- Unpack and run
- Help -> Install New Software -> add new source "RAP Tooling" - http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/1.5/tooling
- Install "Rich Ajax Platrorm (RAP)" from that source
- Create directory somewhere on file system (I'll use /Users/alk/Documents/RAP)
- Copy com.ibm.icu_4.4.2.v20110823.jar from Eclipse runtime to /Users/alk/Documents/RAP
- Go to Window -> Preferences -> Plugin-in Development -> Target Platform, click "Add", initialize target definition with "Nothing"
- Change name to something like 'RAP 1.5"
- (still in target content editor) Add software site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno, uncheck "Include Required Software" and install "EMF - Eclipse Modeling Framework SDK" (from Modeling)
