Installing and Configuring the DataFlow Plugin to Eclipse IDE
Overview of Eclipse and the Eclipse Plug-in
Eclipse is a popular Integrated Development Environment (IDE) for developing software in a variety of languages including Java and JavaScript. It is available for free online at
http://www.eclipse.org.
The DataFlow distribution includes an Eclipse plug-in that provides:
• Support for projects using RushScript, the JavaScript-based DataFlow scripting language
• Monitoring of DataFlow clusters
• Monitoring of DataFlow applications, both in RushScript and Java
Additionally an optional Eclipse plug-in is available that provides support for Hadoop or HBase.
This section discusses only the process of installation for the plug-in. For detailed information about using the plug-in, see
