Using the Setup files

To install the OASP4J IDE follow this steps:

Short:

  1. Download Eclipse Installer and from this repo: OASP4J.setup and the content of Setup Task Repositories

  2. Locate the zip files in the same directory as the installer

  3. Start the installer and add the setup file.

  4. Chose a JDK for JRE1.7 Location

  5. Start the installation process

In all details:

  1. Download the content of Setup Task Repositories into a folder on your disk (i.e. Downloads)

  2. Download the eclipse installer from the eclipse page into the same directory as the Setup Task Repositories

  3. Start the eclipse installer and choose the 'advanced mode' from the menu in the upper right corner

    1. The installer will ask you (now and everytime it restarts) if you want to keep it in a permanent place. This is optional. If you want to use the installer for several eclipse installations you can chose 'yes'. Otherwise chose 'no'.

  4. Use the green plus sign right above the product catalogue to add the product file (OASP4J.setup)

  5. Chose the OASP4J from the tree view and click next

    1. Currently we only support windows for this automatic installation.

    2. The selected JRE is used for the installer only

    3. If your pc already has a p2 pool you can select it. This is optional.

  6. The next page shows projects you can check out. This is NOT needed for the GSE Project. Click next

  7. OASP4J.setup uses customized setup tasks. The installer will now install missing plugins and update it’s other plugins. Click finish.

    1. The installer will ask you to accept licences and add unsigned content. In order to perform this installation you should do so.

  8. Fill the blanks. Chose a JDK for JRE1.7 Location. Click next

  9. You should see now a list of all tasks that will be executed. You can unselect any task you do not need (if you already downloaded own programm archives)

  10. The installer will now start to perform the tasks.

  11. The installation process can take a while, especially if you do not use an already existing p2 pool.

    1. Select ./software/nodejs as installation location in the nodejs installer

    2. Select ./software/python as installation location in the python installer. Unselect the addtional editors

    3. Uncheck the 'Launch automatically'

    4. Make some coffe. Depending on the eclipse plugin repositories this installation may take up to one hour.

  12. At the end of the installation process the install.log will open to show you if all additional files have been correctly downloaded and placed. Close the log for the installer to perform the final step (creating the workspace and your eclipse startup script)

After the installation:

  1. Start the IDE with the newly created eclipse-*.bat script in your installation root

  2. Check if all required packages are downloaded in software

    1. ant

    2. eclipse

    3. elasticsearch

    4. java

    5. logstash

    6. maven

    7. tomcat

    8. If one is missing:

      1. Inside Eclipse:Help>Perform Setup Tasks

      2. Chose only those tasks that are missing
