Prerequisites for installing the Eclipse user interface

You install the plug-in by using Update Manager in your Eclipse workbench.

Before you begin

Before you start, you must have installed an Eclipse workbench on your local computer; for example, Rational® Software Architect.

The Eclipse installation must include the org.apache.xerces feature. You can download the Eclipse Web Tools Platform, containing the org.apache.xerces feature, from http://www.eclipse.org/webtools. Copy the following jar files, or the latest equivalent versions, from the plugins directory of the download to the plugins directory of your Eclipse installation:
  • javax.xml_1.3.4.v200806030440.jar
  • org.apache.xerces_2.9.0.v200805270400.jar
  • org.apache.xml.resolver_1.2.0.v200806030312.jar
  • org.apache.xml.serializer_2.7.1.v200806030322.jar
