9.2. Installing

You install the JBoss AOP IDE in the same way as any other Eclipse plugin.

  • Make sure you have Eclipse 3.0.x installed, and start it up.
  • Select Help > Software Updates > Find and Install in the Eclipse workbench.
  • In the wizard that opens, click on the "Search for new features to install" radio button, and click Next.
  • On the next page you will need to add a new update site for JBossIDE. Click the "New Remote Site.." button.
  • Type in "JBossIDE" for the name, and "http://jboss.sourceforge.net/jbosside/updates" for the URL, and click OK.
  • You should see a new site in the list now called JBossIDE. click the "+" sign next to it to show the platforms available.
  • Now, depending if you just want to install the AOP IDE (if you don't know what JBoss-IDE is, go for this set of options):
    • Check the "JBoss-IDE AOP Standalone" checkbox.
    • In the feature list you should check the "JBoss-IDE AOP Standalone 1.0" checkbox.

    If you have JBoss-IDE installed, or want to use all the other (non-AOP) features of JBoss-IDE:

    • If you don't have JBossIDE installed, check the "JBoss-IDE 1.4/Eclipse 3.0" checkbox.
    • Check the "JBoss-IDE AOP Extension" checkbox.
    • In the feature list you should check the "JBoss-IDE AOP Extension 1.0" checkbox, and the JBoss-IDE (1.4.0) checkbox if you don't have JBossIDE installed.
  • At this point you should only need to accept the license agreement(s) and wait for the install process to finish.
