Install Java & Eclipse (on Windows)

Install Java

To develop with Java you need to install the Java JDK first. This can be downloaded at: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html

If you have Windows 64 bit, you should install the 64 bit version (x64), otherwise install the 32 bit version (x86).

After installation (be careful to uncheck the installation of any stupid toolbars) you should add the java bin directory to your path and create the JAVA_HOME environment variable which should point to the installation directory of the JDK.

Install Eclipse

Now you can install Eclipse. Download it from here http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

You must install the same architecture as the Java version you installed. So if you installed the 64bit version of Java, you should use the 64bit version of Eclipse. The version on which Eclipse SCADA is based is Kepler/4.3. The current version is 4.3.2, so you should download that one (the classic version). There is no installer, so just unzip it to some directory where you want to have it.

There is a nice screencast which explains all the necessary steps in depth.

Install WIX

The runtime plus configuration of Eclipse SCADA is deployed on Windows as an MSI file. The configurator needs the WIX Toolset to create those files, therefor you have to install it. The downloads can be found here: http://wixtoolset.org/releases/

The installer creates all necessary environment variables, so there is no additional work to do.

Install the Eclipse SCADA IDE tooling

Next step is to install the necessary plugins which contain the actual Eclipse SCADA components. For this go to "Help > Install New Software". In the text box "Work with" just enter following URL: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipsescada/updates/nightly/0.1.0/ Then select the "Eclipse SCADA IDE" category and click on "Next". The next screen should contain all the additionally selected dependencies. Click on "Next" there as well. On the next screen accept the Licenses and click on "Finish". After the installation Eclipse requires a restart. Do that.

Additionally you can now install the additional openSCADA components. These contain the OPC and the SNMP adapters. This will be part of the 0.2.0 release of Eclipse SCADA, but for now they have to be downloaded from the openSCADA site. To install it just repeat the steps above with the URL http://repo.openscada.org/p2/org.openscada/I/1.2.0/ and select the "OpenSCADA IDE" category.

After a restart you can start with configuring the SCADA system.
