I am following the instructions for installing the eclipse pluging in the
readme.txt file inside the tools/eclipse/plugins/org.apache.forrest

The first issue arises when I come to import the existing project into
eclipse. Instead of just the plugin, there are other projects to import.
The readme makes no mention of them.
Thanks, for the heads up, we'll update that.
But do I need to import them or not?
Regardless, if I import them or not the actual forrestplugin project has
the following errors
MANIFEST.MF
Can't resolve these
org.eclipse.wst.internet.webbrowser,
Have you installed WTP? Have you installed the prerequisites for WTP?
Yes - I have WTP installed for a few days now, using it on a tapestry
project that I am working on. It works fine.
To check do the following:
start eclipse with forrest -clean to force eclipse to reload all plugins
(need only do this once)
Help -> Software Updates -> Manage COnfiguration
Make sure the "Show disabled features" button is pressed (third from left
on toolbar)
Expand the tree
Are any of your plugins disabled? That is do they show a little red "no
entry" sign on thier icon. If they are have a look at the status of those
plugins to see why.
I can't check right now, because this is all at home on linux, and I am at
work using web mail to access my mail on a windows machine, but I am pretty
certain that I don't have any disabled. As I said above, I have been using
wtp already without forrest for doing some development in tapestry. It all
seems to work.
I just discovered forrest, and can see that it out to help me create my
tapestry templates. Hence the desire to load this plugin.
org.apache.forrest.eclipse.servletEngine
This is one of the projects you must import into your workspace. Do you
have it? (it's in our SVN)
OK I must have it, I downloaded the whole of the forrest trunk with svn
Do these projects cross relate to each other in the dependancies?
src/org/apache/forrest/eclipse/job/ForrestRunner.java
Can't resolve the following import statelments
import org.apache.forrest.eclipse.servletEngine.Jetty;
import org.apache.forrest.eclipse.servletEngine.Server;
import org.eclipse.wst.internet.webbrowser.internal.Trace;
import org.eclipse.wst.internet.webbrowser.internal.WebBrowserUIPlugin;
These will go away when you solve the above issues.
I actually set up wtp all in one package (includes eclipse and wtp all
together), and all the other prerequisits mentioned seem also to be
installed. So what am I missing?
What do you mean you got one package for Eclipse + WTP? Can you point me
to the lcoation you downloaded this? I'm not aware of such a package.
In my experience WTP is very much dependant on specific versions of its
pre-requisites, it is important to ensure you have the exact versions they
specifiy on their downloads page.
Its a bit difficult to get the right url, because the actual page that shows
the downloads seems have embedded frames which are dynamically created
depended on when they make a snapshot. However, I _think_ this works
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R-0.7-200507290654/
to get you the particular embedded frame. The normal approach to getting to
this page is to go to www.eclipse.org, and follow the download links for wtp
and select the 0.7 release.
On this page you will see varying options for the wtp tools. The first one
is the all-in-one package that should also contain all the pre requisites.
This is the version that I downloaded (linux version) and set up. This is
the one that I have been using already to create my tapestry projects with
