Chapter 6. Installing Designer as Eclipse plugin

Eclipse allows you to install CloverETL Designer plugin directly into it. All required plugins will be installed during the installation of the CloverETL Designer plugin. You do not need to install them separately, you only need to download and install CloverETL Designer.

Installing the CloverETL Designer plugin into Eclipse release is considered installing new software. The HelpInstall New Software... wizard displays the list of software sites and items available for installation.
