After several experiments, only one of the worst methods is successful.
First (Failed
): Method provided by the official website
The installation of the GPD uses the eclipse Software Update mechanic and is pretty straightforward. There is an archived Update site already ded In the runtime installation of jbpm when you unzip itinstall/src/gpd/jbpm-gpd-site.zip
To add the Update site to eclipse:
Help
-->Install New Software...
- Click
Add...
- In Dialog
Add Site
Dialog, clickArchive...
- Navigate
install/src/gpd/jbpm-gpd-site.zip
And click 'open'
- Clicking
OK
InAdd Site
Dialog will bring you back to the dialog 'install'
- Select
jPDL 4 GPD Update Site
That has appeared
- Click
Next...
And thenFinish
- Approve the license
- Restart eclipse when that is asked
- The descriptions on the official website are as follows:
-
Select New archived site
After OK, finish and an error occurs. After several experiments, this method fails.
Method 2 (Failed
): Decompress
Decompress the jbpm-jpdl-designer-site.zip file and select new local site as the red letter in method 1.
The other steps are the same, and the final result is the same!
Method 3 (Successful
): Copy directly
Copy the file decompressed by jbpm-jpdl-designer-site.zip to the myeclipse/eclipse directory, select overwrite, and restart eclipse.
Summary: When we install the eclipse/myeclipse plug-in, we usually use method 1 and method 2 (and the link method). The third method is mandatory. We recommend that you do not use it!
