Installing and using Eclipse samples

Rogue Wave® provides a number of Eclipse™ samples built for Eclipse 3.7 or newer. The Eclipse samples are distributed as Eclipse features and plug-ins.

Installation of a new local site

In order to install the Rogue Wave JViews Eclipse plug-ins, you need to install from the local site as shown below.

For Eclipse 3.7 or newer:

Launch your Eclipse installation.
Go to Help/Install New Software.
Add a new local site: Click Add, then Local and specify the directory <installdir>/jviews-framework89/tools/ilog.views.eclipse.update.site
Select the features you want to install, and press the Next button.

The Rogue Wave JViews local site is automatically created during the installation of your product. If you need to update the local site installation for any reason there is a batch file that will build the Eclipse update site and patch your Rogue Wave JViews license key into the appropriate plug-in.

In order to rebuild the Rogue Wave JViews local site, you should run the following file:

Windows® : <installdir>/jviews-framework89/tools/build_eclipse.bat .
UNIX® : <installdir>/jviews-framework89/tools/build_eclipse.sh.
