[WDSCI-L] Re: WDSc Plug-in install and configuration

["Mark Phippard" <MarkP@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim,

The first thing you will need to know is what version of Eclipse those 
plugins were built for.  There are some fairly significant differences 
between Eclipse 1.0 and 2.0 and even the just released 2.1. 

WDSC 4.0 is equivalent to Eclipse 1.0.

Generally speaking, installing plugins is then just a matter of copying 
the folders for the plugins to the "plugins" folder. 

To see if the plugins are installed, do Help -> About and then press the 
plugin info button.  This will show you all of the loaded plugins.  It 
could be that it is loaded and you just do not know how to get to it. 
Generally, it would likely be one or more views.  Do Window -> Show View 
-> Other and see if you can find it.  In WDSC 4.0 it would be Perspective 
-> Show View -> Other.

Mark

Greetings!

I am trying to get this eclipse thing figured out, configured, and in 
general, understood.  I have seen posts that state that you can add 
plugins 
to the IDE that let you do just about anything you might want to.  To test 

this out I downloaded and attempted to install the JMF and MP3 player 
plugin. The JMF lets me play the mp3 files.  Eclipse/WDSc V4.0 does not do 

what I anticipated it doing, which is put the play buttons someplace in 
the 
IDE tool bars. It does not seem to know that the plugin exists.

I then downloaded the latest stable Eclipse version  and tried to the same 

thing, with the exact same result, ... nothing.  I know that it is my 
ignorance of the process and I must be overlooking something obvious, but 
can someone direct me as to how plugins are installed into the IDE (either 

Eclipse or WDSc or both)?  I have had limited success in doing what seems 
to me to be an easy thing.  The search of help did not help.  It only 
confused me more.


Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
