SDK Setup Help, Virgo Server setup

[scroger]

I'm trying to install the vSphere Web Client SDK, version 5.5 on Windows.  I'm following the steps in teh SDK-setup.html document.

Step 4 is the Virgo Server setup.  I've tried adding the repository for the Virgo IDE (http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/virgo-ide), but even though Eclipse gets a list of items, it fails when I select 'Eclipse Virgo Tools' and click Next. 

The error details:

"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.  Software being installed: Eclipse Virgo Tools 1.0.0.201207122033-MILESTONE"

I assume I need Virgo tools to run the Virgo web server, so I'm stuck at this point.  Ideas?

I just tried again and don't see any problem with that link so it's likely something on your side.  Can you try from a different Eclipse or STS environment?

The Virgo Tooling is required to deploy your plugins directly from Eclipse, but if you can't install this you can still deploy your jar and war bundles dynamically in the server/pickup directly, or create a plugin-package, copy it in serenity-client/plugin-packages and restart the server.  Not as convenient for development but this will unblock you.

So i was using a version Eclipse that came with Flash Builder 4.7, from Step 3 of the SDK Setup.  Each time I tried to install the Virgo Tools using that eclipse it failed.

I just tried a new Eclipse download, and the install Virgo Tools worked.

So, the next problem is Flash Builder and Flex SDK.  The Setup notes say download Flash Builder and install it as an Eclipse plugin.  However, when I went to the Adobe site and installed Flash Builder, the Creative Cloud tool managed everything and did not give me an option to install into an existing Eclipse.  Any ideas here?

Nevermind, i just noticed the instructions say the Flash Builder plugin is under the Utilities folder.
