I am still getting the same error using the downloaded package.

I am using Help ==> install new software.

I created a new repository and pointed it to the extracted download
of iSphere.

I selected just iSphere for RDi 8.0+ (Base Component)

Install fails with error

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed session
context was:(profile=IBM Software Delivery Platform
com.ibm.sdp.eclipse.ide,
phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect,
operand=, action=).
No repository found containing:
osgi.bundle,com.google.gson,2.2.4.v201311231704

Is this a problem with the RDi installation ?

More like a problem with Eclipse -- not RDi, per se. Usually the
fix for this is to remove the update site(s) and re-add it. I just did
that today and everything went fine. This is what I did -- in RDi:

1. Go to menu selection Window / Preferences / Install/Update / Available
Software Sites
2. [Remove] any and all sites (local and remote) that reference the
iSphere product
3. Click the [OK] button to close that dialog
4. Go to menu selection Help / Install New Software
5. Click the [Add] button
6. Enter a Name of "iSphere for RDi" (without the quotes)
7. Enter a Location of "http://isphere.sourceforge.net/eclipse/rdi8.0/";
(without the quotes)
8. Click the [OK] button (this will recalculate and reload the metadata
for the update site)
9. Continue the installation from there.

Hope that works for you.


Sincerely,
