Eclipse RCP

To download and install your HATS rich client application in an Eclipse rich client environment, the client environment must be configured to access the update site containing the application. By default, since automatic install and update is disabled, the user or administrator must manually install the new features or updates using the standard Eclipse Software Update functions. To do this perform the following steps on the client system.

1. From the Eclipse client menu bar, select Help > Install New Software.
   Note: Depending on your Eclipse client configuration, this menu item may be located under a different menu.
2. Click the Add button and then the Local button.
3. Browse to the location of the update site you created for the HATS project and click OK.
4. Select your HATS update site. If you gave the update site a category named HATS, select the check box beside HATS and make sure all the check boxes underneath it are also selected, or you can click the Select All button. If you don’t see your update site category listed, make sure to have the Group items by category check box selected. Click Next.
5. Review and confirm the items being installed. Click Next.
6. Select I accept the terms in the license agreement and click Finish.
7. If you see a security warning that the software being installed contains unsigned content, click OK.
8. Your HATS application is installed.
9. When prompted to restart the workbench, click Yes.
10. You can then run your application by first opening the Host Access perspective (Window->Open Perspective-> Host Access). Your HATS application is listed in the Applications view. To start your application, either double-click it or right-click and select Open.
