Do the following to prepare the development environment:
▪ Copy the com.ibm.btt.rcp.visualbean_7.1.0 plug-in to your Eclipse or RAD plug-in folder. This is the tooling plug-in for SWT Visual Beans extension which is installed by the installer (Default).
▪ The plug-in folder for Eclipse is: eclipse_home/plugins/
▪ The plug-in folder for RAD is: RAD_home/SDP70/plugins/
▪ View your target platform. From Eclipse or RAD click Window > Preferences. The Preference dialog box pops up, expand the Plug-in Development in the left panel, and click Target Platform:
The Location field shows the path of the target platform. If you want to develop a pure eclipse RCP application, this field is your eclipse path, and if you want to develop a Lotus Expeditor application, this field is your Lotus Expeditor runtime path.
▪ Copy the following plugins to the $Location/plugins/ folder:
▪ com.ibm.btt.core_7.1.0
▪ com.ibm.btt.csclient.http_7.1.0
▪ com.ibm.btt.rcp.activity_7.1.0
▪ com.ibm.btt.rcp.broker_7.1.0
▪ com.ibm.btt.rcp.navigator_7.1.0
▪ com.ibm.btt.rcp.perspective_7.1.0
▪ com.ibm.btt.rcp.service.manager_7.1.0
▪ com.ibm.btt.rcp.workingarea_7.1.0
▪ com.ibm.btt.rcp.visualbeans.runtime_7.1.0
▪ com.ibm.btt.rcp.theme_7.1.0
▪ com.ibm.btt.rcp.xui_7.1.0
▪ com.ibm.btt.rcp.xui.editor_7.1.0
If you want to develop a Lotus Expeditor application, copy com.ibm.btt.rcp.broker.xpd_7.1.0 to the $Location/plugins/ folder together. This plug-in is used to integrate with Lotus Expeditor property broker.
These plug-ins are runtime plug-ins for your application usage in runtime, so you need to copy them to the runtime platform. You can find them at <toolkit_root>/plugins directory
▪ Add -clean to your eclipse shortcut for eclipse to load new plug-ins. Restart RAD or Eclipse, then your IDE is ready to develop RCP applications.
