I installed RAD 7.5 and found out that IBM is not as good as I thought of it. RAD thing has it's own "install manager" which doesn't seem to resolve any dependencies. Does anyone know how to enable standart eclipse's software installer and/or Eclipse Marketplace?

This is how you add Marketplace client plugin to RAD 7.x/8.x:

  1. Help / Install New Software
  2. Point to Eclipse Helios Site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios in "Available Software Sites"
  3. Select the correct release (for RAD 8.0 is Helios)
  4. Type "Marketplace" in filter text control
  5. Check "General Purpose Tools / Marketplace Client"
  6. After install restart RAD

You now should see Eclipse Marketplace in Help menu.

Hint: this is the same procedure as in Eclipse Classic.
