General information

Java Version

To be able to use the OS.bee Softwarefactory you need to install the right Java version.

On Windows, this is Java JDK 8 64bit Java SE Downloads.

In case you need to use several Java versions on your system, see additional information in [#InstalltheOS.Additional Information Java versions]

Eclipse Version

To be able to use the OS.bee Softwarefactory you need to start with the right Eclipse version. You can use this one Eclipse Luna DSL Developers SR2. Download and extract it to a place you like.

Installation of the Softwarefactory

Install the OS.bee Softwarefactory

before you start

The following change in the eclipse.ini might help to avoid timeout problems with servers that respond slowly.

-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.retrieve.closeTimeout=3000
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.retrieve.readTimeout=3000

And it will help to give the Eclipse a little more memory:

-Xmx4096m

A resulting eclipse.ini for a Windows installation might look like:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1.200.v20150204-1316
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.dsl.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize

--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.retrieve.closeTimeout=3000
-Dorg.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.retrieve.readTimeout=3000
-Xms128m
-Xmx4096m

- You will then be prompted to restart Eclipse. Please do so!

Set Targetplatform for the OS.bee Softwarefactory EE

- Check the workspace you are using (see section [wiki:OsbeeInstallSWF#Installation Installation] above) - is it the one you want to use for the further processing? If not, open the right one.

 You can add the parameter {{{-data <path/to/workspace}}} to a shortcut you use to start Eclipse. This will help using the right workspace in the future. It also removes the question about the workspace on Eclipse startup. 

- Then set the targetplatform here: Menu -> Window -> Preferences -> Plug-in Development -> Target Platform

 and uncheck the include required software checkbox.
