Overview

The Eclipse plugin is still experimental and is not yet delivered as part of the Cactus 1.5 framework (it can be downloaded from the Nightly build area). It will be delivered in a subsequent release of Cactus as we don't consider it to be stable yet. However, we encourage you to provide us with as much feedback as possible so that it can be become stable and be included in a release.

The integration of Cactus in the Eclipse platform relies on 2 separate plug-ins :

  • The Cactus runner plug-in
  • The Webapp Eclipse plug-in
  • Features at a glance

    • Shortcut for launching Cactus tests
      Cactus launch shortcut
    • Project property page for setting up the web application.

    Installation

    Requirements

    A version of the Eclipse platform later than 2.1 RC2 is needed.

    Installation

    Connect to the Cactus update site (available soon) from Eclipse to install both plug-ins at once as an Eclipse feature.

    Configuration

    The plug-ins are functional 'off the shelf'. Refer to the corresponding plug-in section for specific configuration.
