Install the developer tools from a remote repository

We can install WebSphere Application Server Developer Tools for Eclipse into an existing Eclipse workbench from a repository such as Eclipse Marketplace or WASdev.

To install the Liberty profile developer tools, you require:

• An Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers.
• A runtime environment for Java (JRE).

See Install the Liberty profile developer tools and application-serving environment.

We can install the WAS Developer Tools for Eclipse from installation files located in a remote repository by either using your Eclipse workbench to find the installation files, or by finding a link to the installation files on a web page.

1. Start your Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers workbench.

2. Start the installation using either of the following methods.

   • Locate the installation files from your Eclipse workbench:

     1. Click Help > Eclipse Marketplace.

     2. In the Find field, type WebSphere.
     3. In the list of results, locate IBM WAS version Developer Tools V8.5 and then click Install.

        The Confirm Selected Features page opens.

   • Drag an Install icon from a web page to your Eclipse workbench:

     1. Open the web browser to...
        http://marketplace.eclipse.org/

        ...or...

        www.ibm.com/developerworks/mydeveloperworks/blogs/wasdev/entry/download?lang=en

     2. Select the release to download.

     3. Locate the Install icon () for IBM WAS version Developer Tools.

     4. Select and drag the Install icon to your Eclipse workbench, and drop it on the Eclipse toolbar. The Confirm Selected Features page opens.

3. On the Confirm Selected Features page, expand the parent nodes and select the features to install. When you are finished, click Next.

4. On the Review Licenses page, review the license text. If you agree to the terms, click I accept the terms of the license agreement and then click Finish. The installation process starts.

   During the installation, a Security Warning dialog box might open and display the following message:

   Warning: You are installing software containing unsigned content. The authenticity or validity of this software cannot be established. Do to continue with the installation?

   We can safely ignore the message and click OK to continue.

5. When the installation process completes, restart the workbench.
