Prerequisites

To use the newest versions of the Open-jACOB Eclipse plug in (2.9.1 and higher) and the Application Container, you need:

Eclipse Update Manager

Installation with the built-in Eclipse update manager is preferred. The update manager url is http://www.openjacob.org/updates_eclipse_3_4/.

These steps configure the Update Manager and download the plug in:

  1. Select Window menu -> Open Perspective -> Other
  2. Select Install/Update from the dialog.
  3. Go to the bottom-left view labeled Feature Updates and right-click, then select New -> Site Bookmark
  4. Complete the dialog with the title New Site Bookmark.
    Name:Open-jACOB Features
    URL:http://www.openjacob.org/updates_eclipse_3_4/
    Then press Finish.
  5. Expand the new item labeled Open-jACOB Features in the Feature Updates view. This may take a while depending on the speed of your connection.
  6. Expand Target Providers section for your version of Eclipse and click on jACOB Designer.
  7. In the view on the top-right, labeled Preview, click the Install Now button. If that button is absent, you probably already have it installed. Check the rest of the Preview page to find out.
  8. Go through the steps of the Install Wizard dialog by pressing the Next buttons and the Finish. You should of course always read the license (in the second wizard page), or at the very least never hold me responsible for anything related to it.
  9. You have finished the installation.

Eclipse Help contains much more information about the Update Manager in the Workbench User Guide.
