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.
- In the Eclipse menu go to Help → Software
Updates → Find and Install
- When Install/Update dialog opens choose Search for new
features to install and click Next
- 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
- 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.
