Ted Kirby commented on GERONIMODEVTOOLS-511:
--------------------------------------------
It turns out that WTP knows about
http://www.apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/updates/, and queries this (our)
site for server adapters, specifically any features tagged with
org.eclipse.wst.server.core.serverAdapter, and then filter out any old versions.
In my test, I did use a freshly installed copy of Eclipse. I have never heard
about having to add the update site URL for that function to work. In our
install instructions
(http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/how-to-install-geronimo-eclipse-plugin.html),
the first option is to use Download Additional Server Adapters. The second is
to use our eclipse update site. If you have to add the update site, I figure
you may as well install with it using the instructions.
> Provide zip download of Geronimo Eclipse Plugin complete with requisites

> Key: GERONIMODEVTOOLS-511
> URL:
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-511
> Project: Geronimo-Devtools
> Issue Type: Wish
> 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.
