Installation

In order to simplify the plug-in installation there is an update site for the plug-in available at:

http://www.osami-commons.org/eluzienus/

The plug-in has been tested against Eclipse 3.4, although it should work in lesser versions if its dependencies are satisfied.

Eclipse 3.4

(Recommended)

Select Help > Software Updates... on the upper menu. Then select the Available Software tab and click on Add site...Write the update site URL and click Ok. Select the eLuzien Plug-in and then click on Install...

Eclipse 3.3

Select Help > Software Updates > Find and Install... on the upper menu. In the next window, select Search for new features to install and click Next. Click on New remote site... and configure the new site with the url of the update site and name eLuzien Plug-in Site. Now make sure the eLuzien Plug-in Site site is checked before clicking on Finish. Finally, select the eLuzien Plug-in and click on Finish.

Important note: In order to be able to install the plug-in on Eclipse 3.3 you must have installed the org.apache.commons.httpclient 3.1 plug-in and its dependencies (commons-io and commons-codec)

Usage

Once we have installed eLuzien Repository plug-in, we must set up the repository configuration to which we are going to upload bundles. This step might not be neccesary as the default configuration points to the current location of the repository. However, in case it must be configured the folowing steps have to be taken: Select Window > Preferences on the upper menu on Eclipse. In the next screen, select OSAMI Repository. A configuration screen will appear so you can set up our plug-in preferences. Configure your repository name and URL, and press Ok.

Now we are all set to use the plug-in. Select one plug-in project in your workspace and get the contextual menu by doing right click over it.

The ActiveRepos menu shows three available options:

  • Add: Lets you upload the bundle to the repository previously configured. If there is another bundle in the repository with the same name and version that the one you are trying to upload, you will get an error message.
  • Update: Lets you update the bundle to the repository previously configured . The bundle must exist in the repository prior to the update attempt or you will get an error message. Note that bundles with the same name but different versions are considered different bundles and you will have to add them instead of update if there is a version change.
  • Delete: Lets you delete a bundle from the previously configured repository. Again, bundle with same name and version that the one you are trying to delete must exist in the repository.
