Install MobileFirst Studio


Overview

The procedure below illustrates how to configure an Eclipse IDE with MobileFirst Studio plugin. For IBM Dojo Toolkit V1.10.1, available as part of MobileFirst Studio, ensure at least Eclipse V4.4.1 is installed. MobileFirst Studio is installed with a P2 Eclipse update. MobileFirst Platform Foundation Developer, Consumer, and Enterprise editions provide the same instance of MobileFirst Studio. The internal MobileFirst Development Server embedded in MobileFirst Studio does not include the authenticity feature. Deploying and testing authenticity requires Consumer or Enterprise editions. Install MobileFirst Server, configure it in MobileFirst Studio as an external server, and deploy the application to MobileFirst Server.

If you run into issues using procedure below, an alternate method of configuring Studio is to download the MobileFirst Developer Edition, which is guaranteed to work.
