<ul> | |
<li>In Eclipse, choose <b>Help -> Install New Software...</b></li> | |
<li>Click on the <b>Add</b> button on the right. </li> | |
<li>Type in a Name in the textbox. For example, type: <b>ECF 3.8.1</b>.</li> | |
<li>Paste the following URL into the Location field. <br><br> | |
<b>http://download.eclipse.org/rt/ecf/3.8.1/site.p2</b></li> | |
<li> Click OK. </li> | |
<li>Select the first <b>two</b> check boxes for install into Eclipse..i.e. | |
<b>ECF OSGi Remote Services/Remote Service Admin SDK</b> and the <b>ECF SDK for Eclipse</b>. | |
To explain: The ECF repository has four top-level items for install: </li> | |
<ol> | |
<li><b>ECF OSGi Remote Services SDK</b></li> | |
<li><b>ECF Patch for Eclipse Kepler (4.3). Not needed for Eclipse Luna (4.4).</b></li> | |
<li><b>ECF SDK for Eclipse</b></li> | |
<li><b>ECF Supplemental File Transfer Providers. Not needed for Eclipse Luna or Kepler.</b></li> | |
</ol> | |
<p> | |
<b>PLEASE NOTE: | |
<ul> | |
<li>If you are installing ECF into to Eclipse Kepler (4.3)</b> you must check the item <b>ECF Patch for Eclipse Kepler (4.3)</b>...in addition to any other items</b>. | |
If, however, you are installing into Eclipse Luna (4.4), <b>you must not check this item</b>.</li> | |
<li>For nearly all cases, you should select the <b>ECF SDK for Eclipse</b> and/or the <b>ECF OSGi Remote Services SDK</b>. The <b>ECF SDK for Eclipse</b> includes the | |
<b>ECF Remote Services SDK</b>. Generally, you should <b>not</b> install the ECF Supplemental File Transfer Providers and so you should make | |
sure that this category is <b>unchecked</b>.</li> | |
</ul> | |
<p> | |
Of course, you may also uncheck the <b>Group items by category</b> checkbox and choose the individual ECF features ala carte to get only the features of ECF that you wish. | |
<li>Click on Next. | |
<li>Follow through the remaining dialogs to complete the installation.</li> | |
</ul> | |
<p> | |
