| <h2>1.0 Introduction</h2> |
| <p>Welcome to IBM's contribution to the Eclipse Web Tooling Platform |
| (WTP). The purpose of this document is to guide you through initial |
| setup of the code including any prerequisites and a high level tour |
| through each of the components which are being contributed for |
| evaluation. Before starting, please take note of <a |
| href="#TermsAndConditions">Section 5, The Terms and Conditions</a> of |
| this contribution.</p> |
| <h2>2.0 Getting Started</h2> |
| <h3>2.1 Prerequisites</h3> |
| <p>Here are the prerequisites you need to download and extract to your |
| system:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a |
| href="http://download.eclipse.org/downloads/drops/R-3.0-200406251208/eclipse-SDK-3.0-win32.zip">Eclipse |
| Release 3.0 SDK</a> </li> |
| <li><a |
| href="http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/downloads/drops/2.0/R200406280827/emf-sdo-SDK-2.0.0.zip">EMF |
| 2.0.0 SDK</a> </li> |
| <li><a |
| href="http://download.eclipse.org/tools/gef/downloads/drops/R-3.0-200406251257/GEF-ALL-3.0.zip">GEF |
| 3.0.0 SDK</a> </li> |
| <li><!-- Arthur Ryman 2004-09-29: Corrected broken link to JEM by copying zip to Web site --> |
| <!-- Ernest Mah 2004-09-30: Pointed to fixed link on the VE downloads --> |
| <a |
| href="http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ve/downloads/wtpdrops/JEM-SDK-I20040728.zip">JEM |
| SDK</a> |
| |
| Jave Edit Model SDK (shared with VE)</li> |
| <li><a |
| href="http://download.eclipse.org/tools/emf/downloads/drops/2.0/R200406280827/xsd-SDK-2.0.0.zip">XSD |
| 2.0.0 SDK</a> </li> |
| <li>1.4.2 JRE. We've focused most of our testing on Windows using the |
| <a href="http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html">Sun 1.4.2 JRE</a> |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Once you've unzipped/installed all of the above, download the ibm.zip |
| and extract it. It contains an a copy of this "Getting Started" guide |
| and the com.ibm.wtp.sdk zip file. Unzip this SDK into the same location |
| as the above SDKs. The zip extracts with 'eclipse' as the root |
| directory.</p> |
| <h3>2.2 Launching Eclipse</h3> |
| <p>Note that if you installing into an existing Eclipse 3.0 |
| environment, you'll need to launch eclipse with the -clean flag to |
| allow the environment to detect the new plugins. Subsequent launching |
| of eclipse won't require the -clean flag.</p> |
| <pre wrap="">eclipse -clean -vmargs -Xmx256m</pre> |
| <p>The VM arguments are required for indexing and java searching.</p> |
