1. Introducing The Oracle Solaris Studio 12.2 Release
8. Known Problems, Limitations, and Workarounds in This Release
The IDE's Plugins manager enables you to update your IDE's installed plugins dynamically. You can also use the Plugins manager to add new plugins and functionality to the IDE.
When you use the Plugins manager to update the IDE, the IDE checks the registered update centers to see if there are new plugins or new versions of already installed plugins available. If new or updated plugins are available, you can select, download, and install the plugins using the Plugins manager.
Alternatively, you can choose Help > Check For Updates to open the Plugin Installer. The Plugin Installer will check for updates of installed plugins. If updates are available, you can step through the installer to install the updates.
In addition to the default IDE Update Center, you can choose from several update centers that offer different types of plugins, such as experimental new plugins or old plugins that are no longer in regular distribution.
To update installed plugins from the Update Center:
Choose Tools > Plugins to open the Plugins manager.
Click the Updates tab to display available updates of installed plugins.
In the left pane, select the plugins you wish to update and click Update.
Complete the pages in the installer to download and install the update.
The left pane of the Updates tab displays the installed plugins that have updates available from the update centers. By default, the IDE regularly checks the registered update centers for available updates of installed plugins. If no plugins are displayed in the left pane, it means that no updates were available the last time the IDE checked the update center.
To add new plugins from the Update Center:
Choose Tools > Plugins to open the Plugins manager.
Click the Available Plugins tab to display plugins that are available but not installed.
In the left pane, select the plugins you wish to add and click Install.
Complete the pages in the installer to download and install the plugin.
Some plugins may require you to restart the IDE to complete the update process.
You can set the frequency that the IDE checks for updates in the Settings tab of the Plugins manager. You can click Reload Catalog to check the update centers immediately.
