, that you must install only the plugins you use? Eclipse runs fine, even if you do not use some of its plugins.

                      We do not have time to fenter with the dependencies between the plugins. So we unzip eclipse-jee-europa-win32.zip and make an eclipse extension site out of a nightly. Everything installs fine, even for JBossTools-200707031655-nightly-ALL-win32.zip iwe installed today. But we have to edit some feature.xml files according to
                      http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-500

                      If you want only a specific plugin, then try it.

                      My opinion in this case is: The 'Jboss GURUs' should spent there time to stabilize and extend JBoss Tools. When it is ready, than there is time to make a dokumentation about installation of individual plugins.

                      Surely, i have spend much time (more than a day) in figuring out, how to install the nightlys. So i have augmented the wiki page about installation of the nightlys with my gained knowledge.

                        krasig, as been said before the installation is trivial (at least for the full zip) and it is explained on the wiki.

                        If you find versioning issues in the other individual plugins then report it with enough information for us to reproduce in jira.

                          When I install full zip there no problem.
                          But i thinked that will be possible to install only Red Hat editor. May be this was my mistake.

                            Each individual zip file should be installable on its own. so As I said -

                            If you find versioning issues in the other individual plugins then report it with enough information for us to reproduce in jira.
