Installation
The Eclipse Web Tools Platform (WTP) has support for only a limited number of deployment targets by default. To enable the
use of IBM WebSphere with JVM COBOL Web services, you need to install a plug-in, which is available via the Eclipse Marketplace.
To install the plug-in:
- Launch an instance of Eclipse.
- Click
Help > Eclipse Marketplace.
- In the
Find field, type
IBM WebSphere Application Server and press
Enter.
- Click
Install next to the adapter called
IBM WebSphere Application Server v8.5 Developer Tools for Oxygen.
- On the Confirm Selected Features page, click
Confirm.
- On the Review Licenses page, accept the license agreement, then click
Finish.
The WebSphere Developer Tools are installed for Eclipse.
- Click
Yes when prompted to restart Eclipse, to finish the installation.
You now have the ability to create a dynamic web project, which links to an IBM WebSphere server instance.
Note: This is not a full installation of IBM WebSphere; it simply allows you to enable WebSphere with JVM COBOL Web services. The
full installation of IBM WebSphere is beyond the scope of this tutorial.
