Re: Problem installing UIMA-AS Deployment Descriptor Ed. for Eclipse

Hi Tong,

OK, that was too few information.

I was trying to install the editor from the "Help > Install New 
Software" dialog using the eclipse update site 
"http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/uima/eclipse-update-site/".

The "UIMA Runtime" and "UIMA tools" were already installed both in 
version 2.2.2.incubating. Then I chose "UIMA-AS Deployment Descriptor 
Editor" clicked "Next > Finish > OK".

The install operation seems to do something, but I always end up with 
the error message that I sent.

Thanks for checking
Matthias

Re: Problem installing UIMA-AS Deployment Descriptor Ed. for Eclipse

Matthias,
I can reproduce the problem by using a new installation of Eclipse 3.5.1.
I think the problem is that the Eclipse Update Manager cannot find the jar
for the Deployment Descriptor Editor in the update site(s).

To avoid this problem, Apache UIMA should provide an "archived" update site
file so that the user can download and "locally" install the plug-ins
instead of completely depend on the mirror/download sites.

Here is an alternative way to install the Deployment Descriptor Editor:
1. Download the UIMA-AS
http://www.bizdirusa.com/mirrors/apache/incubator/uima/binaries/uima-as-2.2.2-incubating/uima-as-2.2.2-incubating-bin.zip

2. Unzip and copy the following 2 jars to your Eclipse's "dropins" directory
(like for example eclipse\dropins):
 - eclipsePlugins/org.apache.uima.deployeditor_2.2.2.incubating.jar
 - eclipsePlugins/org.apache.uima.runtime-deployeditor_2.2.2.incubating.jar

3. Restart your Eclipse with -clean option.

Please let me know if these steps can solve your problem.
