Hi Daniel,
The conflict is the Eclipse Web Developer Tools 3.31.0.v202403030558 uses a lower version of plugins we've updated, so it wants to roll ours back.
This was the main reason from transitioning to templates instead of snippets. The Web Developer Tools requires frequent security updates, even if they don't use the affected plugins.
This is why we ship eGit now. In the past it wasn't updated frequently enough to keep up with IBM security PSIRTS. We can keep it up to date without the down-level repository.
I'll see what I can do, but back leveling 'org.eclipse.wst.server.discovery' isn't an option.
I know people still like snippets.

Hi all,
can it be, that RDi 9.9.0.3 has killed the Snippets view again?
After installing the update, I get this error message inside the view:
Could not create the view:
org.eclipse.wst.common.snippets.internal.ui.SnippetsView
And installing the Eclipse Web Developer Tools from the 2024-03 repository doesn't help, as it collides with an IBM feature:
Eclipse Web Developer Tools
3.31.0.v202403030558
(org.eclipse.wst.web_ui.feature.feature.group)
vs.
IBM IES Feature
4.31.3.202605190828
(com.ibm.irs.feature.feature.group)
And if you decide to remove the IES feature, RDi doesn't start anymore.
So no Snippets for me it seems? Has anyone else the same experience?
Thanks in advance
Daniel
