| <h1>Eclipse plugin installation</h1><section> |
| <h2><a name="Introduction"></a>Introduction</h2> |
| <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 |
| <code>dropins</code> 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> |
| <h2><a name="Installation_using_the_dropins_directory"></a>Installation using the dropins directory</h2> |
| <p>If your Eclipse version uses p2, use the following procedure to install the |
| Axis2 plugins:</p> |
| <ol style="list-style-type: decimal"> |
| |
| <li> |
| |
| <p><a href="../../download.html">Download</a> the ZIP file for the plugin you want to install.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| |
| <p>Extract the content of the <code>plugins</code> folder in the ZIP archive into the |
| <code>dropins</code> folder (i.e. do <b>not</b> create a <code>plugins</code> folder under <code>dropins</code>).</p> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>As explained <a class="externalLink" href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started#Dropins">here</a>, |
| it is possible to use other directory layouts in the <code>dropins</code> folder.</p></section><section> |
| <h2><a name="Installation_on_older_Eclipse_versions"></a>Installation on older Eclipse versions</h2> |
| <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 style="list-style-type: decimal"> |
| |
| <li> |
| |
| <p><a href="../../download.html">Download</a> the ZIP file for the plugin you want to install.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| |
| <p>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 <code>plugins</code> |
| folder.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ol></section><section> |
| <h2><a name="Debugging"></a>Debugging</h2> |
| <p>If a plugin doesn't show up in the Eclipse UI, use the following debugging procedure:</p> |
| <ol style="list-style-type: decimal"> |
| |
| <li> |
| |
| <p>Start Eclipse with the <code>-console</code> option.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| |
| <p>In the console, use <code>ss axis2</code> to check if the plugin has been installed and to |
| identify its bundle ID.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| |
| <p>If the plugin has not been installed, use the <code>install</code> command (with a <code>file:</code> URL |
| pointing to the plugin) to force its installation.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| |
| <p>Use the <code>start</code> command (with the bundle ID as argument) to attempt to start the |
| bundle. If the plugin doesn't show up in the UI, then this command will typically |
| fail with an error message explaining the reason.</p> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <p>Please use this procedure before opening a bug report.</p></section> |
