Do the following to prepare the development environment.
- Copy the com.ibm.btt.rcp.visualbean_6.1.2 plug-in to your Eclipse or RAD
plug-in folder. This is the tooling plug-in for SWT Visual Beans extension
which is installed by BTT installer (Default).
- The plug-in folder for Eclipse is: eclipse_home/plugins/
- The plug-in folder for RAD is: RAD_home/SDP70/plugins/
- View your target platform. From Eclipse or RAD click Window > Preferences.
The Preference dialog box pops up, expand the Plug-in Development in
the left panel, and click Target Platform:
The Location field shows
the path of the target platform. If you want to develop a pure eclipse RCP
application, this field is your eclipse path, and if you want to develop a Lotus® Expeditor
application, this field is your Lotus Expeditor runtime path.
- Copy the following plug-ins to $Location/plugins/ folder:
- com.ibm.btt.core_6.1.2
- com.ibm.btt.csclient.http_6.1.2
- com.ibm.btt.rcp.activity_6.1.2
- com.ibm.btt.rcp.broker_6.1.2
- com.ibm.btt.rcp.navigator_6.1.2
- com.ibm.btt.rcp.perspective_6.1.2
- com.ibm.btt.rcp.service.manager_6.1.2
- com.ibm.btt.rcp.workingarea_6.1.2
- com.ibm.btt.rcp.visualbeans.runtime_6.1.2
- com.ibm.btt.rcp.theme_6.1.2
- com.ibm.btt.rcp.xui_6.1.2
- com.ibm.btt.rcp.xui.editor_6.1.2
If you want to develop a Lotus Expeditor application, please copy
com.ibm.btt.rcp.broker.xpd_6.1.2 to $Location/plugins/ folder together. This
plug-in is used to integrate with Lotus Expeditor property broker.
These
plug-ins are runtime plug-ins for your application usage in runtime, so you
need to copy them to the runtime platform. You can find them at <toolkit_root>/plugins
directory
- Add -clean to your eclipse shortcut for eclipse to load new plug-ins.
Restart RAD or Eclipse, then your IDE is ready to develop BTT RCP applications.
