Installation Overview : Using an Existing Eclipse (or TIBCO Business Studio™) Installation

Using an Existing Eclipse (or TIBCO Business Studio™) Installation
This section is relevant for full installers only, not partial (service pack) installers.
TIBCO recommends using the Eclipse software bundled with the TIBCO BusinessEvents software. However, if you prefer to use your existing Eclipse software installation, or want to install Eclipse separately, or want to install BusinessEvents for use with TIBCO Business Studio, you must update the Eclipse installation with the required plug-ins. You can do this before or after installing BusinessEvents.
The Eclipse requirements are:

(You can install BusinessEvents before you install the Eclipse software if you prefer; but by this point in the procedure both should be installed).

Copy the TIBCOBusinessEvents-Studio-plugins.link file from BE_HOME/studio/eclipse/dropins_configuration to Your_Eclipse/links.
7.
Configure the Your_Eclipse/eclipse.ini file as follows:
–vm

Add the following properties to -vmargs, each on a new line
-DBE_HOME=path to BE_HOME
-Dstudio.wrapper.tra.file=<path to BE_HOME>/studio/eclipse/configuration/studio.tra
-DJDK_LIB=path to JRE 1.6/lib

Change directory to Your_Eclipse location and again run the command:
eclipse.exe –clean –initialize

Run the command eclipse.exe.
Running this command loads Eclipse with the BusinessEvents Studio plug-ins.
