If you are using this plugin, make sure your project is set to build with Ant, not Gradle. Gradle is not supported yet. Additionally, the default build file name
build-extension.xmlshould not be changed.
- The plugin automatically increments the patch version of the extension with each run. For example, if the current version is
1.0.8, it will increment to1.0.9. This is essential because ThingWorx only allows the import of incremental versions of any extension.If you want to update the major or minor version, need to do it manually. - The plugin executes the build file and generates a
.zipdistribution of the extension. - It then uploads the extension to a configured ThingWorx server using HTTP REST APIs. An Admin-level APP Key is required for this process.
Download the .jar file from the release page and place it into the dropins folder of your Eclipse IDE.
Restart Eclipse IDE. Once restarted, you'll see a new icon in the toolbar of your IDE.
You can now use the plugin. When you click the icon, the following dialog will appear:
In the dialog, select the extension project, set the server address, and add an appKey with Admin-level access. Be sure to click "Update TWX details" to save the details for future use.
Note: Ensure that you have compiled your extension outside of this plugin at least once and refreshed the project content. This is a known bug that I am working on. Otherwise, you will receive the following error:
If everything goes well when you click "OK", you will receive a success message, and the extension will be deployed to the server.
