How To install rap 1.3.0-M2-20090929-1142

由于rap 1.3 tooling包中的文件格式有所改变，用安装rap1.2方式来安装rap1.3我没有try成功，网了半天也看到指导性的东西，可能我对eclipse生疏了吧，自己调试了半天才调试出来。所以记录下来。

My system is RHEL 5.0.

Step 1.

download eclipse sdk 3.5

download rap runtime 1.3

download rap tooling1.3

Step 2.

注意解压文件后不要启动eclipse，这样使得eclipse是个全新的，

要不然你可能需要删除workspace这个目录（eclipse默认工作目录）。

extract eclipse sdk, rap runtime and tooling as following:

/opt/ins/rap
________________________________________________________________________________
total 24K
drwxrwxr-x 9 1054 1109 4.0K Sep 17 14:31 eclipse
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Oct 31 23:21 rap-runtime-1.3.0-M2-20090929-1121
drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4.0K Oct 31 23:22 rap-tooling-1.3.0-M2-20090929-1142
[root@localhost rap]#

Step 3.

把tooling包移到dropins目录下去就OK啦。

# mv rap-tooling-1.3.0-M2-20090929-1142/ eclipse/dropins/

然后再启动eclipse。

run the eclipse. on Windows system, you just need to run the eclipse from Desktop.

# ./eclipse/eclipse

从About菜单可以查到这些安装信息。

From the Eclipse SDK Installation Details information, we could get the following message.

Step 4. 如果在你把tooling包拷贝到dropins目录下后重新启动eclipse时，没有看到rap的欢迎界面，不能点击界面安装rap target的话，可以利用runtime手动地安装target。

事实上，把tooling包拷贝到dropins目录后，你要把以前eclipse默认的workspace删除或者mv workspace workspace.bak，然后启动eclipse，指定新的workspace，这样一般能出现rap欢迎界面，点击界面上的第一个链接，点击安装rap target就能自动安装好。

没出现rap欢迎界面就手动安装一下。

add a new target for rap.

do everything as me do.

click Add... button

choose directory option

click Brower... button

select the rap runtime folder.

Attention pls: the folder construction is should like the following one:

/opt/ins/rap/rap-runtime-1.3.0-M2-20090929-1121
