Installing CentraSite Plug-ins in Your Own Eclipse Environment

1. CentraSite plug-ins require the Eclipse SDK. If you want to use CentraSite Reporting, download the Eclipse IDE for Java and Report Developers; choose an integrated package that contains both the required Eclipse software and BIRT. If you do not want to use CentraSite Reporting, you can download the Eclipse IDE for Java Developers. Software AG recommends using the same Eclipse version that Software AG Designer uses.

2. Eclipse requires a JRE. Install a supported JRE as listed in System Requirements for Software AG Products.

4. Go to the menu entry Help and click the option to install software. On the Available Software dialog or tab, choose Add or Add Site.

5. On the Add Repository dialog, click Archive. Go to the <Software AG_directory>/Designer/updates directory, select com.softwareag.common.zip, click Open and then click OK. If you need a language pack, install it using the same method.

6. On the Add Repository dialog, click Archive. Go to the <Software AG_directory>/Designer/updates directory, select CentraSiteUpdateSite.zip, click Open and then click OK. If you need a language pack, install it using the same method.

7. The Available Software dialog lists the CentraSite plug-ins under SOA Governance. Click Select All and then click Next.

8. Accept the terms of the license agreements and click Finish.

10. Test the installation as follows:

a. Go to File > New > Project > Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools > Report Project and create a report project.

c. Open the view Report Design > Data Explorer. Right-click Data Sources and then click New Data Source. The dialog box lists the CentraSite data sources you can use to create the XQuery for generating CentraSite reports (that is, CentraSite and CentraSite XQuery).

11. Install fixes in your Eclipse environment as follows:

Note:

Before installing fixes in your Eclipse environment, you have to install all the fixes in your existing Software AG Designer installation.
