Important Final Steps

Upon installing ATF through the downloadable zip file, certain pieces of 3rd party components should be added to some of the plugins in order to gain ATF's full functionality. The purpose of this section is to specify where to get these pieces of 3rd party content, and where to place the content within the installed plugins.

In the org.eclipse.atf.personality.rico.runtime plugin:

• Open the resources/ directory
  • add prototype.js
  • add rico.js

Note: you can obtain prototype.js and rico.js from http://openrico.org/rico/downloads.page
Note: this has only been tested with prototype 1.3.1 and rico 1.1-beta2

---

In the org.eclipse.atf.personality.dojo.runtime plugin:

• Open the resources/ directory
  • Extract the content of the Dojo download
  • Copy all the content from the dojo-<version>-ajax/ directory into plugin's resource/ directory.
    Note: At the end, the plugin's resource/ directory should at least contain the src/ directory from the Dojo download.

Note: you can obtain the necessary Dojo code from http://dojotoolkit.org/download/
Note: The ATF javascript validator will flag a few of the base Dojo javascript source files as having errors. These "errors" can be ignored and should not cause any break in Dojo functionality.

---

In the org.eclipse.atf.javascript.jslint plugin:

• Add jslint.js to the resources/ directory of the plugin

Note: you can obtain jslint.js by:

• Go to the URL, http://www.jslint.com/fulljslint.js
• Save the page as jslint.js

Once ATF is installed, Eclipse must be restarted using the -clean flag ( i.e. eclipse -clean ).
