Contents. Overview Eclipse startup is controlled by the options in $ECLIPSEHOME/eclipse.ini. If $ECLIPSEHOME is not defined, the default eclipse.ini in your Eclipse installation directory (or in the case of Mac, the Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS directory) is used.
Eclipse Kepler, the 2013 Eclipse release, is here! This year there are 71 projects, simultaneously shipping 58 million lines of code. In Eclipse Kepler, BIRT has added support for NoSQL datasources such as MongoDB and Apache Cassandra. With this new feature you can discover fields in a NoSQL.
Eclipse.ini is a text file containing command-line options that are added to the command line used when Eclipse is started up. There are many options available, please see. Important:. You can, and should, experiment with changes to the launch command from your Command Prompt/Terminal before changing the eclipse.ini itself. Each option and each argument to an option must be on its own line. All lines after -vmargs are passed as arguments to the JVM, so all arguments and options for eclipse must be specified before -vmargs (just like when you use arguments on the command-line). Any use of -vmargs on the command-line replaces all -vmargs settings in the.ini file unless -launcher.appendVmargs is specified either in the.ini file or on the command-line.XX VM arguments are subject to change without notice, even during minor updates.
If the JVM keeps exiting with code 2 instead of starting Eclipse, try removing them. Make a backup-keep a copy of the original contents on hand so you don't break your installation and have to download it all again.
This tutorial is a step-by-step guide to install the new ABAP Development Tools (ADT) on Eclipse™ ( Kepler version) on an Apple® computer running the Mac OS® X Lion operating system. Introduction Users of personal computers running one of the latest versions of Microsoft® Windows® operating system may also benefit from the information presented on this tutorial. This document is divided into twelve sections. The second one shows the prerequisites for the installation of the new ABAP Development Tools. The third section presents a way of verifying the SAP BASIS and Kernel release versions.
Directions to downloading the SAP GUI Java and the Eclipse Standard 4.3.1 are presented on the fourth and fifth sections, respectively. The sixth section details the installation steps of the ABAP Development Tools. The seventh section describes a first test on the ADT installation.
The eighth section presents the steps to connect the ADT to the SAP back-end system, thus solving the problem that occurs on the first test on section 7. A second and final test of the ADT installation is performed on the ninth section. The tenth section presents the conclusion of this document. Finally, the eleventh section shows the disclaimer and the trademark notices of this document are presented on the twelfth and last section. Prerequisites Important: during the installation of the ABAP Development Tools (section 6), you’ll need to keep your computer connected to the Internet. Also, having administrative rights on your computer won’t hurt either. ABAP Development Tools minimum requirements:.

To verify your SAP Basis version, navigate in the menu to System Status. The System: Status window opens.
On this window, click on the Component Information button. The System: Component information window opens. Under the Software Component column, look up for SAPBASIS (should be in the first line). Its Release (second column) must be at least 731 and its Level ( Service Pack, third column) must be at least 0004. After verifying the SAP BASIS release, close the System: Component information window and hit the Other Kernel Info button, on the System: Status window. The System: Kernel information window opens. Under the Kernel Information title, the Kernel release must be at least 720.
Now, let’s proceed with the download of the SAP GUI Java (section 4) and the Eclipse Standard 4.3.1 (section 5). Downloading the SAP GUI Java To download the SAP GUI Java, follow. Click on the link, then click on the “” link, select the radio button for the SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP 7.03 SAP GUI for Java and agree with the License Agreement. Downloading Eclipse Standard 4.3.1 (Kepler, 64 Bit) Remember to choose the appropriate Eclipse version for your Mac system (32 or 64 Bit).
The version downloaded during the making of this tutorial was the “ Eclipse Standard 4.3.1, 196 MB” ( Kepler, 64 Bit). Get it at the. Optional step: perform a checksum on the downloaded file (MD5 or SHA1 are available for this verification). Unpack the files and move the resulting folder into the Applications folder on your Mac OS X operating system.
The path to this folder is: MyMacintoshHD/Applications The Eclipse installation process is painless. Just follow its instructions and you’re going to be fine. Be aware of a little glitch, though: after Eclipse warned it was going to shut down and reopen, as part of the installation process, it reopened and the beach ball of death kept spinning. If this happens, just forcing quit. Eclipse and then reopening it solves the problem. To Force Quit an application, click on the Apple Menu (the Apple logo at the upper left corner of the screen) and navigate: Apple Menu Force Quit After the Force Quit Applications window opens, select the application from the list and click on the Force Quit button. In the next section, we are going to install the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) on Eclipse.
Installing the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) This section is based on the installation instructions described on this. Important: please, review the ADT requirements, on section 2. Note that the steps below are slightly different from the steps stated in the document above.
To install the front-end component of ADT:. Get and install Eclipse ( Kepler version, or later) – see section 5 above. In Eclipse, choose in the menu bar Help Install New Software.
