Albireo Installation

Installation for plug-in Developers

Download and unzip the latest plug-in developer distribution from the Albireo download page. You then have three options

Option 1: Import Albireo plug-ins as projects in your current workspace.
- Click File->Import...
- Select Plug-in Development -> Plug-ins and Fragments
- Change the Plug-in Location from the default to the directory Albireo was unzipped to.
- (Optional, if you want source) Under Import As, select Projects with source folders
- Click Next and add the albireo core and examples projects
- Note If Eclipse reports compilation errors after the import, change the JDK compliance settings for each imported project to at least 1.4 (Right click on project, select Properties, select Java Compiler).
Option 2: Add Albireo plug-ins to your PDE target definition. See Eclipse help for more information.
Option 3: Install the Albireo plug-ins in your Eclipse IDE.
- Eclipse 3.4 (M6 or later): copy the Albireo plug-ins and features into the p2 dropins directory. Restart Eclipse.
- Previous versions: copy the Albireo plug-ins into your eclipse/plugins directory and the Albireo features into your eclipse/features directory. Restart Eclipse. If you prefer, you can use a .link file or extension location

These instructions assume that your Eclipse workspace has been configured for developing standalone SWT applicationsalready.
