MQ Explorer now has its own update site! This makes it easier than ever to install MQ Explorer into your Eclipse environment - simply drag the install icon below onto your Eclipse toolbar:

Drag to Eclipse:

That will bring up a dialog to confirm the selection of features. Then simply follow the usual steps to install and restart, and then you can open the MQ Explorer perspective. The update site includes the latest available update for V7.5, which is 7.5.0.2 at the time of writing. You will then be able to use the Eclipse "Check for Updates" feature to update to future fixpacks.

This is made possible thanks the MQ Explorer entry on the Eclipse Marketplace.

See my previous blog post "Supported environments for IBM WebSphere MQ Explorer" for more details about supported Eclipse environments for MQ Explorer.

 

What's more, MQ Explorer is now also included in the new IBM Explorer for z/OS offering. Simply follow the instructions there or add the z/OS update site to your Eclipse and then you can choose what to install from a range of great tools including CICS Explorer:
