Re: RDi 9.9.0.3 vs. Snippets

Here is the direct link to the Snippits plugin,

https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2025-12/202512101000/plugins/org.eclipse.wst.common.snippets_1.3.200.v202410202228.jar

It is totally available stand alone.

The Snippit view was also available stand alone. I know because that's how
many of us installed it in 9.8. The posts would still be here in the
archive.

Hi Jason,

The snippets view is part of the Web Developer Tools. And that was how it
was installed in 9.8.

The issue Daniel reported is we've updated a dependent plugin and that
team would need to update their repository for it to work. (This was the
nightmare we ran into with eGit in 9.8 as well.)

You don't need Eclipse Web Developer Tools to install the Snippits view.
As someone pointed out back when 9.8 released, Eclipse had it as a stand
alone plugin. I'm sure the posts are still in the archive. All we had to do
is download that plugin and put it in the plugins folder and we had our
Snippits back.

So why can't we do that again?

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
