Error while installing SwitchYard in Eclipse

[gurpreet]

I am trying to install SwitchYard in Eclipse Juno 3.8 by following steps mentioned under section 'Development Builds' on below link:

https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/SWITCHYARD/Installing+Eclipse+Tooling.

When I attempt to update (offline/online) SwitchYard Tools; the wizard throws below error message:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

Software being installed: SwitchYard Editor 0.7.0.v20130109-0353-H243-CI (org.switchyard.tools.editor.feature.feature.group 0.7.0.v20130109-0353-H243-CI)

I also tried performing the same on different version i.e. Eclipse Juno 4.2 but still faced similar errors. Any idea what can be the problem here?

Thank you.

You want to use Eclipse 4.2, which is Juno.  The instructions on that page are for SY 0.8 and you are installing SY 0.7:

SwitchYard Editor 0.7.0.v20130109-0353-H243-CI

Get the offline site assembly from here:

http://www.jboss.org/switchyard/downloads

Hi Keith,

I downloaded SwitchYard 0.8 zip and added it to Available Software Sites. Then I clicked Reload button to update the software and I got 'No repository found...' error message. I checked the location of zip file and it is correct.

Please find the attached screenshot.

Thanks.

That's because you downloaded the wrong zip.  Go with the site assembly.

The plugins in the editor feature were rolled into the main "SwitchYard" feature in 0.8.  From 0.8 on, there is no editor feature, but if you're using the composite update site (i.e. the one with 0.7, 0.8 and 1.0), you will continue to see this feature.  It is safe to simply deselect it if you are installing any version past 0.7.

Hope that helps.  Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Keith,

The error message provided by me in the screenshot is incomplete (the scrollbar appeared disabled to me and I did not scroll to see the entire message... my bad) The error was occurring primarily due to missing library. I have attached a screeshot with the entire message. Below is what I did to resolve the issue:

Step1:

I added following sites to Available Software Sites so that eclipse is able to download and resolve dependencies at runtime while installing switchyard:

a. http://download.eclipse.org/m2e-wtp/releases/
b. http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/juno/
c. http://download.eclipse.org/bpmn2-modeler/site/0.2.4/

Step2:

Downloaded offline switchyard-site-assembly-0.8.0.Final.zip from http://www.jboss.org/switchyard/downloads

Step3:

In Eclipse -> Help -> Install New Software... -> Add -> Archive... Selected the zip and installed it successfully.

Thanks for your help.
