Installing the Plug-In Using a Public Update Site

This section explains how to use a public update site maintained by TIBCO to install the plugin.

Prerequisites

The software package must be available on the update site, http://update.tibco.com/eclipse/bw/version (where the version at the end of the address reflects the version of BusinessWorks you are using). Typically, the package name has the format <plugin_name>_<version>_p2installer.zip.

After installing the software, restart TIBCO Business Studio™. This restart is necessary for the software to install completely.

Procedure

  1. Start Business Studio.
    • Windows: Select Start > All Programs > TIBCO > TIBCO_HOME > TIBCO Business Studio version_number > Studio for Designers.
    • Linux or Mac OS: Run the executable located in the TIBCO_HOME/studio/version_number/eclipse directory.
  2. Select Help > Install New Software to open Eclipse Update Manager.
  3. In the Install dialog box, enter the public update site URL: http://update.tibco.com/eclipse/bw/version, in the Work with field.
    To add and save the URL to the list of available software sites, select Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites.
  4. Select the plugin name. Click Next.
    Note: You can select multiple plugins at the same time.
  5. In the Install Details dialog box, review the components you want to install. Click Next.
  6. In the Review Licenses dialog box, review the licenses, and click I accept the terms of the license agreement.
  7. Click Finish to start the installation. Restart Business Studio after the installation is complete.
