Install M2E in RAD


Install - M2Eclipse 0.10 cannot install 



Well, don't know the reason... reading the log, it seems it tries to use org.eclipse.zest.core plug-in and it is not found.

Doing some digging, it seems org.eclipse.zest.core is part of Eclipse GEF project: http://wiki.eclipse.org/GEF_Zest_Visualization which doesn't seem to be installed by default as part of Eclipse 3.6 (my installation) nor RAD 8.0 Beta 1.

I checked the Update Site you mentioned, and I didn't see the plug-in too.

I would suggest as workaround, try to connect to Helios Update site (Helios - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios)and install Graphical Editing Framework Zest Visualization Toolkit SDK. And then, try to install M2Eclipse plug-ins again...

About, why Equinox p2 within Eclipse 3.6 knows how to manage this dependency and Equinox p2 within RAD 8.0 Beta 1 doesn't... I don't know the answer.

Hope this helps.
