You can install Workshop in two ways: You can (1) add it to an existing Eclipse installation or (2) use the Eclipse installation bundled with the installer.
To add Workshop to an existing Eclipse installation, follow these instructions:
In the installer dialog, on the Chose Installer Type screen, select Custom.
On the Install Eclipse Location Options, select Use Existing Eclipse and browse to an existing Eclipse home directory.
Requirements for the Existing Eclipse Installation
The existing Eclipse installation must meet the following requirements:
- Eclipse 3.2.2
- WTP 1.5.4
Launching Workshop When Installed as a Plugin
If Workshop is added to an existing Eclipse installation, you may choose to launch using the existing eclipse launcher (eclipse.exe) instead of the custom launcher provided with the Workshop installation. If you choose to launch Workshop using the existing eclipse launcher, you may need to modify the eclipse.ini file.
The required and optional additions to eclipse.ini are shown below:
Required
-vm (a Java 5 VM is required)
-vmargs
-Xms384m (or greater)
-Xmx768m (or greater)
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m (or greater)
Optional
-Dweblogic.home (for pointing at the default WlS runtime)
-Dosgi.instance.area.default (default workspace)
