Subclipse RAD 7 cannot compare JS - subclipse

I cant seem to compare two JS files (one edited locally and the latest version from the repository when doing Team Synch or Compare With) using Subversion in IBM RAD 7. I have used Subclipse as a plugin version 1.6.8.
I have totally downgraded to Subclipse 1.6.5 because my team mate's IDE (also RAD 7) is working fine on this subclipse version when comparing JS files.
I have also looked up and seems we have both the same version of RAD 7.
Frantically looked for solutions on the net and found nothing.
Sorry if this is the place to look for support. I was attempting to upgrade my RAD but darn the fix packs are so huge even for a little fixes (other fixes I mean)(shoo IBM).
Does anyone have a workaround?

I cant find the workaround so I just patiently downloaded the updates from IBM sigh.
Updating to RAD 7.5.5 fixes the problem

How do I install an older release of Visual Studio 2017?

I brought up a new VS2017 dev environment at work yesterday, which means I got the recently released version 15.3. I'm getting an internal compiler error on a VC++ project that nobody else in the organization is getting; everyone else is still on 15.2. To test my theory that the 15.3 update may have broken something, I want to install VS2017 15.2 (or even 15.1 or 15.0). But I can't figure out how to do that. When I run the 15.0 or 15.1 bootstrapper, it still tries to install 15.3.
I've already gone over this guide for creating offline installations but it doesn't say anything about getting an older release. I found a guide here that shows how to use a specific release with VS2015, but I can't find anything for VS2017.
My work gave me an MSDN account (Visual Studio Professional), which offers older bootstrapper downloads, but does not offer full offline installation downloads for older releases.
How do I install VS2017 15.2 (or 15.1, or 15.0) when 15.3 has already been deployed by Microsoft?
There is support for downloading a prior version, but evidently you have to contact support for the link. None of the links on any of the pages I could find within the VisualStudio.com site referenced it.
Installing an earlier release of Visual Studio 2017
Be sure to take the time to read the "[no]support policy" regarding "earlier" releases. Essentially, the day they released version 15.4, version 15.3.5 was no longer supported.
On another note, I have noticed many people seem to respond (here and on other similar postings) along the lines of "Why on earth would you want to reinstall the same version you were working with instead of the latest release?". Note that I am para-phrasing that to clarify the sentiments commonly expressed.
The reason is because TEAMS of developers need to be on the SAME version of the tool set. They have deadlines and cannot afford to drop everything and switch everybody to a new version of the tools that may or may not work correctly for them. Even if the developers were willing to take that hit to their productivity, usually their managers are not. This is why taking away the option to install the previous version the very same day you make a new release available is an unacceptable practice for Enterprise or Professional grade development software.
Another common reason is that when bugs have to be fixed in software, you often need to use the same, or very close to same, version of the tools to rebuild it after fixing the bug. The costs of regression testing after forcing a non-trivial upgrade on an entire software product or suite is unacceptable to most organizations. Upgrading may not even be an option due to contractual obligations.
It seems that based on this article that Microsoft do not offer a mechanism to download any version of Visual Studio 2017.
The https://my.visualstudio.com site offers bootstrap downloaders for 15.0 and 15.3 only. Intermediate versions such as 15.1 and 15.2 are not available as of September 2017.
I have a modest sized engineering team that would quite like to stay with 15.2 even for new starts and this is quite frustrating as we didn't capture an offline install of anything other than 15.0!
Apparently its possible to install a older version in parallel to a newer one. I just downloaded 15.6.7 from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/productinfo/installing-an-earlier-release-of-vs2017 and started the install - it didnt touch my existing installation 15.9.19
But the probably better solution is just to install the toolset which is available separately for each VC2017 release. See this intersting article:

Warning major version 52 is newer than 51, the highest major version supported by this compiler

Basicly I'm super newbie and started internship in IT company. I installed VS with Xamarin. The problem that I'm facing is very frustrating. So even when i create empty project I can't compile it and get error like this :
Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State
Warning major version 52 is newer than 51, the highest major version supported by this compiler.
I searched all over google and asked so many people and still no fix of my problem. If anybody can help me via skype or teamwiever i will APPRECIATE so much. My skype: toniterdal , feel free to add me.
I was having the same issue, and tearing my hair out. I had the JDK Version 8 installed, but these warnings wouldn't go away, and eventually they generated a build-breaking error.
When I went to Tools -> Options -> Xamarin, and looked at the Android Settings, the Java Development Kit Location was pointing to jdk.1.7.xxxx, in Program Files (x86).
I changed it to 1.8.0_101, in Program Files. Then I restarted Visual Studio, and the same error happened again. Somehow, Visual Studio was detecting Version 7 of the JDK and pointing it to that automatically.
So the solution turned out to be very simple. As well as installing Version 8 of the JDK, UNINSTALL Version 7 of the JDK. As soon as I did that, Xamarin turned out to be much better behaved. This step solved a whole bunch of seemingly unrelated problems.
That error is telling you that the Java Class version that is being loaded was compiled with Java 8 (52) but Java 7 (51) is trying to load that compiled class.
Java 7 uses major version 51
Java 8 uses major version 52
Check which Java version(s) are installed on your machine and review Xamarin's requirements and Java installation steps (linked below)
Installing the Java SDK (JDK)
For people having problems with setting the appropriate JDK version, you might want to try to override this setting in the vs2015 options dialog:
Delete bin folder and obj folder and run the project it will be work fine
You have a bad proguard.jar file, you need to replace this .jar by a correct version. The steps below describing how to do that. Some colleagues had the same problem here.
Go to Preferences => SDK locations and copy the Android SDK location.
Go to that folder (mostly /Users/USERNAME/Library/Developer/Xamarin/android-sdk-macosx) and go to the folder tools/proguard/lib.
Here you find a proguard.jar.
Rename this to proguard_OLD.jar.
Download the last proguard file (like this one https://sourceforge.net/projects/proguard/files/)
Unzip and place the proguard.jar in the tools/proguard/lib folder
Rebuild your Project
Everything should be fixed!
You can find more info about the bug here:
https://releases.xamarin.com/technical-bulletin-android-sdk-build-tools-24/
For me worked to change the SDK as well, but under Options->Xamarin->Android Settings, I don't have Cross Platform in Options for VS 2015Pro
Note for Windows 64 bit users, the JDK has to be the x86 version not the x64 version.
E.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.8.0_111
Kaloyan you can find the setting for the Java SKD under Tools->Options and the click on Xamarin in the Options list, then select Android Settings. I installed the latest Java version (8.0.111) and then did a clean on my project and it runs fine now with no errors. Thank you everyone for your posts!
In my case, i had to reinstall the JDK 8 (the last version) because other versions JDK 7 couldnt work even with new projects or clean up projects, and also i had to do a clean install of the android sdk.
This is how I solved the same issue I faced today:
From Control Panel > Uninstall a Program > uninstall the older Java versions which are on your system.
You should only have Jdk 1.8 and Jre 1.8 on your system.
Now go to C:/Program Files/Java and delete all older java versions.
If you have setup your JDK 1.8 and JRE 8 in C:/Program Files (x86)/Java then cut paste them into C:/Program Files/Java folder.
Then I restarted IntelliJ IDE which I am using. It automatically asked to update the path of SDK. Update the path to point to Jdk 1.8 and then I recompiled my files and things started working well.
Hope it works for you too!
In my case, I had just deleted .class files and worked fine.

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

.net framework 4 on windows server 2008

Ive got an issue, wich I just can not figure out how to fix. Ive got a pc with windows server 2008 and .net frameork 4.5 installed on it. Ive tried to run there appliction, that is running on .net framework 4.5, but it shows me an error .net framework 4 requied. Ive uninstalled NF4.5 and installed NF4 and.... the error is still there. Ive tried to compile a different application targetting .nf4(just a default informs project in VS) and it shows me the same error hen running on this PC. Searching gave me no results on this issue... Maybe somebody could help me?
Thank You very much for your attention and sorry for my bad english.
I found the solution some time ago, but had no time to answer it here. As I found out it as windows server 2008 RC, not release version and .net framework 4 or 4.5 coul be installed on it, but it will never pass the check if it is installed. So? it is a bug, but only in RC version, that is not supported by microsoft quite a long time.

Is current ankhsvn version compatible with current svn? version

Running on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Windows 7 client.
I downloaded and installed VisualSVN Server 2.5.2 without a problem. The page here indicates that this is built against Subversion 1.7.2.
I downloaded and installed TortoiseSVN 1.7.3 without a problem. The page here indicates that this is built against Subversion 1.7.2.
Now I would like to install ankhsvn for use with Visual Studio 2010. The latest version is 2.3.10509 and the page here indicates that this is built against Subversion 1.7.1.
Does anyone know if this will run correctly against my SVN server? Or do I need to wait until ankhsvn release a version built agains SVN 1.7.2? If I need to wait, how promptly do ankhsvn releases usually appear?
Source control is obviously critical so I don't want to risk losing any data by "just trying it".
Subversion versioning requires clients to have the same minor version. So any 1.7.X client should be compitable with every other 1.7.Y client.
For the server, any 1.X client will work with any 1.Y client.
Of course it's a good idea to keep things as up-to-date as possible, but you're not risking anything by combining 1.7.1 and 1.7.2.
The release of AnkhSVN based on 1.7.2 will be out in the coming days, the daily builds are already using this.
From what I'm aware of, we had to upgrade SVN on our servers to be compatible with the latest version of ankhsvn. It was a big deal, for the leads let us know we couldn't use ankh until we updated.
We are also using Tortoise.
Hope that helps.
