Install/Configuration

Install plugin via custom installer

For first time install, we suggest you download whole update site include XULRunner plugins:

• Windows 32 bit
• Linux 32 bit
• Mac OS X 32 bit
• (These files are stored in different web site)

Once you unpack the zip file, you can install plugin via update site. For other reason, we recommend execute a simple installer which could copy/unpack these plugin files to Eclipse dropin folder.

Just execute:

java -jar install.jar $ECLIPSE_HOME_PATH

If $ECLIPSE_HOME_PATH is not specified, a GUI will be launched. Just select source/install folder and click Install button.

Note: the source code of installer could be found in install.jar. If you have security issue, please read it and complied by yourself.

After Mozilla plugin installed, you can download the latest plugin file and copy it to dropins folder once new version released.

If you want to uninstall the plugin, just remove the copied file/folders.
