GOAL:
How to add OpenEdge Architect features to a standard Eclipse installation?
GOAL:
How to use OpenEdge Architect features in Eclipse?
GOAL:
How to use Architect in another installation of Eclipse?
FACT(s) (Environment):
OpenEdge 10.1A
FIX:
OpenEdge Architect uses the Eclipse framework to provide features for a Progress IDE. As of OpenEdge 10.1A, it is possible to add most Architect features to a standard Eclipse environment, with or without additional plug-ins already installed.
Requirements:
- Eclipse 3.1.1 SDK as provided on www.eclipse.org
- Java 1.4 as provided with OpenEdge 10.1A.
NOTE: java 1.5 will most definitely not work with OpenEdge 10.1A and 10.1A01
Architect was built with these versions of Eclipse and JDK and may not work with other versions.
Steps:
1. ensure a working installation of OpenEdge Architect 10.1A as supplied by Progress.
2. if not already installed, install Eclipse 3.1.1 SDK in a different directory.
3. copy the contents of '%DLC%/oeide/eclipse/plugins' to the corresponding 'plugins' subdirectory of the Eclipse installation performed in step 2. Do not overwrite existing directories or files.
4. repeat step 3 with the following subdirectories:
- '%DLC%/oeide/eclipse/features'
5. overwrite the file 'configuration/config.ini' of the Eclipse installation performed in step 2 with the file '%DLC%/oeide/eclipse/configuration/config.ini' if you would like to re-brand Eclipse to use OpenEdge Architect instead of the standard Eclipse SDK splash screen, window titles, window images and help about.
6. Run 'eclipse.exe' with additional command-line argument '-clean' to clean up Eclipse's plug-in database. This is needed only the first time you run Eclipse after performing this procedure.
