Installing into Eclipse environments
Install WebSphere® MQ Explorer into your own Eclipse environment or Eclipse-based product to help with developing Java™ applications or to develop your own extensions.
Before you begin
Note: If you have placed the IBM WebSphere MQ Explorer plugins in another
Eclipse environment, in order to use CipherSpecs TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256
and TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256 when in FIPS mode, you must have
IBM JREs 6.0 SR13 FP2, 7.0 SR4 FP2 or later.
About this task
Procedure
To install into a compatible Eclipse-based environment:
What to do next
Local queue managers
This procedure is sufficient if IBM WebSphere MQ Explorer is being used to administer remote queue managers. If there are local queue managers to administer, you must run the Eclipse-based product with the required environment settings for your operating system. In addition, the Eclipse-based product must be a 32 bit application on Windows and Linux® x86 platforms, and it must be a 64 bit application on Linux x86_64 platforms.
On Windows:
Set the PATH environment variable to include the bin and java/lib directories of your IBM WebSphere MQ installation
before running the Eclipse-based product. You can use the setmqenv command with the '-x 32' option
to do this because IBM WebSphere MQ Explorer is a 32 bit application on all Windows platforms. For example, if IBM WebSphere MQ is installed in directory C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ, enter the following
command:
C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere MQ\bin\setmqenv -s -x 32
On Linux x86:
Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the java/lib and lib directories of your IBM WebSphere MQ installation
before running the Eclipse-based product. For example, if IBM WebSphere MQ is installed
in /opt/mqm:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mqm/java/lib:/opt/mqm/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
On Linux x86_64:
Set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to include the java/lib64 and lib64 directories
of your IBM WebSphere MQ installation
before running the Eclipse-based product. For example, if IBM WebSphere MQ is installed
in /opt/mqm:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/mqm/java/lib64:/opt/mqm/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
