This document describes how to install version 3.2 of the BEA Workshop Studio group of products, including:
These installation instructions work for all of the BEA Workshop Studio products:
These instructions are for all of the Workshop Studio products, including free trials, free downloads, and purchased products. The screen shots are for the BEA Workshop Studio purchased product, but are similar for all products in the group.
Before you begin, you must have the Sun JDK/JRE (version 1.4.2 or higher for Windows, version 1.5 or higher for Linux) installed. For more information, go to the Sun web site.
When you purchase a Workshop Studio product, you receive a free subscription to all product updates for one year from the date of purchase. After the end of your subscription, you cannot install new versions of your Workshop Studio product, unless you purchase a subscription extension at http://www.bea.com/buyworkshop.
To install a BEA Workshop Studio product, do the following steps.
tar xvf StudioTarFileName.tar -C <temp-directory-path>
export PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0/bin:$PATH
Alternatively, the JDK path can be passed to the installer using the LAX_VM argument.
If you wish to install a Workshop Studio product as a plugin to an existing installation of Eclipse,
Workshop Studio products require Web Tools Platform (WTP) and if you do not have WTP installed (or if your installed version of WTP is not supported), the installation procedure will install the supported version of WTP.
You will be prompted with an additional screen to specify the location of the existing Eclipse installation files. Once you have chosen the Eclipse installation folder, click Next to continue.
Because the 3.2 version uses Eclipse 3.2 (rather than Eclipse 3.1.2 as previously), you cannot use the Eclipse Update feature to upgrade. Use the installer to install this version.
All BEA Workshop Studio products (except free trials) require license activation. Activating your license activates your subscription to product updates from BEA.
When you install any BEA Workshop Studio product, it will operate for 30 days without a license. After that time, you must provide a license. For BEA Workshop for JSP, a free license is available at https://dev2devclub.bea.com/getFreeJsp.do. For purchased products, a license is provided by email on completion of your purchase.
When your subscription expires, you may renew it at http://www.bea.com/buyworkshop. You will receive an email confirming the renewal. After your renewal, you must activate the product again, using the original Order ID and Serial Number.
To activate your license choose Help > Workshop License. You may also activate your license from the Welcome screen that is displayed when you first launch the IDE. Enter the Order ID and Serial Number and click Activate to proceed.
If you want to install a purchased BEA Workshop Studio product on a DIFFERENT machine, you must first deactivate the license on the current machine. Purchased BEA licenses can be used on only one machine at a time.
To uninstall BEA Workshop Studio products:
The uninstaller removes everything that was installed: If the original installation was as a plugin, only the plugin will be removed. If the original installation was as a complete Eclipse installation, then Eclipse and WTP will also be removed.
If you installed the Spring IDE with your Workshop Studio installation, that will automatically be removed as well.
If you have installed a free trial version of Workshop Studio, you can upgrade to a full product and subscription:
If you experience problems getting the installation to work, review the following points:
The Workshop Studio installer requires JDK/JRE 1.4+ to be installed and running properly on the system. In case you have both JDK 1.3 & 1.4 on the system, make sure the 1.4 entry appears before 1.3 on the system PATH variable
On Windows:Using "console" to run the Workshop installer
- set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.4.2_05\bin;%PATH%
- run WorkshopInstaller.exe
Using system PATH variable
- My Computer > Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables > Path - edit and prefix C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.4.2_05\bin at the beginning
- double click on WorkshopInstaller.exe
On Linux:Using LAX_VM argument
- inside Workshop installer folder run
./WorkshopInstaller.bin LAX_VM /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_03/bin/java
