How to install the JEE build

[varnica]

Dear friends,

It is important to respect the following 3 rules in order to enjoy the full power of EclipseUML 2007 for JEE modelers.
I have not changed it the first time that I used this jee build, and my eclipse has been crashing every 5 minutes

1. Don't forget to change your eclipse.ini file.
My file is as below and it works well:
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
-XX:PermSize=512m
-Djava.home=H:\pgm\jdk1.5\jre\

2. You should change your eclipse Java Compiler and select JDK 5 or JDK 6. Don't select JRE .
To avoid such a painfull problem, we recommend to change it if it is possible. Go to the eclipse menu bar select Window > Preferences > Java > Compiler compliance 5.0 (see quick start documentation at: http://www.ejb3.org/forum_pictures/jee_ ... ration.png

3. You could also add your Jee server in order to have a good jee code generation and immediate deployment for testing. EclipseUML 2007 is so flexible that you can just play with your model and have a look at the results
To add a new server, go to go to the eclipse menu bar select Window > Preferences > Server > Installed Runtimes
I use JBoss 4.2 and I needed to downnload JBoss 4.2 from: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/jboss/ ... g_mirror=1
and to unzip this file. I have then selected the jboss-'.2.2.GA in the New server Runtime wizard and fill up the the Application Server directory field.
(see quick start documentation at: http://www.ejb3.org/forum_pictures/server_setup.png

This JEE build is just amazing, and the power of both the Model driven development and the Eclipse plugins approaches delivers incredible results

It seems that many users didn't succeed to set up successfully their JEE configuration. I must admit that I didn't myself succeeded to install it well at my first try
My team helped me and have provided the following information:

My Windows path should be as on the picture: http://www.ejb3.org/forum_pictures/vari ... nement.gif
PATH : H:\pgm\jdk1.5
JAVA_HOME: H:\pgm\jdk1.5

Eclipse Java Preferences should be: http://www.ejb3.org/forum_pictures/ecli ... rences.gif
You can find this menu by selecting Preference in the Eclipse toolbar > Java > Installed JREs


You will then be able to generate code without any problem. Please note that if the WTP project shows errors, this is because of xml style validation and not because of code error !!!
The Java code is good and could immediately be deployed

Dear friends,

Many of you complained that the JEE build is not easy to install and didn't want to change their JDK/JRE current configuration
We will therefore provide a new EclipseUML JEE + Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers - Windows (126 MB) installer for our new EclipseUML Studio 2008 build.

This installer will allow you:

1. to install Eclipse+EclipseUML JEE as a standalone application inside an installer. You just install and it works immediately.
2. to add other plugins to our standalone build because we use Eclipse IDE. The standalone build for Omondo just means that we have integrated Eclipse 3.3 with EclipseUML and that we have not changed Eclipse plugin approach
3. to add your JDK path in the installer. It means that you will be able to create a specific JDK path for EclipseUML which will not be used by other installed application
4. add a desktop shortcut and an windows menu (only for Windows 2000, XP and Vista).


This new installer is a major improvement for users not willing spend time in building manually their eclipse 3.3 configuration.
Other users can use the traditional packaging.

Vlad,
