I've tried to install the Backbase 4.1 plugin into Rational Application Developer 7.1 and receive:
Backbase Client Framework(4.1.0) requires feature "org.eclipse.wst (1.5.0)" or later version.
All of the RAD 7 WST versions in RAD 7 are at 1.5.5x, do I have to downgrade these features in order to use the Backbase 4.1 plugin?
This is very disappointing, in that this probably means I can't install the plugin in RAD 7. I'm fairly sure that downgrading wst (if even possible) will break other RAD/Eclipse components.
Has anyone installed the BB 4.1 plug-in successfully in RAD 7?
Thanks,
David
RAD Officially not supported at now
21 December, 2007 - 11:15 — sundarHi David,
We don't support IBM rad officially at now. Even though you can install Backbase client edition plugin in RAD, in 2 ways.
Solution1: edit package
-----------------------
Reason it failes to install, RAD validation is bit diffrent from eclipse, In backbase plugin dependency we say wst 1.5.0 or greater required. But RAD understood it works only 1.5.0.
You can change this dependency your self, by editing plugin dependency, todo this follow the steps.
2) Open features folder.
3) There you can find "com.backbase.bpc.feature_[version].jar" file.
4) Open that jar file inside that you can find "feature.xml" file.
5) Open that feature.xml file in editor like wordpad.
6) Remove the following lines, that appears in bottom of file
<requires>
<import feature="org.eclipse.wst" version="1.5.0" match="greaterOrEqual"/>
</requires>
7) Update all your archive now with this edited file.
8) Install it the updated package with RAD update manager.
Solution 2: Extract the plugins manualy in to RAD
-------------------------------------------------
2) make sure all backbase "plugin" content is inside "IBM\SDP70\plugins" and features inside "IBM\SDP70\features"
Note: Both solution works fine, Same time we don't encourage our customer editing package. It's temporary solution for RAD users.
