When you install the Studio plugin, you also need to install the svn and oXygen plugins. Instructions for installing all three items follow:

  1. These instructions were tested against MyEclipse 2013, which can be downloaded from http://downloads.myeclipseide.com/downloads/products/eworkbench/2013/installers/myeclipse-pro-2013-SR2-online-installer-windows.exe.  We selected “No Add-ons” in the installation options.
  2. Install subclipse v1.6 into MyEclipse (using the Help/Install from site option).  Source: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x 
  3. Install oxygen 14.1 into MyEclipse:
    1. Download and open the oXygen Plugin archive, com.oxygenxml.nexaweb.editor_14.1.0-nexaweb.zip
    2. Under the root installation directory for MyEclipse, create a directory called “ThirdParty”
    3. Under the newly created ThirdParty directory, create an “oXygen14.1” directory
    4. Extract the “Eclipse” folder from com.oxygenxml.nexaweb.editor_14.1.0-nexaweb.zip into the oxygen14.1 directory 
    5. Create a text file called “oXygen14.1.link” in the dropins directory under the MyEclipse root installation directory.  The contents of this text file should be one line: path=ThirdParty/oXygen14.1 (alternatively, you can save this file in the dropins directory, so long as you haven't changed anything described in steps 3b-3d)
    6. Restart MyEclipse.
    7. If Oxygen was installed successful, you should see “oXygen” listed when you click on Windows/Preferences in MyEclipse
  4. Install Nexaweb Studio 6.0 into MyEclipse by doing the following:
    1. Download the Studio .zip file, storing it somewhere accessible from your machine
    2. Select Help/Install from site from the MyEclipse menu
    3. Click “Add”
    4. Click “Archive”
    5. Find and select the zip file downloaded in step 4a.  Click “Open”
    6. Click OK and then follow the prompts including restarting Eclipse when prompted
    7. If Studio is installed correctly, there should be a “Nexaweb Documentation” option under the Help menu, as well as a Nexaweb option under File/New/Other.
