Re: "Cannot perform operation": Eclipse's very own BSOD

Ah! I am back on the air after filling the Recycle bin until it choked on
RDi files. RDi reinstalled in one minute, which is a terrific convenience.

Using Eclipse Marketplace, I found and installed Eclipse Web Developer
Tools 3.25 without a problem--this was the missing link.

Using Eclipse Marketplace, I found and downloaded the "Darkest Dark" theme
and it installed without a problem. Comments: go into Lpex|Appearance and
select the "black" palette. I changed the "currentLine" style color to
make it easier to see.

Using Eclipse Marketplace, I installed Indent Guide 2.2.5 without a problem.

Using Eclipse Marketplace, I tried to install DBeaver 23.0.5 and I got
errors referencing org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu and osgi.bundle. It's not
necessary and I'll take the wins I have!

MIke, thanks again!

As far as I know *most* plugins install into the Eclipse install. There
are some exceptions it seems as some seem to install stuff in some external
directory as well.

Your workspace will have references to any installed plugins so if you are
re-using a workspace then restarting with -clean may help and also in your
C:\Users\{your-id}\ directory in Windows will have a .eclipse directory
that also contains config stuff.

Mike, thank you...now I'll root through the Eclipse Marketplace.

A follow-up question: is there a document detailing how to completely
remove RDi 9.8? The plug-in's are hidden somewhere and a new installation
tries to use them. I've killed the base folder with RDI.exe and the
workspace but it appears there are additional components.

Thanks again!

I think if you install the Eclipse Web Tools then it brings in a bunch of
base Eclipse stuff that lets other things install.

Where do I find repository addresses for missing components? I thought
Eclipse was smart enough to find the missing pieces but apparently not.
The Eclipse Marketplace shows you every plug-in with merely a passing
reference to your search term.

I'm trying to install Darkest Dark and other plug-in's to an RDi 9.8
implementation. I can't seem to find the OSGI repository, the RAP
repository, and these.

Cannot satisfy dependency:
From: Rational Developer for i 9.8.0.0 (RationalDeveloperForIBMi
9.8.0.0)

To: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu; org.eclipse.ui 0.0.0

All the productivity I've gained with RDi has been lost to Eclipse
plug-in's. IBM, this is why people won't give up SEU!
