AJDT is
installed using the Eclipse Update Manager. We recommend you use Eclipse 3.0,
but AJDT v 1.1.4 will work with Eclipse 2.1.x.
1. If you need to use a proxy server to access the internet, the first thing
to do is configure the proxy details so that the update manager can contact the
AJDT Update Site. From the Window menu select preferences, and then the
Install/Update tab.
2. Create an update site bookmark for the AJDT update site, and start the
install procedure.
In Eclipse 3.0: From the help menu, select Software Updates -> Find and Install… . Select “Search for new features to install” and click next.
Click “Add Update Site.” Enter the name
“AJDT update site” and the URL
“http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ajdt/30/update”. Click ok.
Fully
expand the AJDT Update Site node that appears, and select “AspectJ.” Click
next. Select “Eclipse AspectJ Development Tools 1.1.12”
Select Next, accept the license agreement, and proceed to the
installation.
From the
help menu select Software Updates -> Update Manager. The Feature Updates
view appears in the bottom right-hand corner.
Right-click on the background of this view to bring up the context menu
and select New -> Site Bookmark. Enter the name “AJDT update site” and the URL
“http://download.eclipse.org/technology/ajdt/update”. Click finish.
Fully
expand the AJDT Update Site node that appears, and select “Eclipse AspectJ
Development Tools 1.1.4.” In the preview
pane, select “Install…”
Proceed as
for a clean install, except that the AJDT Update Site bookmark should already
exist – so all you need to do is expand it and go. If the version you have
installed is the same as the version on the update site (or more recent even),
then you will not be presented with any install options.
When
Eclipse has restarted, selecting Help->About Eclipse Platform should show
the AspectJ feature icon alongside the Eclipse one.
In Eclipse 3.0 the AJDT welcome pages have been integrated into the Eclipse Platform welcome pages. You can view these by selecting "Welcome" from the help menu and then following the Overview, Tutorials, Samples or the What's New links.
In Eclipse 2.1.x if it’s not
already showing, you can see the welcome page for AJDT by selecting “Welcome…”
from the help menu and then “AspectJ Development Tools.” (It’s a good idea to switch to the Java
Perspective at this point if you’re not already in it).
The blue
links in the welcome page are “live” and will initiate the appropriate actions
directly in Eclipse.
