Using PMF Server to Eclipse

Overview

The PMF can be integrated into the Eclipse IDE. This can help in creating a unified development experience.

Adding the server to Eclipse

1. From the Servers view in Eclipse, select New → Server.
2. If an IBM folder option does not exist, click on “Download additional server adapters”.
3. Select WebSphere Application Server Liberty Tools and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. From the Servers view in Eclipse, select New → Server.
5. Select IBM → WebSphere Application Server Liberty.
6. Provide a server name and hostname and click Next.
7. Provide the path to the server’s root directory, and select a JRE version to use. When using the PMF Developer Kit, the root directory is [installation directory]/mfp-server folder.
8. Click Next followed by clicking Finish.

You can now start and stop the PMF from the Eclipse IDE “servers” view.
