Installing NaturalONE via the Software AG Installer is a prerequisite for using NaturalONE in your existing Eclipse environment. This installation provides the plugins of NaturalONE in the directory <your-installation-directory>/naturalone/updates.
The typical way to install NaturalONE is via the Software AG Installer. However, you may prefer to use an already existing Eclipse environment. In this case, specific versions of Eclipse and Java are required. See Eclipse Prerequisites and Java Prerequisites in the section System Requirements.
Install the plugins via > .
During installation on the very first Available Software dialog, deselect the item Contact all update sites during install to find required software, as this option may lead to unintended updates on other Eclipse plugins.

Generation, then the following plugin must be installed before all other
gen plugins:
com.softwareag.naturalone.gen.testing-one<version>.zip
All other plugins can then be installed in any order.
Copy the file naturalone.properties from the directory <your-installation-directory>/naturalone/updates of the NaturalONE installation to the directory of your own Eclipse installation that contains the file eclipse.exe. Normally, this is the root folder of the Eclipse installation.
If the installation from the Software AG Installer is on the same machine on which your own Eclipse installation is located, then you are done, and you can use NaturalONE from within your own Eclipse environment.
Copy the following directories from <your-installation-directory>/naturalone to a new directory that is accessible from your own Eclipse environment:
/apache-tomcat
/njx
/samples
Adjust the corresponding paths in the file naturalone.properties accordingly.
Use the Software AG Update Manager to install the latest fixes of NaturalONE into your installation from the Software AG Installer.
After the update installation you will find the directory <your-installation-directory>/install/fix/backup/Designer/repo from where the fixes can be installed.
If your installation from the Software AG Installer is on the same machine, as your own Eclipse environment you can define this directory as local Software Site for your Eclipse.
If your installation from the Software AG Installer is on a different machine, copy this directory with all its subfolders to your machine and define it there as local Software Site.
Choose > , deselect all other sites and select the NaturalONE update site. Then install the update.
Copy the following directories from <your-installation-directory>/naturalone to the according directory of your Eclipse:
/apache-tomcat
/njx
