Plug-ins for Eclipse and Rational Application Developer

Plug-ins provide access to Management Console features from within Eclipse and Rational® Application Developer IDEs.

The following plug-ins are available for the Eclipse and Rational Application Developer environments:

Frequency

With the Frequency plug-in, a developer can complete these tasks:

  • Access one or more Management Consoles to view projects
  • Launch jobs
  • View job status
  • View build logs of running and completed jobs
Reflector

The Reflector plug-in run jobs using files in a local environment. These jobs are commonly run to test new code before checking it into source control for other developers or production builds to use.

Eclipse plug-in users have the option to override values for project environment variables. When you start a Build Forge project, the Job Settings pop-up is displayed. Changes to environment variables apply to the job only. Default variable values for the project are not changed.
