Eclipse is a frequently used development environment. ArcGIS Eclipse IDE plugins provides plug-ins developed by AO on the eclipse platform. Based on some of my experiences, the following series of blogs talk about how to develop AO and AE using the Java language on the eclipse platform. If there is anything inappropriate, I would like to express my gratitude.
1. Prerequisites
First, the JDK version must be 1.6.0 _ 20 or later. Note that if JDK is installed with JRE, no installation is required, if the path reference is incorrect during SOE extension development, the following error may occur.
Use eclipse Helios (3.6) and later versions. Here we deploy the SDK based on your JDK 32-bit or 64-bit. We recommend that you use the 32-bit version. The 64-bit version may cause an error in License initialization failure during AO development.
2. Platform Installation
Select "installnew software" under "help" in Eclipse IDE to check whether the previous version of the plug-in has been installed. If yes, uninstall it.
Add the folder where the ArcGIS Eclipse IDE plug-ins are located. The plug-in is in the <ArcGIS developer kitfolder>/Java/tools/eclipse_plugin/arcgis_update_site/ArcObjects folder. OK. For more information, see the help manual.
The following interface is displayed during installation. Two installation options are available: esriarcobjects and esriarcobjectspalette. The first project must be installed. If you want to develop through the interface plug-in view, you can select the second project and select ESRI.
The condition of arcobjectspalette is that the visual editor plug-in has been installed in Eclipse IDE. After the installation is completed, you can develop the program.
3) development wizard
After installation, you can use the development Wizard to create an AO development template. For more information, see the AO development help.
