CA Endevor Quick Edit Eclipse-Based UI › Install the Eclipse-Based UI on a Client Computer

Install the Eclipse-Based UI on a Client Computer

The Web Services installation process automatically installs the Eclipse-Based UI update site on your Tomcat server in the folder /Eclipse-BasedUI. This procedure installs the Eclipse-Based UI on your client computer from the update site.

Note: If you prefer not to install directly from your Tomcat server, you can download a compressed update site from <protocol>//<servername>:<portnumber>/Eclipse-BasedUI/bin. This bin file contains the Eclipse-Based UI update site. After downloading the file, you can use the Eclipse Update Manager to define the local/archive update site repository.

The Eclipse-Based UI is installed on client computers using the Eclipse Update Manager, a feature provided by Eclipse. The Eclipse Update Manager is a built-in plug-in installation and update manager that simplifies the installation process and lets you manage various plug-in instances.

Note: For details on managing your configuration, see the Eclipse help.
