Installing Caesar v0.5.3 binary release

Important! Please use Eclipse 3.0 or 3.0.1 [http://eclipse.org/downloads/index.php]. We didn't test it for other versions of Eclipse.

Installation from Eclipse Update Site

Download and install Eclipse 3.0.1 [http://eclipse.org/downloads/index.php] (not 3.1)
Start Eclipse, and from the Help menu choose "Find and Install...".
Select "Search for new features to install." and click on "Next >"
In the "Install" view that opens, click on "New Remote Site..." button.
In the dialog that appears enter a name, "CaesarJ Update Site", and the URL: http://caesarj.org/updatesite/0.5.3/
Click Finish.
Select the CaesarJ Update Site node that appears and click on "Next >".
Select the "org.caesarj.feature" node and click on "Next >".
Step through the installation dialog that appears to complete the installation.

Note: If you are behind a proxy server, use the install/update preferences page (under Help-> Preferences) to configure your proxy settings.

If update site doesn't work for you, the plugins can be installed by hand.

Open in your browser http://caesarj.org/updatesite/0.5.3/
Download the files
- features/org.caesarj.feature_0.5.3.jar
- plugins/org.caesarj.plugin_0.5.3.jar
Go to your Eclipse directory.
Create the following folders
- features/org.caesarj.feature_0.5.3/
- plugins/org.caesarj_0.5.3/
Unzip the content of jar files into the created directories

After installing the Caesar plug-in, please

make the Caesar editor your default editor for the .java file extension (under Preferences-> Workbench ->File Associations)
disable "Analyze annotations while typing" under Preferences->Java->Editor->Annotations.

These options are available also in CaesarJ Prefences Dialog which can be activated from the toolbar.

For larger projects it is recommended to switch off automated build (under Preferences-> Workbench) and build manually using Ctrl+B shortcut.

Try our examples to test your installation.
