+
+
+System Requirements
+-------------------
+1. Sun JDK 5.0+ (J2SE 1.5)
+
+2. Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers (Ganymede or Europa), which is platform-specific
+
+3. Geronimo server (2.0.x or 2.1.x)
+
+
+
+Notes
+-----
+You will likely need to increase the default setting for maximum PermGen size
+for your Eclipse installation (especially for Sun's JDK 1.5.0_x on the Windows
+platform) to prevent "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen" errors. From the
+command line you can use:
+
+ eclipse -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
+
+Or you can edit your eclipse.ini file. An example is shown below but remember
+that each argument has to be on seperate lines:
+
+ -vmargs
+ -Xms128m
+ -Xmx512m
+ -XX:MaxPermSize=128m
+
+
+
+Geronimo Eclipse Plugin Version 2.1.2 Enhancements
+--------------------------------------------------
+1. Eclipse Ganymede support (along with continued Europa support)
+
+2. Java 1.6 runtime support (along wiht continued 1.5 runtime support)
+
+3. Numerous enhancements the Geronimo deployment plan editors
+
+4. "Download and Install" server feature replaced with a URL link to the Geronimo Server download page
+
+
+
+Installation Option #1: Install from within WTP
+-----------------------------------------------
+There a several installation alternatives, but the easiest method is not to
+download the plugin at all !! It can be installed directly from within WTP by
+clicking on the "Don't see your server listed?" link when defining a server
+runtime in WTP. Select it, then select Geronimo 2.1.2 and the installation
+process will begin. Once the workbench restarts Geronimo 2.1.2 support will be
+available.
+
+1 -- Invoke the eclipse executable from your /eclipse directory. Select or
+ accept the default workspace.
+
+2 -- Open the Preferences dialog:
+
+ a. Window --> Preferences --> Server --> Installed Runtimes --> Click
+ "Add"
+
+ b. Select "Download addtional server adapters
+
+ c. Select the "Geronimo v2.1 Server Adapter 2.1.2" adapter
+
+ d. Select Next --> Accept the license agreement --> Next --> Finish
+
+ e. It will then download and install the plugin artifacts (takes a few
+ seconds)
+
+ f. Select "Install All"
+
+ g. Select Yes to restart Eclipse
+
+3 -- Verify that the GEP was correctly installed:
+
+ a. Help --> About Eclipse Platform
+
+ b. Ensure that the Geronimo icon displays somewhere in the row of icons in the "About
+ Eclipse Platform" pane. If not, the GEP was not installed correctly.
+
+4 -- Define a new server. From Eclipse select:
+
+ a. File --> New --> Other --> Server --> Server --> Next --> Apache.
+ At this point you must see the Apache Geronimo v2.1 Server selection
+ or the plugin was not installed/unzipped correctly.
+
+ b. Select "Apache Geronimo v2.1 Server" --> Next --> then enter the root
+ directory of your Geronimo server installation --> Next --> Next -->
+ Next --> Finish
+
+ c. Now in the Java EE perspective you should see the Apache Geronimo v2.1
+ server (bottom pane, middle tab usually) that you can now start in
+ Eclipse (either right-click on it and select start or select the little
+ green and white arrow on the far right of the server pane). You should
+ then see the console and the familiar server startup messages.
+
+ d. Right-click on the server and select "Launch Geronimo Console" to bring
+ up an admin console browser window in Eclipse.
+
+
+
+Installation Option #2: Use Eclipse Update Site
+-----------------------------------------------
+Alternatively, you can download both the Eclipse Plugin from the Eclipse Update
+Site. Again if you've never done this before the steps are fairly straightforward:
+
+1 -- Invoke the eclipse executable from your /eclipse directory. Select or
+ accept the default workspace.
+
+2 -- Open the Eclipse Software Updates dialog:
+
+ a. Help --> Software Updates --> Available Software
+
+ b. On the "Available Software" tab you must add a new remote site to
+ point to the Staging site. Click "Add Site" button --> set URL to this:
+
+ http://apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/updates/
+
+ c. Expand this site and select the "Geronimo v2.1 Server Adapter" and click the
+ "Install" button. You may likely have to wait a few seconds while Eclipse
+ resolves the dependencies.
+
+ d. Select Next --> Accept the license agreement --> Finish
+
+ e. It will then download and install the plugin artifacts (takes a few
+ seconds)
+
+ f. Select Yes to restart Eclipse
+
+3 -- Verify that the GEP was correctly installed:
+
+ a. Help --> About Eclipse Platform
+
+ b. Ensure that the Geronimo icon displays somewhere in the row of icons in the "About
+ Eclipse Platform" pane. If not, the GEP was not installed correctly.
+
+4 -- Define a new server. From Eclipse select:
+
+ a. File --> New --> Other --> Server --> Server --> Next --> Apache.
+ At this point you must see the Apache Geronimo v2.1 Server selection
+ or the plugin was not installed/unzipped correctly.
+
+ b. Select "Apache Geronimo v2.1 Server" --> Next --> then enter the root
+ directory of your Geronimo server installation --> Next --> Next -->
+ Next --> Finish
+
+ c. Now in the Java EE perspective you should see the Apache Geronimo v2.1
+ server (bottom pane, middle tab usually) that you can now start in
+ Eclipse (either right-click on it and select start or select the little
+ green and white arrow on the far right of the server pane). You should
+ then see the console and the familiar server startup messages.
+
+ d. Right-click on the server and select "Launch Geronimo Console" to bring
+ up an admin console browser window in Eclipse.
+
+
+
+Installation Option #3: Install Plugin Manually
+-----------------------------------------------
+You can just download the plugin itself and unzip it into the same directory
+where the prereq was installed (e.g., /eclipse). If you choose this option
+you must have an installed version of the Geronimo 2.1 server somewhere on your
+system so that you can define a Geronimo Server configuration. If you've never
+done this before the steps are fairly straightforward:
+
+1 -- Download the GEP and unzip into your /eclipse directory. You can
+ download the plugin from here:
+
+ http://apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/2.1.2/
+
+2 -- Invoke the eclipse executable from your /eclipse directory. Select or
+ accept the default workspace.
+
+3 -- Verify that the GEP was correctly installed:
+
+ a. Help --> About Eclipse Platform
+
+ b. Ensure that the Geronimo icon displays somewhere in the row of icons in the "About
+ Eclipse Platform" pane. If not, the GEP was not installed correctly.
+
+4 -- Open the Java EE perspective. From within Eclipse:
+
+ a. Close the Welcome tab
+
+ b. Select Window --> Open Perspective --> Other --> Java EE
+ You should now be in the Java EE perspective. You can see the open
+ perspective tabs in the upper right-hand corner of your Eclipse
+ workspace.
+
+5 -- Define a new server. From Eclipse select:
+
+ a. File --> New --> Other --> Server --> Server --> Next --> Apache.
+ At this point you must see the Apache Geronimo v2.1 Server selection
+ or the plugin was not installed/unzipped correctly.
+
+ b. Select "Apache Geronimo v2.1 Server" --> Next --> then enter the root
+ directory of your Geronimo server installation --> Next --> Next -->
+ Next --> Finish
+
+ c. Now in the Java EE perspective you should see the Apache Geronimo v2.1
+ server (bottom pane, middle tab usually) that you can now start in
+ Eclipse (either right-click on it and select start or select the little
+ green and white arrow on the far right of the server pane). You should
+ then see the console and the familiar server startup messages.
+
+ d. Right-click on the server and select "Launch Geronimo Console" to bring
+ up an admin console browser window in Eclipse.
