How to install Maven in RAD 8.5.1?

Question

Unable to install Maven in RAD 8.5.1 using the update site.

Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse 1.0.0.20110607-2117 (org.eclipse.m2e.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.20110607-2117) Missing requirement: m2e Marketplace 1.0.0.20110607-2117 (org.eclipse.m2e.discovery 1.0.0.20110607-2117) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.equinox.p2.operations 0.0.0' but it could not be found Cannot satisfy dependency: From: m2e - Maven Integration for Eclipse 1.0.0.20110607-2117 (org.eclipse.m2e.feature.feature.group 1.0.0.20110607-2117) To: org.eclipse.m2e.discovery [1.0.0.20110607-2117]

Solution

It took me a bit of effort to figure this out, so here's an expanded answer:

• In the IBM Installation Manager, click "Modify".
• Find the IBM Software Delivery Platform that includes IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software 8.5
• Click "Next" to get to the language page
• Click "Next" to get to the feature selection page
• Maven is listed under IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere -> Collaborative development and build tools
• Click "Next", then "Modify" and let the installation manager do its thing.
