Re: RSE Extensions in V7 -- WDSCI-L

We have tested the  RSE extensions with a beta WDSC 7, and made 
adjustments as necessary. We will be testing again with the GA version, 
and will verify that the changes made are still valid, as well as updating 
the installers to work with the GA version.

As for Vern's instructions... I can not confirm from my own experiences 
but I can say the steps he outlines are logical.

As to where to find support for the RSE extensions.... Questions regarding 
the RSE Extensions should be posted here where users and contributors can 
collaborate. 

Thank you.

We have an "open-source" - well, free, anyway - 
installer for Tomcat - do we support it? You bet we do.

You get the RSE Extensions directly on the 
SoftLanding site - I think you can rely on them 
to support it - their is certainly an implicit support expectation.

Just a note to all of us here on the list - since 
the information was posted here, that Mark 
Phippard is no longer with SoftLanding, there 
have been a number of subtle and not so subtle 
suggestions that things are not going to be as 
good at that company - let's be careful about 
this - acquisitions can make one nervous, yes, 
but they are not necessarily bad, and none of us 
have real evidence of a problem - let's not 
assume anything - if we have a question about 
anything to do with SoftLanding, give them a call 
- this is not their support list.

Just my $.01 worth.

Adam - best thing might be to contact someone at
SoftLanding - there've been some posts from a
Jason Anderson here recently - give him a shout maybe.


Thanks for the suggestion Vern.  I'm not really sure if Softlanding

should

be relied upon to provide support for the RSE Extensions though - isn't
this an open source project?  In fact, I was thinking that I should look
at the project's homepage and see if there are any lists or forums
specifically for this project.

For those who are interested - here's what I did to get the RSE

Extensions

working in WDSC v.7:

1.  Create a directory for the RSE Extensions under your WDSC install
directory (same directory that contains the directories SDP70Shared).
2.  Open WDSC v.6.
3.  Help->Software Updates->Manage Configuration.  From here you can find
out where the RSE Extensions are installed for v.6
         - you can close v6 anytime after this if you like
4.  Copy the contents of the directory for v6 (from step 3) into the
directory you created in step 1.
5.  Change to the directory from step 1.(for me this is C:\WDSC7\RSE
Extensions).
6.  You should see a directory called eclipse, a fine called
.eclipseextension and a bunch of other files (readme.txt, INSTALL.LOG,
etc.)
7.  Move the .eclipseextension file into the eclipse directory.
8.  Open WDSC v.7.
9.  Help->Software Updates->Manage Configuration.
10.  Click 'Add an extension location' in the right hand pane.
11.  Browse to the directory you created in step 1.
12.  Click OK.
13.  Restart workbench.

This is the process that worked for me, YMMV.  I haven't noticed any
problems yet, but I can't guarantee the same for you.

HTH,
Adam
