Unable to install Plugins in Eclipse (jpbm)

Question

I have a major problem with installing plugins in eclipse. I'm using ubuntu 10.04 64 bit and I installed:

Eclipse SDK Version: 3.6.0 Build id: I20100608-0911

( Not by using the apt-get, via apt-get I get galileo, but that version didn't work as well)

The Plugin I want to install is: http://sourceforge.net/projects/jbpm/files/jBPM%203/jbpm-jpdl-3.2.7/ I have to use this plugin because its compatible with alresco (dms)

I tried to install the plugin via dropin and the normal way:

Help->Install new Software-> Add -> Archive -> select the downloaded *.jar .

When I hit OK, I get the following error message:

"Could not find jar:file:/home/xyxyx/jbpm.jar"

I tried to solve it by extracting the jar but no success. Putting the jar into the plugins folder and changing permissions won't help! I also tried different versions of eclipse on several systems. No success!

I have been looking for a solution all day! I tried some advice I found on stackoverflow. I don't use a proxy. I changed the update system to classic! Now I don't know what to do anymore.

Anything special I have to configure before I use eclipse on ubuntu besides installing the JDK?

Answer 1

Try to run the installed using the following command:

  java -jar jbpm-installer-3.2.7.jar

On the other hand, you may want to use JBoss IDE which has integrated support for jBPM.
