Pre-requisites

LegStar Eclipse plugins require Eclipse version 3.2.1 and above.

Any previous version of the LegStar Eclipse plugins must be uninstalled before installing this version.

At development time, the Eclipse plugins are standalone and don't necessitate that you install the core product. When you deploy your Transformers and Services though, you will need an easy access to the LegStar libraries and will find it easier to get them from the core LegStar product that you can get from this link.

Installing

Within Eclipse, create a remote site using:

  Help --> Install New Software... --> Add

or

  Help-->Software Updates-->Find and Install-->Search for new features-->New Remote site

depending on your Eclipse version.

Name the remote site LegStar and have the URL point to:

  http://www.legsem.com/legstar/eclipse/update

Select all the features.

Uncomment the "Contact all update sites during install to find required software" check box. If you keep it checked, it would still work but calculating requirements and dependencies takes a very long time.

If you get complaints about MD5 checksum being incorrect, you probably have a proxy issue. As an alternative, you can download the update site from this link, add a local site to Eclipse and install from there.

Once installation is complete, restart Eclipse and check that the LegStar plugins show up in:

  Help-->About Eclipse SDK-->Installation Details-->Installed Software

From within Eclipse, setup your preferences:

  Window-->Preferences...-->LegStar

Uninstalling

To uninstall, use:

  Help-->About Eclipse SDK-->Installation Details-->Installed Software.

then right-click on the feature you wish to uninstall.
