  1. Hi Thys,
    what do you think about the Eclipse plug-in for firmware 3.8.2?

    do you think that it works fine?

    I’m evaluating use the plug-in, but in the past I have several problems with this (over firmware version 3.7.2).

    Thanks,
    Marcos

    Hi Marcos,
    I recommend downloading the latest Resource Pack from Fixcentral for your specific firmware level (3.8.2) and appliance (XS40, XI50, XB60,XM70):
    http://www-933.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/
    (Search for “Resource Pack”)
    I have tested the plugin with 3.8.2 on XI50 and XB60 and it works fine. Let me know if you have any issues.

    Hi Lo,

    Follow these steps: https://thysmichels.com/2010/06/05/installing-the-eclipse-management-plugin-for-the-datapower-appliance/

    The latest plugin is available from IBM fixcentral download the V4 supporting docs and inside is the plugin as a folder. I see fix central is down at the moment.

    Let me know if you need more assistance.

    Kind Regards, Thys Michels
