ok - this is the update site for the JBoss IDE 2.0.0.beta2 you guys are working against.

We don't have an update site for the jboss tools at the moment - only nightly builds.

Huh? Not sure why we are getting our wires crossed here. My ignorance I'm sure :)

To recap:
- I install the Jboss tools beta as per instructions. All is good.
- I go to add other plugins that I need to get my work done. Apparently there are errors in the jboss tools beta config that I just downloaded. Not good. My shiny new eclipse environment is basically bricked.
- I fix the errors manually. All is well.

Where doe the Jboss IDE update site come into this?

ah I thought you mean our updatesite when you referred to other update sites....ok if this is the behavior you see when unzipping the nigthly jboss tools (NOT jboss ide 2 beta2?!) then we got an issue we need to fix.

please report in jira - please.

I'm having the issue too. So, I've open a JIRA ticket as requested. It can be found here:

http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-500

Please update the ticket with any additional information you may have.

Thanks.

In my case I'm using a workspace that was previously used with Eclipse 3.2.2 (stable). Eclipse 3.2.2 had an update site configured for JBoss IDE Beta 2. Could this update site be lingering in my workspace leading to the problem?

Another potential clue: If you install Eclipse 3.3, then install the Europa Discovery features, THEN unzip the JBoss Tools, it seems to get father along. I then see JBoss icons and a Red Hat menu that I hadn't seen previously. I'm able to install Subclipse as well without experiencing the previously mentioned error that we all got.

However, sadly after restarting Eclipse after installing Subclipse, the JBoss Tools and Red Hat menu have gone along with any trace of JBoss and Red Hat specific features.

I've updated the JIRA with this information. Could it be that we all just misunderstood the installation instructions somehow? Have we not properly satisfied the dependencies?
