configuring worklight with eclipse - ibm-mobilefirst

I'm configuring my eclipse with the worklight with this steps while doing that i'm getting the above error as shown in the image.

1) Worklight is pretty specific to which editions and versions of eclipse are known to work. Running with other editions or versions can lead to unpredictable results. For the current version of IBM Worklight Studio (v6.2), which is on Eclipse Marketplace, double check to ensure you have:
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
Juno SR2 (4.2.2), Kepler SR1 (4.3.1), Kepler SR2 (4.3.2), or Luna R (4.4).
as described in the Developer Edition overview. Also check the other system requirements listed there.
2) You cannot upgrade to Worklight Studio V6.2 from an earlier version of Worklight Developer Edition.
3) Google "MD5 Hash Eclipse". There are lots of suggestions (make sure you're running eclipse as administrator, check your firewall, check your java version, etc.)
4) Could be a corrupted download by eclipse. Try downloading the IBM Worklight Studio 6.2 zip file and installing it as a local archive within Eclipse.

I believe these are network problems. You should try later or in a different network connection.
By the way, I highly recommend to use an Eclipse Java EE version.

Worklight 6.2 .wlapp deployment.data file format

I need to deploy an application to Worklight 6.2, but the latest IDE i have only targets for MobileFirst 7.1. I am trying to manually edit the meta/dployment.data file(pasted below). I updated the platform.version to 6.2 manually. Can someone help me with:
If someone can share a sample .wlapp archive targetted for WL 6.2, specifically iOSNative app with authentication disabled.
Or if someone can help me plug the right values into below file. Mainly this value "app.authenticity.obscuredata=23.507-9.852-31.807"
This is the content of XYZ.wlapp/meta/deployment.data file
#Deployment data.

app.build.time=1456869995617
app.displayname=RLReplen

app.native=true

app.id=RLReplen
This is not possible, as explained in your previous question.
If you need the Studio for 6.2, then do not install Studio from Eclipse marketplace, as from there you get only the latest studio - 7.1. The latest is simply not backwards compatible, nor can it be as the product has changed significantly. You also cannot take a 7.1 project and open it in Studio 6.2 and expect it to work... or start altering it.
You need to create a new 6.2 project using Studio 6.2, and copy your implementation into it.
Please go to IBM Fix Central, download Studio for your build level (6.2), and install it manually into your Eclipse. And use that.
Only 6.2 studio will produce 6.2 server compatible projects, applications, adapters and any other artifacts.

Issues installing MobileFirst Studio v7.1

Trying to install MobileFirst Studio v7.1.0 into clean Eclipse install -- either Mars (v5.1) or Luna (v4.4.2). Receiving error when trying to confirm the features indicating missing requirements. Any thoughts or reasons for this?
This has been identified as a defect introduced in a recent iFix and is in the process of being fixed. I will update this answer once a fixed version will be available via Eclipse Marketplace.
As a workaround you can install an older release and then select to update it using the "faulty" release through Eclipse Marketplace. The update will work as the problem manifests itself only in new installations.
For reference, this is APAR - PI54604 CANNOT INSTALL MOBILEFIRST PLATFORM STUDIO 7.1 ON ECLIPSE.

Unable to load the Rich Page Editor in Worklight Studio 7.1

I'm using Worklight Studio version 7.1 on Juno Eclipse 4.2.2 - and the Rich Page Editor fails to load when any index.html file is opened.
See screen-shot image (I couldn't post it here, so its on Dropbox)
https://www.dropbox.com/s/c49l78l7w6s42b5/worklight-studio.png?dl=0
I was able to load the RPE in Worklight 7.0 and earlier versions with the same exact eclipse version. Not sure what is so different with Worklight 7.1
Any pointers ?
In Mac, this works for me in a new project: http://i.stack.imgur.com/FqLOt.png.
Does this fail for you with a new project or existing project?
You can use Eclipse Kepler, Luna or Mars instead as an alternative to Eclipse Juno. Or at least check if it fails there as well.

Using Worklight Studio Plugin with Rational Application Developer

Is it possible to use the Worklight Studio plugin for eclipse with IBM's Rational Application Developer IDE (8.5).
It depends on the Worklight Studio version you are trying to use.
If you try to install the latest available version from Eclipse marketplace (the developer edition which is 6.1.0.1), then it won't be possible, since RAD 8.5 uses Eclipse 3.6 while Worklight Studio needs to be installed on 4.2.2
An older version of Worklight Studio would allow you to do that combination, but if you are willing to do a migration, the best would be to get some flavor or RAD 9 (which is based on Eclipse 4.2, then compatible with Worklight Studio).

Can Worklight Studio 6.0 and Worklight Studio 6.1 be installed on the same machine

I have a laptop running Windows 7 Pro. Is it safe to install both WL studio 6.0 and 6.1 on the same laptop? If it is safe to have both versions installed can the Android SDKs be shared between the installs or should each version of WL studio have its own install of the Android SDKs.
Thank you for any advice you can provide.
You can easily install multiple versions of WL studio on 1 machine, just use a fresh install of Eclipse for each version. Creating separate workspaces inside of eclipse will have the same version of WL across all workspaces so you will need multiple Eclipse instances to accomplish this. In regards to your Android SDK question you can point each eclipse instance to the same Android SDK, but you will need to install the android tools on each version in order to work properly.
Please make sure you are running the latest 6.0.0.x ifix when attempting to run at the same time as some issues were resolved in this version. If you are an IBM WL customer please request the latest fix pack containing this fix.
Also, ensure you install the right version of Eclipse for each Worklight Studio version. Worklight 6.0 only runs on eclipse 4.2.2 (Juno SR2), while Worklight 6.1 runs on either eclipse 4.2.2 or eclipse 4.3.1 (Kepler SR1). See System Requirements for detailed requirements for all Worklight versions.
