Ted Kirby commented on GERONIMODEVTOOLS-511:
--------------------------------------------

That news item has a bad link.  I recently updated the install doc.  Tim, can 
you update that news link, or tell me how to do it?

>From the Geronimo home page, choose the Development Tools sub-project link 
>from the left-hand nav, near the bottom.  That page gives pre-reqs and install 
>instructions.  I updated the installation page to point back to the pre-req 
>section.  I think I will change this again to put the pre-reqs on the install 
>page, as my plan is to have this info together for each release.

I don't think you have to define a geronimo update site in order for "download 
additional server adapters" to show Geronimo.  I don't recall ever having to do 
this.  I verified it with a fresh install of Ganymede.

I will work to improve the doc.  Tim also has some interest in this JIRA.  He 
may be distracted by upcoming vacation and GEP 2.1.3 release, but I expect to 
see his comments here soon...

>          Components: eclipse-plugin
>    Affects Versions: 2.1.2
>            Reporter: Jürgen Weber
>            Assignee: Tim McConnell
>
> Please provide a zip / tar.gz download of Geronimo Eclipse Plugin complete 
> with all requisites, inclusive a stripped-down Eclipse itself.
> The zip should not contain eclipse as root folder but rather eclipseGeronimo 
> to not overwrite the default Eclipse installation.
> The download options described in 
> http://geronimo.apache.org/development-tools.html
> require that WTP and some more are installed. Installing WTP is error-prone, 
> as it has lots of dependencies you need in the right version. 
> Installing via Eclipse-Help-Software Updates does not work either as the 
> Update manager is not smart enough to install requisites:
> Geronimo v1.0 Server Adapter (2.0.0) requires feature "org.eclipse.jst 
> (2.0.0)", or compatible
> The given ant script does not work behind our firewall, and I am not keen on 
> figuring out how the firewall options of ant work.
