Installation not working

[apinto]

Hi there,

I'm running Eclipse 3.4.0 (JEE) and installed the latest nightly JBoss Tools build with the .link file in the dropins folder. Eclipse starts without any error, even with the "-debug" switch.

The problem is that I only see a couple references to JBoss Tools in the preferences page:

Preferences -> JBoss jBPM
Preferences -> JBoss Tools -> Packaging Archives

How can I, for example, configure the server location? I can't also find any JBoss perspective, etc..

Can anyone please give me a hint on what might be happening? Thank you, cheers,

AP

I have suffered many times from such weird behaviors.
It turned out there there eclipse p2 updated mechanism is a total mess when you not using their way.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=232094

My advice is painful but this is what only way it worked with me.

Install a fresh copy of ganymede, add the .link for the nightly build then add any other plugins .....

If you you want to to update to another nightly build ,,, repeat the process.

Wouldn't be cool if JBoss had an update site for their nightly builds ?

wouldn't it be cool if eclipse update managers weren't breaking sane stuff ;)

We are working on getting a updatesite for nightly ...
