Setting up the plug-in samples environment

Set up the environment for the plug-in Samples by building the sample pattern type.

Before you begin

The following products are required before you set up the environment:
  • Eclipse version 3.6.2 or higher, either 32-bit or 64-bit. The Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) version is recommended.
    • If you use Eclipse, you can use the Ant that comes with it. Do not install Ant separately. Ant is in the Eclipse installation directory at eclipse/plugins/org.apache.ant_1.*.
  • Java Standard Edition (SE) version 6 or later. The most recent version is recommended.
  • Apache Ant, 1.7 or later.
  • Python 2.6 or 2.7.
  • PyDev is optional, but is suggested if you plan to use the Plug-in Development Kit for Python development.
