This section describes how to install and install the eclipse UML plug-in. When learning the UML modeling language, you may encounter such problems. Here we will give a brief introduction. I believe you will have some understanding of the UML plug-in through this section.
Eclipse UML plug-in and Installation
I. Eclipse UML plug-in and Installation
1. Download the UML plug-in
Plug-in center: http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/
Best: togetherforeclipse, go to the Borland website
Eclipseuml, also very good, http://www.omondo.com/
UML2, truly free plug-in, belongs to eclipse project, http://www.eclipse.org/uml2/
Jude, external tools, small and easy to use, http://objectclub.esm.co.jp/Jude/
2. Install the plug-in
1). Unpack the package and copy it to the Plugins directory (if it is a jar file, you do not need to undo it)
2 ). create a links file under the eclipse package, and then create a plug-in name. link file, including the path of the plug-in package to be added, such as Path = .. /plugins/xxxplug restart eclipse.
Ii. Eclipse plug-in installation instructions
Let's take a look at the installation of the eclipse UML plug-in and the Eclipse plug-in during installation. Eclispe should be familiar to everyone. Generally, Eclipse plug-ins are installed in the Plugins directory. However, after many plug-ins are installed, eclipse becomes very large. The most important thing is that it is not easy to update and manage many plug-ins. Installing the Eclipse plug-in using links can solve this problem.
Xpsp1, eclipse3.0.1
Now let's assume that my eclipse installation directory is D:/eclipse and the plug-in directory to be installed is D:/plug-in. I will install languagepackfeature (Language Pack) EMF-SDO-XSD-SDK, GEF-SDK, and lomboz.
Put all the four plug-ins in the D:/plug-in directory and decompress them separately. For example, if lomboz3.0.1.zip is decompressed to the lomboz3.0.1 Directory, which contains a directory of plugins, you must first create a subdirectory eclipse in the directory of lomboz3.0.1, and then move the directory of plugins to the newly created eclipse directory, that is, the directory structure is D:/plug-in/lomboz3.0.1/Eclipse/plugins.
Eclipse will go to the specified directory to find the eclipse/features directory and Eclipse/Plugins directory to see if there are legal functional components and (or) plug-ins. That is to say, the target directory must contain a/eclipse directory. If the attached feature and eclipse UML plug-in are found, the configuration will be available at runtime. If the linked file is added after the workspace is created, the additional feature and plug-in will be processed as new configuration changes.
If the eclipse/Plugins directory is already included in other compressed files after decompression, you do not need to create an eclipse directory.
Then create a subdirectory links in the eclipse Installation Directory D:/eclipse directory, and create a link file in the links directory, such as languagepackfeature. link: Change the file content to Path = D:/plug-in/languagepackfeature. That is, the link file must correspond to a directory of the plug-in just extracted.
Note:
1. Plug-ins can be installed in multiple custom directories.
2. Multiple plug-ins can be installed in a custom directory.
3.The file name and extension name of The Link file can be any name, such as ddd.txt and myplugin.
4. In the link file, Path = the path of the plug-in directory must be separated by // or/
5. There can also be multiple link files in the links directory, and the path parameter in each link file will take effect.
6. You can use relative paths in the eclipse UML plug-in directory.
7. You can create a subdirectory in the links directory to transfer unused plug-ins to this subdirectory to accelerate eclipse startup.
8. If you cannot see the plug-in after installation, delete the configuration directory under the eclipse directory and restart. This section describes the eclipse UML plug-in and installation content.
