Shiva Kumar H R commented on GERONIMODEVTOOLS-204:
--------------------------------------------------
Used latest GEP (built from trunk) with "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
(126MB)"
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/europa/winter/eclipse-jee-europa-winter-win32.zip
and tested the instructions at
http://cwiki.apache.org/geronimo/java-ee-50-app-development-on-geronimo-simplified-using-eclipse.html
on Apache Geronimo v2.1, and all steps are working correctly!
So GEP 2.1's pre-requisite from now on will be just a single file:
1) "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" available from
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
(This has Eclipse 3.3.2, WTP 2.0.2, DTP 1.5.2, EMF 2.3.2, GEF 3.3.2 all packed
in a single file of just 126MB! So no more hassles of downloading multiple
pre-requisite files)
Home page http://geronimo.apache.org/development-tools.html must be updated
accordingly.
> Change pre-requisite from current "wtp-all-in-one-sdk-* (266MB)" to "Eclipse
> IDE for Java EE Developers (125MB)"

> Project: Geronimo-Devtools
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: eclipse-plugin
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0
> Reporter: Shiva Kumar H R
> Assignee: Tim McConnell
>
> Geronimo Eclipse Plug-in (GEP) v2.0 currently has following pre-requisites:
> 1 -- Eclipse Classic 3.3
> 2 -- Web Tools Platform (WTP) 2.0
> 3 -- Data Tools Platform (DTP) 1.5
> 4 -- Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) 2.3
> 5 -- Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) 3.3
> A wtp-all-in-one-sdk-* bundle that includes all the above 5 pre-requisites
> can be downloaded from
> http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R2.0/R-2.0-200706260303/
> and it has a size of around 260MB.
> eclipse.org starting with Europa release (http://www.eclipse.org/europa/)
> have a new package by name "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" with a size
> of just "125MB" (no source bundles included) and has all the pre-requistes
> for GEP.
> GEP should be updated to utilize this new package of smaller download size.
> (This was attempted in GERONIMODEVTOOLS-180 and due to some problems faced,
> this has been deferred to GEP 2.1).
