Installing Java CAPS Components Using the NetBeans IDE Update Center

This procedure installs Java CAPS Java EE components using the NetBeans IDE Update Center. These JBI-based Java CAPS components do not require a Repository.

Note - Certain adapters require additional installation procedures. For details, see Installing Third-Party JAR Files.

To Install Java CAPS Components Using the NetBeans IDE Update Center

Before You Begin

This task assumes that you have installed the NetBeans IDE and a Java CAPS Repository.

1. To start Repository and NetBeans IDE, navigate to the base directory where you installed Java CAPS and start the appropriate executable files.
2. From the NetBeans IDE menu bar choose Tools and then Plugins.
3. On the Plugins page, choose the Settings tab.
4. From the Configuration of Update Centers pane, select the type of components you want to install, for example, NetBeans, Plugin Portal, and 3rd Party Plugins.
   1. Choose the Available Plugins tab.
   2. Right-click any of the entries, and select Check All or individually select the components to install.

      Note - You do not need to select the CAPS Repository Update Center at this time as all these components were installed during the Java CAPS installation, as was the third party product Eviware.

5. To begin the installation, click Install.
6. When the NetBeans IDE Installer appears, click Next, accept the license, and click Install.

   This page lists the Java CAPS 6 plugins you are installing.

   Note - Ignore any validation or unsigned warnings and continue with the installation.

7. When the installation completes, click Finish.
8. (Optional) If an additional wizard appears before NetBeans IDE refreshes, follow the onscreen steps to install the plugin.
9. Connect to the Repository and log on to the Java CAPS Uploader.

   The Repository is required for non-JBI based projects created for releases 5.0.5 through 5.1.3. See Installing Java CAPS Components Using the Java CAPS Uploader for details.
