The greex editor - setup phase 1

Using the Greex editor you can conveniently create and modify an advanced XML file, which is also referred as the *.greex file. The advanced XML file is used to define new advanced XML conditions to evaluate them on the input data.

Installing prerequisite software components

This section describes the various software components required for creating an advanced XML condition or a Greex rule using the Greex Editor. Before creating an advanced XML condition using Greex Editor, ensure that you have already installed the following software components.

  • Eclipse SDK

    Install the Eclipse SDK version that IBM® supports.

  • Eclipse Related plug-in

    Install the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) plug-in version that IBM supports.

  • Java™ Development Kit (JDK)

    Install the JDK version that IBM supports.

    Note: If you are using a browser with JRE version lower than 1.5, the exception java.security.AccessControlException displays when you try to open the Greex rule using the Applications Manager.

    To resolve this error, in the JRE_HOME/lib/security/java.policy file, add the following property under the default permission for all domains section:

    permission java.util.PropertyPermission "java.home", "read";

    where JRE_HOME is the JRE installation directory.

    Now, close all the browser instances and again log in to your application.

  • Greex plug-in

    Install the Other Tools plug-in that IBM supports.

    This plug-in is shipped along with the application and can be found at INSTALL_DIR/platformrcp/6_0/othertools.
