Troubleshooting your Eclipse installation with Rational Rhapsody

If the workflow integration with Eclipse is not working as it should, there are a number of settings that you should check.

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.
