Configuring the Eclipse environment to run custom integration applications

Use Eclipse facilities to configure the environment to run your custom integration applications.

1. In your Eclipse environment, select File > New > Project.
   The New Project wizard opens.
2. Select Java Project from the options displayed.
   Click Next. The New Java Project window opens.
3. Enter a name for your new project.
   Click Next.
4. Select the Libraries tab, and click Add External Jars.
5. To set up the build environment, navigate to the install_dir/common/classes subdirectory.
   For example, for Version 13.0 on Windows operating systems, navigate to the directory C:\Program Files\IBM\ACE\13.0.n.0\common\classes.
   Select the file IntegrationAPI.jar, and click Open. The file is added to the list in the window for the Libraries tab.
6. When you have added the file IntegrationAPI.jar to the build path, set up the runtime environment.
   Click Add External Jars again, and navigate to the install_dir/common/jackson/lib subdirectory.
   Select each of the JAR files in that directory, and click Open. These files are also added to the list.
7. For local connections, also add install_dir/common/jnr/lib.
8. Click Finish.
