Installing eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) - update site does not work?

You can try and install WTP through the main Ganymede update site.

You can try and install WTP through the main Ganymede update site: download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/ Or you can download the latest JEE bundle and use that instead of your current Eclipse (do NOT unpack it on top of your current Eclipse, but unpack it elsewhere, to test that second installation: it will come with WTP inside) Note: check then "How do I start Eclipse" to point to your existing workspace in order to see all your previous project in your new Eclipse installation. As mentioned in your link, XSL Tools is now part of WTP (for Eclipse 3.5 Galileo), and that may explain why your Eclipse Ganymede (3.4) might not interpret correctly the P2 update site for WTP (P2 being the new Eclipse provisioning mechanism introduced late in the 3.4 release cycle) For Eclipse 3.5, you have an XSL Tools installation illustrated here: But Eclipse3.4 is more likey to be compatible with XSLT0.5 and you will need a separate installation, because "XSL Tools" wasn't yet part of WTP. I am not sure, however, where to find such an installation package within the Eclipse projects.

VonC: I looked in the Software Update window under Ganymede Site Update. I found "Web and Java EE Development" and truth be told, I had already installed the XML/XSL-related tools. Nothing seemed to change so I posted here.Do I actually have to install ALL of the web dev tools just for the XSLT pieces that I want?

Is there a way that we (the developers with Eclipse 3.4) can do an in-place upgrade to 3.5 to get the XSL parts installed (I really don't want to have to go through the support teams to get a new version installed)? – FrustratedWithFormsDesigner Feb 23 '10 at 19:26 1 Thank you, using the update site for Eclipse 3.5 Galileo worked for me. WTP's independent update site is useless.

– Cerin Feb 23 '10 at 13:45 The independent site stopped being used around when the simultaneous releases started happening, except for releases that didn't coincide with them. Older releases might still be there. – nitind Feb 23 '10 at 2:17.

The site for the WTP update is indeed the one you've listed. Maybe post a screenshot? You've added it specifically to your remote update site list?

Either way try a manual update which should be more reliable and get you up and running for now. All-In-One Update (Eclipse IDE included): Go to the Eclipse Download site. Grab the all-in-one package: Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers Install, have a coffee and enjoy.

(WTP is included) Manual Update your existing installation of Eclipse: Download the applicable WTP source package to your desktop Shutdown Eclipse Extract the package to your Eclipse installation directory Startup Eclipse. (WTP is now available).

Mat Nadrofsky: Manual update is looking like the best bet. Do you know if it (XSLT tools) will work with Eclipse 3.4? – FrustratedWithFormsDesigner Feb 23 '10 at 19:36 @Mat: So I tried this: I downloaded the non-SDK version of WTP, and then copies the contents of the downloaded plugins directory to my installation's plugins directory (and did the same with the features directory).

It doesn't look like anything's changed, as if Eclipse doesn't even load the plugins. Of course, I'm not sure I installed it right, or that it will work with Eclipse 3.4... – FrustratedWithFormsDesigner Feb 25 '10 at 21:59 Can you just start over completely? Download the all-in-one package, rename your existing Eclipse folder, and extract the new Eclipse install?

I'm willing to bet you've got some funky stuff going on with your existing folder. Sometimes it's best to start over with a clean slate. – Mat Nadrofsky Feb 26 '10 at 14:12 Interesting, I just notice in the "About Eclipse" window, there is now a WTP button, and if I click on it I get info about all the WTP components installed.

Unfortunately, I still don't have access to the XSLT run configuration. – FrustratedWithFormsDesigner Feb 26 '10 at 15:07 Here's a sample from the error eclipse log (many other WTP-related messages):! MESSAGE Unable to satisfy dependency from org.eclipse.wst.xsl.jaxp.

If so, you need to make sure you configure your proxy settings in Eclipse. Window > Preferences General > Network Connections.

There is a corporate proxy, but I've installed other 3rd party plugins, and other Eclipse plugins from the main Eclipse site, so I don't think the local Network folk are blocking this. – FrustratedWithFormsDesigner Feb 23 '10 at 18:31.

Ok, I can probably get it working if I do a clean install of Eclipse. I can do that on my machine, but not the other team members' machines (at least not without going through many emails and paper work) so I'm going to say that XCarecrows 4 XML is the solution. It is able to do XSL transformations in Eclipse 3.4 and doesn't require anything else to be installed.

Since XSLT is all I need, the plugin will do.

Glad to hear you got it figured out for your setup anyhow. :) – Mat Nadrofsky Mar 1 '10 at 18:18 @Mat: It had been a few years since I'd managed my own Eclipse install, and the terrible mess that is Eclipse (too many flavours and versions, and just as many version compatibility issues! ) has reminded me why I started switching all my personal (at home) projects over to NetBeans.

I will still probably try to see if the JavaEE flavrour of Eclipse is better, so we can standardize this project's (long-term) development on it, but that will just have to wait until there is time. – FrustratedWithFormsDesigner Mar 1 '10 at 22:10.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
