Swordfish Documentation: Setting Up Registry From Galileo Update Site

Setting up a Swordfish Registry from the Galileo update site

This section contains instructions on setting up the Swordfish Registry by downloading a specific Swordfish Eclipse Runtime Target Platform from the Galileo Update Site.
Additionally this section contains information about running the Swordfish Registry.

Prerequisites

Eclipse Galileo (Eclipse 3.5) build or later. The examples described here are based on Eclipse 3.5.

Setting up Swordfish Registry Target Platform

To setup the Swordfish Registry Target Platform do the following:

1. Create a new Target Platform definition. Click Window > Preferences > Plug-in Development > Target Platform
   
2. Click the "Add" button on the right sidebar and select Nothing: Start with an empty definition in the first page of the New Target Definition project wizard.
   
3. Type the name of the new Target Platform Definition and click the Add button in the "Locations" tab.
   
4. Select "Software Site" in the Add Content<b> window and click <b>Next
   
5. In the "Add software site" window expand the list item, Work with: and select the "Galileo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo" item. NOTE: You may need to wait for several seconds.
   
6. In the table below the dropdown list mentioned above expand the "EclipseRT Target Platform Components" category and mark the "Swordfish Registry" and "Swordfish Core" items. Click Finish.
   
7. After the previous step a Swordfish Target Plaftorm consisting of Swordfish Core and Swordfish Registry bundles will be uploaded. See the window below:
   
8. We are almost done. But the Swordfish Core and Registry bundles require some equinox core bundles like org.eclipse.osgi.services, org.eclipse.equinox.common, org.eclipse.equinox.http.servlet etc. The most easiest way to bind those to the current target platform is to take them from your current eclipse installation. To do this click Add on the right sidebar of the Target Definition Window. Then Pick "Installation" from the Add content window list.
   
9. Click on the "Variables" button and choose eclipse_home from the proposed list. Click on the Finish
   
10. Now your Target Platform definition should look like the image below. Push the Finish button.
    
11. Activate the "Swordfish Registry" target platform and save your changes.
