| <h1>Eclipse plugin installation</h1> |
| <section name="Introduction"> |
| <p> |
| This document provides instructions for installating of the two Eclipse plugins provided by Axis2 |
| (<a href="servicearchiver-plugin.html">Service Archive Generator</a> and |
| <a href="wsdl2java-plugin.html">Code Generator Wizard</a>). |
| The two plugins should work on Eclipse version 3.1 and upwards, and require at least Java 1.5. |
| The plugins have dependencies on bundles that are installed by default in the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers |
| edition, but not in the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers edition. It is therefore recommended |
| to use the EE edition. |
| The installation procedure is the same for both plugins, but depends on the Eclipse |
| version being used. To determine which procedure to use, check if there is a |
| <tt>dropins</tt> folder in the Eclipse installation directory. This folder is used |
| by the p2 provisioning system introduced in recent Eclipse version. It should be |
| present starting with Eclipse version 3.4. |
| </p> |
| </section> |
| <section name="Installation using the dropins directory"> |
| <p> |
| If your Eclipse version uses p2, use the following procedure to install the |
| Axis2 plugins: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li><a href="../index.html">Download</a> the ZIP file for the plugin you want to install.</li> |
| <li>Extract the content of the <tt>plugins</tt> folder in the ZIP archive into the |
| <tt>dropins</tt> folder (i.e. do <b>not</b> create a <tt>plugins</tt> folder under <tt>dropins</tt>).</li> |
| </ol> |
| <p> |
| As explained <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started#Dropins">here</a>, |
| it is possible to use other directory layouts in the <tt>dropins</tt> folder. |
| </p> |
| </section> |
| <section name="Installation on older Eclipse versions"> |
| <p> |
| If you have an older Eclipse version that doesn't support p2 yet, use the following |
| procedure to install the Axis2 plugins: |
| </p> |
| <ol> |
| <li><a href="../index.html">Download</a> the ZIP file for the plugin you want to install.</li> |
| <li>Extract the content of the ZIP archive into the Eclipse installation directory. |
| This should add one or more JAR files and/or directories to the existing <tt>plugins</tt> |
| folder.</li> |
| </ol> |
