Download Eclipse

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

• Download Eclipse SDK (so far so good with version 3.4 or greater), the common developers version is not enough, because we'll need to develop Equinox plugin and bundles. (For instance download the Eclipse Modeling Tools)

Install Subclipse

• As usual install the Subclipse plugin using the Eclipse market or following the instructions from the url

http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectProcess?pageID=p4wYuA

Install PDE

• Install PDE software o check it is installed correctly. There are two ways to find out if PDE is installed (Eclipse Plug-in development environment).
  • From Windows -> Preferences: The new option 'Plug-in Development' is active.

After check it out if it's installed and didn't find it then can be installed using the eclipse market.

Equinox Download

http://archive.eclipse.org/equinox/drops/R-3.5-200906111540/index.php#Equinox

• Download the Equinox bundles that we need to run the application from Eclipse:

  org.eclipse.equinox.transforms.hook - Transformer Hook Framework Extension

  org.eclipse.equinox.wireadmin - Wire Admin Service

  org.eclipse.equinox.util - Equinox Util Bundle

  org.eclipse.osgi - OSGi System Bundle

  org.eclipse.osgi.services - OSGi Release 4.0.1 Services

  org.eclipse.osgi.util - OSGi Release 4.0.1 Utility Classes

• Once all are downloaded, copy all to the eclipse plugins folder from the file explorer.

• Restart Eclipse to update the new loaded plug-ins. Maybe need run eclipse -clean from the console to update the OSGI plugins.

Install Maven

• Download the latest Maven from your operating system that we need to compile the application from console, follow the installation instructions for your operating system.
