Plug-in Installation

This section describes the steps necessary to install and configure the Frontier IDE to run Frontier applications from within Eclipse.

To run the sample applications and your custom applications in remote mode, you must also perform the procedures for Remote Setup documented in The Frontier SDK User's Guide & Tutorial

1. From Eclipse, select the Help > Software Updates > Find and Install... menu option.



2. From the Install/Update dialog box, select the Search for new features to install radio button, and click Next.



3. The Install dialog box will vary depending on the features you have already installed. Click the New Remote Site... button. If you are behind a proxy and the Eclipse install mechanism does not work, then you can download a zipped version of the update site and choose the New Local Site... option instead.



4. Fill in the Edit Remote Site dialog box with the following settings, and click OK.

   Name: Frontier IDE
   URL:  http://frontier.parabon.com/download/products/eclipse/frontier-sdk



5. When you return to the Install dialog box, the Frontier IDE site that you just added will not be selected. Be sure to select it before clicking Next.



6. The Updates dialog box displays the Frontier IDE features that are available to install. Select the top-level Frontier IDE feature, and click Next.



7. Accept the terms of the license agreement, and click Next.



8. Confirm the installation location of the Frontier IDE Plug-in, and click Finish. The default location, which is the directory of your Eclipse installation, is acceptable.



9. When the Feature Verification dialog box is displayed, click the Install All button.



10. Finally, when prompted to restart Eclipse after installing the Frontier IDE Plug-in, click Yes. Eclipse will then be restarted, and the Frontier IDE Plug-in installation will complete.
