Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse Installation Guide

This document provides information on installing Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE). It contains the following sections:

Installing Your OEPE Application

You can install OEPE the following ways:

System Requirements

The following system requirements apply for this release:


Note:

WebLogic Server defaults to a large heap, which may be inappropriate for development. Changing the server start script can easily remedy the server memory usage.

For more information about system requirements and components supported by OEPE, see the OEPE page on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/eclipse/overview/index.html.

Using the Oracle Installer

OEPE 12.1.2.1 with Oracle WebLogic Server 12c Release 1 (12.1.2): This installer can be used to install Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) 12.1.2.1, Oracle WebLogic Server 12c (12.1.2), and Coherence 12.1.2, and Oracle ADF 12.1.2 on your system.

About the Installer

Oracle Installer is available in the form of three platform-specific installers that include Sun Java JDK 6.0 Update 29 and Oracle JRockit Update 20 SDK. You need not have the JDK pre-installed on your system to use these platform installers:


Note:

Throughout this document, <timestamp> refers to an internally used number in the installer name. For example, the Windows installer could be named: oepe-kepler-installer-12.1.2.1.201207241647-12.1.2-win32.exe

You can download Oracle Installer from the Oracle Technology Network (OTN) web site: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/eclipse/downloads/index.html.

For more information about installing Oracle ADF, see the Developing Web User Interfaces with Oracle ADF Faces.

For more information about using the Oracle WebLogic Server, see the Introduction to Oracle WebLogic Server.

For more information about Oracle Coherence, see the Oracle Coherence Documentation Library, available on OTN.

Launching the Installer

Depending on the type of installer you are using, you can begin the installation process in one of the following ways:

Installer Dialog Pages

The installer dialog provides several pages where you specify various parameters for the installation:

  1. Welcome

    Click Next to begin the installation process.

  2. Installation Location

    You can create a new Oracle Home directory, or select one from a list of existing Oracle Home directories. If you choose an existing Oracle Home directory, you can click View to display the Feature Sets currently installed in this directory. If you choose a directory that already has OEPE and Oracle WebLogic Server components installed on it, you are taken directly to the Installation Summary page.

    If you choose to create a new Oracle Home directory, click Browse to select the Oracle Home installation directory

    Click Next to review the Installation Summary.


    Notes:

    • If you choose to use an existing Oracle Home directory for the installation, you must select one that was created for this release of Oracle Fusion Middleware. The installer will reject the home directory if it contains installed components from a previous release.

    • For the remainder of this document, ORACLE_HOME has been used to represent the Oracle Home directory that you have chosen. For example, if you selected C:\Oracle\ as your Oracle Home directory, then ORACLE_HOME would refer to C:\Oracle\.

  3. Installation Summary

    The Installation Summary page displays the Installation Location for Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse, the Disk Space required for the installation, and the Feature Set to install. To change the installation location, click Back.

    To proceed with the installation, click Install.

  4. Installation Progress

    Displays the progress of the installation.

  5. Installation status

    Displays the progress of the installation.

  6. Installation Complete

    To view information about which products and components were installed, review the Installation Complete page. Here you can also see the installation Log File Location to view more detailed information about the installation process.

    Click Done to end the installation process.


    Note:

    Should the installation process be interrupted prior to completion, the result is likely an incomplete and non-functional partial installation. If this occurs, the recommended approach is to attempt to uninstall the previous installation. If that is successful, you can re-install normally, otherwise you should re-install into a new Oracle Home.
