Eclipse update site

Introduction

This update site is only intended for the Restlet edition for OSGi environments. It allows the retrieval of Restlet modules and their dependencies as plain bundles (including their dependencies) directly from the Eclipse IDE. They are gathered by type of module: Core module, support of standards, pluggable connectors and integrations with third-party libraries. It is only available from the 2.1 release and beyond.

The URL of the update site is based on the following pattern http://p2.restlet.org/<minor_version>. It provides all tagged releases (such as current snapshot, or milestones, releases candidates, etc). It is automatically refreshed once a day if the build succeeds.

Installation steps

Here are some instructions about how to configure your Eclipse IDE to work with the online update site.

Just go to the “help/Install New Software” menu. Enter the URL of the desired repository in the upper field:

After a few moments of calculation (required dependencies among others calculation), you will be warned that you are on the way to install unsigned content. Just stick to your choice and click the “OK” button:

Valid the warning message: the content is unsigned.

The installation process goes on, and after a few moment you will be asked to restart your Eclipse instance in order to finalize the installation.
