Update site

Q4E is now Eclipse IAM

Releases will still be published in this site until full migration to the Eclipse Foundation happens.

If you had Q4E version 0.8.1 or lower read the Upgrading to Eclipse IAM instructions

http://q4e.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/updatesite-iam/

We recommend installing into Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers as it already includes most of the dependencies.

Eclipse 3.5 Galileo and 3.6 Helios

Go to Help - Install New Software

Click on Add and add the Eclipse IAM update site at http://q4e.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/updatesite-iam/

Make sure that Contact all update sites during install to find required software is checked and the Galileo or Helios Update Sites (depending on your eclipse version) are enabled in Available Software Sites preference page.

Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede

Go to Help - Software Updates - Available Software

Click on Manage Sites - Add and add the Eclipse IAM update site at http://q4e.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/updatesite-iam/

Also add the following Update Sites, or make sure they are checked in the Manage Sites screen, depending on your version of Eclipse

• Ganymede Update Site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede (checked by default)

Recommended third party plugins

We suggest the installation of the Web Tools Platform XML editor so you can benefit from auto completion, error checking,... while editing the pom.xml files.

You can install it from the Eclipse Update site that you should already have in your sites list, or following the instructions in the WTP downloads page

In your poms make sure you use the full header with the schema declaration:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd">

<!-- your pom contents -->

</project>

There's also a developer's update site used for testing prereleases at http://q4e.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/updatesite-dev/
