Cape Clear Studio 7.0.1 Installation (for Headless Build Servers on Linux)

Linux installations of Cape Clear Studio can be used to run automated (headless, non-GUI) builds of Cape Clear projects via Ant scripts. Ant scripts can be used to automatically launch Cape Clear Studio workbenches, import projects, build projects, validate projects and export deployable Web Service and Web Service client artifacts.

Note: Linux is not currently supported as a platform for interactive IDE-based Web Service development. Developers should use Cape Clear Studio on Windows to produce Cape Clear Web Services.

A Linux installation of Cape Clear Studio is created by assembling several standard Eclipse.org and CapeClear archives into a common location. There are four Linux distributions of the Eclipse SDK, each of which can be combined with the cross-platform Cape Clear Studio features and the cross-platform Eclipse features that Cape Clear Studio requires.

This installation process provides links to the features so that the desired platform-specific Linux distribution can be combined with the the cross-platform features.

1. Choose the Eclipse Platform v3.2.2 distributions that matches your Linux runtime environment and extract all the files from the archive to a chosen installation location:

• Linux x86/GTK 2 (.tar.gz, 119MB)
• Linux x86_64/GTK 2 (.tar.gz, 119MB)
• Linux PPC/GTK 2 (.tar.gz, 118MB)
• Linux x86/Motif (.tar.gz, 120MB)

2. Unzip all of these required cross-platform features to the same location:

• Eclipse Modelling Framework v2.2.2 (.zip, 21MB)
• Graphical Editing Framework v3.2.2 (.zip, 6MB)
• Java EMF Model v1.2.3 (.zip, 3MB)
• Web Tools Platform v1.5.3 (.zip, 50MB)
• HibernateTools v3.2.0beta9a (.zip, 26MB)

3. Unzip these Cape Clear features to the same location:

• Cape Clear Studio (.zip, 59MB)
• Buckminister Headless Plugins (.zip, 1MB)

4. Edit the eclipse.ini file located in the chosen installation location adding these lines if your are using Java 1.5:

-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

and these lines if you are using Java 1.4:

-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Djava.endorsed.dirs=endorsed/
