Also in RMC V7.1 are new RUP plug-ins and many of the plug-ins here are available in more language versions than those listed below. New downloadable plug-ins are also avaliable for RMC V7.1 from the IBM Rational Method Composer 7.1 Plug-ins index page.

Installation

This procedure describes how to install a plug-in packaged in a stand-alone library. There are two options: install the plug-in in a stand-alone library (as follows) or install the plug-in as part of an existent library (see the section entitled: Installing in an existing library, below).

Note: You must have Rational Method Composer installed on your computer.

1. Download and unzip the plug-in zip file to a convenient location
2. Start Rational Method Composer
3. In the Open a method library window, click Browse
4. Select the library that you just unzipped. If RMC opens your default library, use the File > Open > Method Library command

Note: The library.xmi file should be present in the selected folder.

5. Click OK.

Installing in an existing library

• Go to File > Import and choose Library configuration
• Uncheck the Use Default Directory checkbox
• Browse to the place you unzipped the downloaded file and select it
