About this task
The p2 Install Repository is a compressed file that uses an Eclipse update site (or
p2 repository) to get Engineering Workflow Management client features, bundles and its EMF and
GEF dependencies.
Procedure
- Download and install a supported version of Eclipse from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ or one of the Eclipse
mirror sites.
-
Extract the compressed file to a directory. For example,
- On Windows, extract to: C:\dev\eclipse-ewm
- On Mac, extract to: /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/eclipse-ewm
- For Windows operating system, double-click the eclipse.exe
executable file in C:\dev\eclipse-ewm to open it.
- You need a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) version 11 or higher in your path for this to work. If
needed, you can add the JVM path to the
C:\dev\eclipse-ewm\eclipse.ini
file by
adding the following two lines to the file just before
vmargs
.-vm
C:\path\to\java.exe
- For the Mac operating system, double-click
the Eclipse.app executable file
in /Users/YOUR_USERNAME/eclipse-ewm to open it. You can also drag & drop
the Eclipse app icon to Applications for quick access.
- You need a Java virtual machine (JVM) version 11 or higher in your path for this to work. If

-
To install language packs for the client, download a Client for Eclipse IDE National Language
Support Pack (NLS pack) from the Engineering Workflow Management downloads page.
Tip: NLS Pack 1 contains translations in Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Italian,
Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Spanish. NLS pack 2 contains
translations in Czech, Hungarian, Polish, and Russian. NLS pack 2a contains translation in
Turkish.
- Select to stop the client.
-
Extract the language pack .zip file to a folder named dropins under the
Eclipse directory created in step 2. For example,
- On Windows, extract to: C:\dev\eclipse-ewm\eclipse\dropins
- On Mac, extract to:
/Users/YOUR_USERNAME/eclipse-ewm/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/dropins
- If the system locale for your operating system is already in the language you want to
launch Eclipse in, all you have to do is to launch Eclipse normally, and the language packs are
loaded . If the system locale is in English and you want to launch Eclipse in another language (for
example, French), you must launch Eclipse with the -nl command line argument. For example,
- On Windows:
eclipse.exe -nl fr
- On Mac:
./eclipse -nl fr
