Installing IBM MQ Explorer into Eclipse environments
You can install IBM® 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
If you are using a version of Windows with User Account Control (UAC) enabled
and your Eclipse-based product
is installed into a directory under UAC such as C:\Program Files, then you must
run the Eclipse-based product with elevated authority (Run as Administrator)
before you install the IBM MQ Explorer feature into it. When
installed, the product can then be run without elevated authority.
For information about the Eclipse level that IBM MQ Explorer is built on, see What's new and what's changed in IBM MQ Explorer.
For information about the environments in which IBM MQ Explorer plug-ins are supported, see the Development tools section of the Supported Software tab of the IBM MQ Detailed System Requirements report.
To use the full set of CipherSuites, and to operate with certified FIPS 140-2 or Suite-B compliance, a suitable Java runtime environment (JRE) is required. IBM Java 7 Service Refresh 4, Fix Pack 2 or a higher level of the IBM JRE provides the appropriate support. For more information, see the Java section of the Supported Software tab of the IBM MQ Detailed System Requirements report.
About this task
Procedure
To install IBM MQ Explorer into a compatible Eclipse-based environment:
What to do next
For local queue managers, this procedure is sufficient if IBM 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 64-bit application to match the 64-bit local queue managers.
