Are you ...

using Java 5 or 6?
on Linux? Or Mac, or Windows?

Did you...

install the WTP, EMF, XSD, BIRT, TPTP requirements along with the JBoss Tools features? (Check what's been installed from About > Eclipse).

Are there...

any useful error messages in your ~/workspace/.metadata/.log file, or in the Error view?

Have you...

read the http://wiki.eclipse.org/IRC_FAQ on installing stuff into Eclipse, starting Eclipse, setting commandline flags or using eclipse.ini?

Does that...

help?

Also, when you say "manually" what do you mean?

Did you read the http://www.jboss.org/tools/download/installation guide?

for" manully".i mean installing jbosstools in the dropins file or by links way.of course i read the http://www.jboss.org/tools/download/installation and did it according to it .but only Guvnor appears in the file of eclipse.and jboostools are showed in the installed software.

[lili001]

now,it is ok,i just added site http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development by manage sites.then installed seam tools.before i added http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable by "add site'button.

Glad to hear your issue is resolved. In general, using an update site is better than using Dropins because p2 will guarantee you get all the requirements.

(That said, sometimes the network dies and you have to shut down Eclipse and try the install again to pick up the requirements from a different (non-broken) mirror.)
