Installing the Eclipse IDE and Agentry Editor Plug-In

The Agentry Editor is the primary development tool for building metadata-driven mobile applications. The Agentry Editor is provided as a plug-in to the Eclipse IDE. Install and configure the proper version of Eclipse first, then install the plug-in to the Eclipse implementation.

Prerequisites

Install SAP Mobile Platform SDK and SAP Mobile Platform Server. You need access to the machines on which the SDK and server are installed.
Install Visual Studio 2010 or Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package. If you are running Eclipse on the same machine in which you installed SAP Mobile Platform Server, Microsoft Visual C++ is already installed.
Determine if you require the 32-bit or 64-bit installers for the Agentry Editor and Eclipse IDE.
Log in to the intended host system as a user with Administrative privileges.
Be sure to maintain Internet access during the Agentry Editor plug-in installation to allow for the download of any dependent modules to the Eclipse implementation.

Task

Install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the Agentry Editor. This version must match the Eclipse IDE version.

Download the proper Eclipse IDE version, then extract it to a directory in the desired location.
- 32-Bit Build: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.2.2-201302041200/eclipse-SDK-4.2.2-win32.zip

Install the Java Runtime Environment.
- If you install it under the Eclipse home directory, for example, C:\eclipse\jre, you do not have to modify any environmental variables.
- If you install it to the default location, be sure to add the paths for the jre\bin and jre\lib directories to the Path environment variable in Windows before attempting to start Eclipse.
Copy the Agentry Editor Eclipse plug-in zip file from the SDK_HOME\AgentryToolkit\AgentryEditors directory to the system where you installed the Eclipse IDE.
