Chapter 2 TIBCO BusinessEvents Installation : Using an Existing Eclipse (or TIBCO Business Studio) Installation

Using an Existing Eclipse (or TIBCO Business Studio) Installation
This section is optional. It is also relevant only for releases with full installers. It is not relevant for releases with partial installers, such as service pack releases.
Requirements and Guidelines
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 TIBCO BusinessEvents for use with the TIBCO Business Studio business modeling software product, you must update the existing Eclipse installation with the required plug-ins. You can do this before or after installing TIBCO BusinessEvents.
The Eclipse requirements are:
To Use an Existing Eclipse Installation with TIBCO BusinessEvents
1.
2.
3.
Extract the other components (EMF, MDT, and Eclipse Orbit package plug-ins) to the top-level directory of your Eclipse installation.
4.
For partial installers (such as service packs) only: Re-initialize Eclipse in your existing TIBCO BusinessEvents installation before you install the current release of TIBCO BusinessEvents. To do this, change directory to BE_HOME/studio/eclipse and execute the command:
   studio -clean -initialize
5.
Install TIBCO BusinessEvents for use with an existing Eclipse installation, as explained in this guide. Remember to select the Use my own Eclipse installation check box.
(You can install TIBCO BusinessEvents before you install the Eclipse software if you prefer; but by step 6 in this procedure, both should be installed).
6.
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
path to JRE 1.6
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
8.
Change directory to the Your_Eclipse location and run the command:
eclipse -clean –initialize
9.
Running this command loads Eclipse with the BusinessEvents Studio plug-ins.
