Troubleshooting your Eclipse installation with Rational Rhapsody

About this task

If after installing Eclipse, working to set up a project as described previously, and you have not been successful, do the following troubleshooting to check your installation:

Procedure

  1. Check the path to Eclipse in the rhapsody.ini file to be certain that it is the actual path on your system. The following example shows a typical path:
    [IDE]
    EclipsePath=C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe 
    Note: If it does not match your path to Eclipse, make the necessary changes.
  2. Check to be certain that the c:\cygwin\bin is in your environment PATH variable.
  3. Start Rational® Rhapsody® and create or open a project.
  4. Right-click the component and choose Add New > Eclipse Configuration.
  5. You are prompted for a workspace. Then the Project wizard asks you to either specify a project or create a new one. Click Next.
  6. Specify the new project name and click Next.
  7. Click Finish.
  8. If the program asks if you want to associate with a C++ Perspective, click Yes. Now the Eclipse CDT IDE is open and linked to your project.
  9. Switch to IBM® Rational Rhapsody and make sure that your Eclipse configuration is active. Generate code.
  10. Right-click a model element in the Eclipse version of the code and select Locate in Rhapsody. This change triggers a roundtrip in the Rational Rhapsody version of the code.
