This topic shows you how to link IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® to
Eclipse.
About this task
After all the software has been installed,
use Eclipse facilities to link Rational Rhapsody functionality
into the Eclipse IDE.
Note: If you receive any prompts about Eclipse
certificates, accept them.
Procedure
Open Eclipse and select Help > Software Updates.
Click the Available Software tab
and click Add Site.
In the Add Site window, click Local to
display the directories on your computer.
Navigate to the Rational Rhapsody installation
path and highlight the Eclipse folder. Click OK.
Expand the list of Rational Rhapsody and
Eclipse selections in the Available Software tab.
Select only one of the Rational Rhapsody plug-ins
for Eclipse:
Rhapsody Platform
Integration permits developers to work on a Rational Rhapsody project
completely within Eclipse. Rational Rhapsody does
not need to be open for this implementation. This integration can
be used for C, C++, or Java application
development in a Windows environment
only.
Rhapsody Workflow
Integration allows the software developer to work in Rational Rhapsody and
use some Eclipse features through Rational Rhapsody menu
options. This integration can be used for C, C++, and Java development
in either Windows or Linux environments. Both Eclipse
and Rational Rhapsody must
be open when the developer is using this integration.
Select the integration type you want to
use and click Install. If you
select an integration that includes "Workbench" in the option, you
intend to use the Wind River version of Eclipse.
Note: Install only one Eclipse release version on your computer.
To load another version later, you must first remove the current Eclipse
version and then run the installation for the different Eclipse version.
The program displays a window indicating
that it is "resolving dependencies" and then displays the license
for the selected plug-in. Examine the license, click the "I accept
the terms of the license agreement" option, and click Finish.
When the installation has finished, restart
your computer.
