OS Version: Mac OS Sierra: 10.12.3
Eclipse Version: Neon.3 Release (4.6.3)
Steps
Downloaded the latest Eclipse version.
Installed IDE for Java Developers.
Installed IBM mobile first foundation studio 8.0 from Eclipse Marketplace. Restarted the Eclipse
No mobile first option available in Eclipse.
In MobileFirst v8.0 you no longer use Studio to create "projects" to create Hybrid apps, rather you use the Cordova CLI to create a Cordova app, and also use the Cordova CLI to add the MobileFirst SDK (plug-in) to the Cordova app.
The Studio plug-in for Eclipse in v8.0 is used to expose functionality provided by the MobileFirst CLI (register app, open console, and so on...), and so it will work only if you will also have the MobileFirst CLI installed, as well as the THyM plug-in for Eclipse, which makes Eclipse into a dev environment for Cordova apps. See this video : https://youtu.be/yRe2AprnUeg
Command Line is the best way to set up the development environment for IBM MobileFirst Foundation 8.0.
Application development
At the very minimum, the following software is needed:
NodeJS (requirement for MobileFirst CLI)
MobileFirst CLI
Cordova CLI
IDEs: Xcode, Android Studio, Visual Studio, Atom.io / Visual Studio Code / WebStorm / IntelliJ / Eclipse / other IDEs
Adapter development
NodeJS (requirement for MobileFirst CLI)
MobileFirst CLI
Maven (requires Java)
IDEs: IntelliJ / Eclipse / other IDEs
I suggest that you will take a tour of Setting Up the Development Environment for MobileFirst Foundation 8.0.

I am trying to install IBM MobileFirst Studio. I have downloaded the latest eclipse version (oxygen) for Java EE Developers. Now when I go to "Eclipse Marketplace" and enter "MobileFirst" in search, it does not find the plugin and in the download section of MobileFirst Platform Foundation (https://mobilefirstplatform.ibmcloud.com/downloads/), I can only find the 7.1.0.0 version (under past releases). Nowhere I can find the 8.0 version.
In MobileFirst v8.0 you no longer use Eclipse based MobileFirst Studio to create "projects" to create Hybrid apps, rather you use the Cordova CLI to create a Cordova app, and also use the Cordova CLI to add the MobileFirst SDK (plug-in) to the Cordova app.

I have an application which is support for the platforms Android and iOS. Early i used IBM Woklight - Cordova(6.x).
Then Early Worklight released version 7.0 with name Mobilefirst . So i modifed my application by update mobilefirst version.
Mobilefirst 7.0 not support to run in Anroid studio, So i am using some deprecated methods.
Now Mobilefirst 8.0 ,look like different and its documents seems like should install THyM .
If i start using THyM , Can possible to use Android studio? And which one is best?
Thanks in Advance!
Your Question: Mobilefirst 7.0 not support to run in Anroid studio, So i am using some deprecated methods.
In MobileFirst 7.x, Gradle is currently not supported in hybrid applications that are generated either in MobileFirst Studio or via the command-line interface (CLI).
If you choose to work with Android Studio, you do not need to install the ADT Eclipse plug-in.
After installing Android Studio, you must configure MobileFirst Studio to use it.
In Eclipse, select File > Preferences > MobileFirst and provide the root location for the Android Studio folder.
Your Question: If i start using THyM , Can possible to use Android studio? And which one is best?

Greetings,
I am attempting to use Mobile First Studio plugin within Eclipse Mars to develop apps. Based on my research there is an embedded version of MobileFirst Server with the plugin. In the Eclipse Installation Details page I can see the IBM MobileFirst Studio Plugin. However, when working in Eclipse I am not able to see the MFP project option when clicking File>New.
I cannot remember if I installed these in the correct/recommended order and if that is contributing to the problem. Or could the problem be the use of Java 7 and MobileFirst 8.0?
The MobileFirst 8.0 Studio Plugin does not include the server.
You need to have the MobileFirst CLI installed and server running before you can use this plugin. The plugin is depending on the CLI commands.
Please see this blogpost for additional information.

I installed the JBOSS Tools for Kepler and included the JBOSS hybrid moblie tools for cordova development and I'm able to create a new functional cordova project.
I can't nonetheless import an existing cordova or ionic project because that option doesn't appear on the eclipse import menu.
Is there a step I missed?
So I could not solve the problem created when adding the JBOSS Tools for kepler. I then just downloaded the Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio 8.1.0.
It comes armed with a cordova simulator and also supports ionic. Jboss studio is based on eclipse I find it meets my needs.
I'm trying to find IBM Worklight Studio v5.0.0.3 (Eclipse plug-in).
The Eclipse Marketplace provides only the latest version (5.0.6).
It seems that IBM does not publically provide download of previous versions of IBM Worklight Studio (Eclipse plug-in).
I need to use specifically 5.0.0.3 as the server is the same version.
Does anyone knows where to find/download IBM Worklight Studio v5.0.0.3?
Worklight Developer Edition installation:
1.Eclipse Juno 4.2.2 (Java Platform, Enterprise Edition, or Classic).
The Worklight installation will fail if you are running a different version of Eclipse
Note: Java Platform Eclipse will be preferable.

Further help : https://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/34670/ibm-worklight-developer-phonegap
The eclipse marketplace version is the free Developer Edition. It runs completely within eclipse and there's no standalone Worklight server.
If you've install a separate Worklight server (on Liberty, WAS, or Tomcat) then you're running the Worklight Consumer or Worklight Enterprise edition and should use the studio plugin for that edition/version. As Idan mentioned, Business Partners can get the corresponding studio plugin from PartnerWorld.
You say you have Worklight Server installed but not Worklight Studio, this implies to me that you are either a customer or partner of IBM (and have installed Worklight using the IBM Installation Manager).
Customers can download past and current versions of Worklight via IBM Passport Advantage.
Partners should visit IBM PartnerWorld.
Save your time installing 5.0.3 especially if you are planning on using jQuery that comes with worklight native. 5.0.6 comes with 1.8.2 jQuery and has better native calls for worklight to save you time when you need to get usefull info and use the enhanced logging properties.
Trust me. If you you are not going to wait until 6.0 the use 5.0.6 and save yourself a lot of UI headaches.
