How to install Maven in RAD 8.5.1? - maven

Unable to install Maven in RAD 8.5.1 using the update site.
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse 1.0.0.20110607-2117 (org.eclipse.m2e.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.20110607-2117)
Missing requirement: m2e Marketplace 1.0.0.20110607-2117 (org.eclipse.m2e.discovery 1.0.0.20110607-2117) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.equinox.p2.operations 0.0.0' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse 1.0.0.20110607-2117 (org.eclipse.m2e.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.20110607-2117)
To: org.eclipse.m2e.discovery [1.0.0.20110607-2117]

It took me a bit of effort to figure this out, so here's an expanded answer:
In the IBM Installation Manager, click "Modify".
Find the IBM Software Delivery Platform that includes IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software 8.5
Click "Next" to get to the language page
Click "Next" to get to the feature selection page
Maven is listed under IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere -> Collaborative development and build tools
Click "Next", then "Modify" and let the installation manager do its thing.

Eclipse Marketplace option not available in Help menu

Eclipse Marketplace option not available in Help menu.
If link is available to install Marketplace client in STS 3.8.4 would be useful,
so that i can install marketplace via Install new software.
Open the Spring Dashboard, go to IDE Extensions and install Spring IDE(Tool support for the Spring Framework), restart the IDE and the option will appear. That works for me in STS 3.8.4
Use this link to install market place as new software.
https://www.l3harrisgeospatial.com/docs/installnewsoftware.html
URL for market place install is : http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2019-12
2019-12 represent eclipse version you are using for me it was 2020-06 {version :4.16}
hence URL for me changed to http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2020-06
then restart the IDE.
search for Spring ide in market place after reopening it will show version 3 tool.

Dev Studio 10.3 - connector discovery completed without finding any connectors jboss developer studio

I get this error when trying to look at available packages in Red Hat JBoss Central. This seems to be because of some missing files on the update site.
How did you install devstudio 10.3?
Into your own Eclipse (from update site, from Marketplace, from zip), via rpm, or via installer jar? If into Eclipse, which package (JavaEE, Java, C/C++, etc.) and which source did you use?
Are you behind a firewall/proxy? What OS are you running? Which version of JDK are you using?
Just tried to install everything from Central from devstudio-10.3.0.GA-v20170218-1636-B94-installer-standalone.jar installation on Fedora 24 and it works for me.

Maven for Eclipse IBM RAD 8.5

I use RAD 8.5 and I am trying to get maven plugin, however, when I go to Help -> Preferences I don't see a maven section. So I tried to go to IBM Installation Manager and it doesn't open. Do I have to install maven from Help -> install new software -> then http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases? Or is that unnecessary?
Starting RAD 8.5.1 there's built-in support for Maven
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27024363#whatsnew_851_maven
Make sure you have this version and if so, use Installation Manager to update your installation with this new feature. If you don't have RAD 8.5.1 you can use steps provided in this thread to install it from Eclipse Marketplace, although I can't really assure you it will work.

Configure IBM WAS Liberty V8.5.5.6 & eXreme Scale

I am attempting (and failing) to configure a development environment as follows:-
Eclipse 4.5 for Java EE Developers (Mars).
WebSphere Developer Tools
IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale v8.5 Liberty Profile Developer Tools
WebSphere eXtreme Scale V8.6 for Developers - Liberty Profile
WAS Liberty V8.5.5.6 with Java EE 7 Full Platform
The issues I have relate to my organisations security constraints related to downloading resources from external web sites.
I can successfully configure the following separate environments
eXtreme Scale
Eclipse 4.5 for Java EE Developers (Mars).
WebSphere Developer Tools into Eclipse
WebSphere eXtreme Scale V8.6 for Developers - Liberty Profile
WAS Liberty Beta v9 with OSGi Applications
JEE7
Eclipse 4.5 for Java EE Developers (Mars).
WebSphere Developer Tools into Eclipse
WAS Liberty V8.5.5.6 with Java EE 7 Full Platform
My two blockers are
Eclipse eXtreme Scale tools
IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale v8.5 Liberty Profile Developer Tools
Are only available as an Update Site. I can only install eclipse tools as zip archives.
Are these Eclipse tools available as a zip archive?
OSGi Blueprint
This feature is only installable using the command line
bin/installUtility install blueprint-1.0
Is this feature available as a jar download?
About Eclipse eXtreme Scale tools. You can get the zip version here,
http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/extremescale/eclipse/localSite/localUpdateSite.zip
However, this tool will only work up to Eclipse Juno. More information here,
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/ibm-websphere-extreme-scale-v86-liberty-profile-developer-tools
About OSGi Blueprint. AFAIK, there is no zip version. If there is a firewall issue, consider installing the required Liberty Runtime stack, zip it up and put it in the required machine.
btw, you may also need wab-1.0 as well as blueprint-1.0. Here is the information,
https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/downloads/#asset/features-com.ibm.websphere.appserver.wab-1.0

Maven plugin for RAD 7.5.5

i have to migrate some project from Eclipse to RAD 7.5.5
Now i'm trying to install a maven plugin like i had on Eclipse, but i can't find it, i tried
http://repository.sonatype.org/content/sites/forge-sites/m2e
http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-e34/
http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
those sites that i found on web when i go for:
Help>Software Updates>Aviable Software>Add sites
gives to me "no repository found"
So i need a working repository to install Maven.
I found that this maven/rad version is very aged, so it can be hard to find now.
Any .zip file will be fine also.
First of all, RAD 7.5.x is not supported anymore by IBM (EOS dated on September 30, 2014), so my first advice is to move up to a newer version and I have the feeling that RAD includes Maven support since 8.5.1. Latest version out there is 9.1.1.
http://www-01.ibm.com/software/support/lifecycleapp/PLCDetail.wss?synkey=W170532D29019M02-L603472G19375Q17-M054243E02973V75
Second, honestly I don't recall which version of Eclipse is used in RAD 7.5.x. If it is older than Eclipse 3.6 then I don't think there is any integration for it. Try this repo
http://download.eclipse.org/m2e-wtp/releases/juno/
Here is the M2E for WTP site in Eclipse Marketplace
