#7 Unable to install on I20160405 due to unsatisfiable dependency to org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility

[Jochen Wiedmann]

I am unable to install the Tomcat Plugin on I20160405 (Neon). I have added http://tomcatplugin.sf.net/update as an update site. However, if I select the Tomcat Plugin for installation, and click on next, then I receive the following message:

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Eclipse Tomcat Management Feature 3.3.5 (net.sf.eclipse.tomcat.feature.feature.group 3.3.5)
Missing requirement: Tomcat Manager Plugin 3.3.5 (net.sf.eclipse.tomcat 3.3.5) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility 0.0.0' but it could not be found

I guess this eclipse bug is related:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=476405

I will check if we can drop this dependency which is also the suggested solution in the aforementioned ticket.

@deprecated in 2004, hopefully this is removable

At a first glance it looks promising to me that we can easily drop this dependency.

[Jochen Wiedmann]

If you can provide a trial build, I'll give it a try.

[MarkusK]

Could you please try with this update site archive?

[Jochen Wiedmann]

Thanks very much, looks good. What I have checked:

• Installable=Yes
• Tomcat Global Preferences Present=Yes
• Tomcat Project Preferences Present=Yes
• Tomcat Buttons Present=Yes
• Tomcat Runnable=Yes

Just one minor thing: #2 (Ability to deploy Context is missing) is present again. This used to work with 3.3.5.1.

Thank you, Jochen, for testing so far. I tried to reproduce the issue [#2] and did get the missing menu entry:
Create some Java project
Tomcat context menu entry is not there
Open project properties
Switch to Tomcat page
Check "Is Tomcat Project"
Click "Apply" and "Okay" to save changes and close properties
Open context menu --> Tomcat context menu entry is present
Remove "Is Tomcat Project" again --> Tomcat context menu entry is gone again (as expected, I guess)

@Jochen: Could you maybe join me in #tomcatplugin on freenode.net to chat about the issue more directly? https://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=tomcatplugin

Fixed in v3.3.6
