With the recent release of WorkLight Studio 5 its taken a little time to get my development environment setup on the new Macbook Pro. One of the challenges has been getting a common eclipse shell for both Worklight studio and RTC 3.0.1. After a little research here are the steps for building the single shell instance.
- Download and unzip a helios SR2 eclipse for JEE developer instance from here.
- Start your Eclipse workbench.
- Click Help > Install New Software.
- On the Available Software page, click Add.
- In the Add Repository window enter a name for the site, such as: “IBM Worklight”.
- In the location, type: http://public.dhe.ibm.com/ibmdl/export/pub/software/mobile-solutions/worklight/wdeupdate/, then press OK.
- Select IBM Worklight Studio Development Tools, then Next.
- Click OK and then Finish to begin the download and installation of the new software.
- Restart eclipse
- Download and unzip the p2 instance of RTC Client 3.0.1 from here
- Click Help > Install new software
- On the Available Software page, click Add.
- In the Add Repository window enter a name for the site, such as: “RTC 3013″.
- Select Local and browse to the directory where RTC P2 was unzipped
- Select RTC Extend and choose next
- Click Finish to complete the installation
- Restart Eclipse
With a little luck, you now have a workbench ready for mobile development that integrates with your RTC 301 server.
This tutorial is also useful for installing Worklight 5 on Windows. However instead of using the Eclipse Helios release, use Eclipse Indigo.

For Linux (Ubuntu 12.04), you should also use Indigo instead of Helios.
