Curl CDE Installation Notes

This is the installation notes for the Curl Development Tools for Eclipse (CDE), part of the Curl RTE/IDE 7.0.3 Release

If you need to install Eclipse first, please follow the instructions provided below:

Install Eclipse 3.3.x or 3.4.x

We have tested the CDE plugin only with Java 1.6.

The Curl RTE, IDE and CDE can be installed from an Eclipse update site. In Eclipse, you create a new update site, using the following URLs:

  • Windows - http://www.curl.com/com.curl.eclipse.cde.update-site.windows-en
  • Linux - http://www.curl.com/com.curl.eclipse.cde.update-site.linux-en
You need to have the 'Classic Update' option enabled in Eclipse in order to install the CDE. To enable 'Classic Updates', in Eclipse, you go to "Window / Preferences / General / Capabilities" and check the box for "Classic Update".

If you do not see Capabilities in your Preferences, that is because you have installed a version of Eclipse 3.4 other than the "SDK" version. In that case, you can follow the directions given in the Curl Developers Center Discussion.

With Classic Updates enabled, in Eclipse,

  • choose "Help / Software Updates / Find and Install..."
  • Select "Search for new features" and click Next.
  • Click New Remote Site, provide a name for this remote site and the appropriate URL listed above for your operating system.
  • Click OK.
  • Click Finish
  • In the Updates dialog, check the box next to new Update Site you just created and click Next.
  • Select "I accept the terms" and click Next.
  • Click Finish
  • Click Install
  • You'll see an Install/Update dialog that prompts you to restart the Eclipse. Click Yes to restart Eclipse.

The Curl plugin is now installed!

Choose "Window / Open Perspective / Other..."; select Curl and click OK to open the Curl perspective.
