| <h1>Setting up the Eclipse IDE</h1> |
| <p> |
| To get started with RAP, it's recommended to set up an Eclipse IDE with the |
| <strong>RAP Tools</strong> installed. |
| The RAP Tools provide useful IDE extensions for RAP application development such as a |
| target installer |
| and launchers for RAP applications. |
| The RAP developer's guide (which you are currently reading) is also included. |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2>Option One: Get a complete IDE package</h2> |
| <p> |
| The most convenient way to get the RAP Tools is using the Eclipse package |
| <em>for RCP and RAP Developers</em> from the |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">Eclipse download page</a>. |
| This IDE includes everything you need to develop RCP and RAP applications, and |
| you can skip to <a href="target-install.html">installing the target platform</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <h2>Option Two: Install the RAP Tools into an existing Eclipse IDE</h2> |
| <p> |
| If you rather want to use an existing Eclipse IDE, you can also get the RAP Tools |
| separately and install them as an add-on: |
| </p> |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| With Eclipse up and running, select <em class="UILabel">Help > Install New Software…</em> |
| from the main menu. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Enter the RAP Update Site URL |
| <em>http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/tools/3.1</em> |
| into the <em class="UILabel">Work with</em> field and press Enter. |
| <br/> |
| <strong>Note:</strong> The RAP 3.1 Tools can only be installed into an Eclipse IDE version 4.5 (Mars) or newer. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| After a short while, an entry labeled <em>Remote Application Platform (RAP)</em> appears |
| in the list below. Depending on your Eclipse IDE version, select the corresponding check box |
| and click <em class="UILabel">Next</em>. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| On the next page you may review the installation details. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Accept the terms in the license agreement and click the |
| <em class="UILabel">Finish</em> button. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| The features and plug-ins will now be downloaded from the repository and |
| installed locally. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Confirm the following prompt to restart Eclipse. |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| |
| <p> |
| You can also get a zipped version of the RAP Tools repository from the RAP |
| <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/rap/downloads/">Download page</a>. |
