Update Site

Eclipse can be configured to automatically download the Collaborator plug-in, and even to check periodically for updates. If you already know how to do this, all you will need to know is that our Eclipse update site is located here:

http://eclipse.smartbear.com/13.0

Otherwise, read on for step-by-step installation instructions.

Installation Instructions

Here are detailed instructions for how to install our plug-in in Eclipse:

  1. Open Eclipse IDE.

  2. Select Help > Install New Software from the main menu.

  3. Type "http://eclipse.smartbear.com/13.0" in the Work with field and select Enter. Then check Collaborator and click Next.

  4. Click Next to finish the Install Details page.

  5. Check I accept the terms of the license agreement and click Finish to start the install.

  6. A progress dialog appears as Eclipse installs the plug-ins.

  7. Click Install anyway to close the Security Warning popup about unsigned plug-ins.

  8. Click Yes in the Software Updates popup to restart Eclipse.

Uninstallation Instructions

    <user_home>/.p2/pool/plugins
