Installation Instructions

The ArgoEclipse plugin requires Eclipse 3.2. Later versions should work as well, but haven't been tested. You can download Eclipse kits here.

1. In the Eclipse menu go to Help → Software Updates → Find and Install
2. When Install/Update dialog opens choose Search for new features to install and click Next
3. In the Install dialog click on New remote site and add a site with the following attributes:

   	Name: ArgoEclipse
   	URL: http://argoeclipse.tigris.org/update_site
   

4. From here it's simple to follow the instructions from the wizard

Getting Started

The ArgoEclipse plugin is based on ArgoUML version 0.22, so the ArgoUML manual is a good place to start.

If you are familiar with ArgoUML, the ArgoEclipse perspective (Window→Open Perspective→Other... then select ArgoEclipse) mirrors the layout of the standalone ArgoUML application. Opening a file with the .zargo extension or creating a new ArgoUML file (File→New→Other... then selecting ArgoUML file) will open the ArgoUML diagram editor.

Additional information can be found here: http://argoeclipse.tigris.org/faqs/users.html or informations about how to check out the source code: http://argoeclipse.tigris.org/documentation/dev-notes.html.

Uninstall Instructions

1. In the Eclipse menu go to Help → Software Updates → Manage Configuration
2. Select the feature you want to uninstall
3. From the contextual menu (that shows up when you right click on an item) select uninstall

Alternative instalation

You can download the plugin in the form of JARs, not installing with the update_site. (Maybe you don't have an Internet connection on another machine where you want to install the plugin.)

Attention: The plugin requires Eclipse 3.2 or later.

Here are the steps involved:

1. Go to the Documents and files link from the left menu. Or if you want to jump there click here.
2. Go to argoeclipse → Kits → Plugins → Choose a version
3. Download the JAR files from the folder you chose.
4. Move these files to Eclipse → Plugins, where Eclipse is your Eclipse instalation directory

You can uninstall the plugin by erasing the files you downloaded.
