Installation Overview : Using an Existing Eclipse Installation

Using an Existing Eclipse Installation
We recommend using the Eclipse software bundled with the TIBCO BusinessEvents software. However, if you prefer to use your existing Eclipse software installation or wish to install Eclipse separately before installing TIBCO BusinessEvents, you must update the Eclipse installation with the required plug-ins before installing BusinessEvents.
The Eclipse requirements are:
Download the above files and extract them to the top-level directory of your Eclipse installation.
Re-initialize Eclipse before you begin installation of BusinessEvents. To do this, use the command:
eclipse -clean -initialize

Add the following properties to -vmargs, each on a new line
-DBE_HOME=path to BE_HOME
