Configuring iDempiere within Eclipse

info

This procedure is intended for technical users configuring iDempiere to run inside Eclipse.

Configuring

To run iDempiere from within Eclipse you must configure parameters first. This is done by running a preconfigured application called install.app.

1. Open Eclipse.
2. Navigate to Run > Run Configurations > Eclipse Application.
3. Select install.app and click Run.
4. Fill the parameters as shown in the screenshot, or with your own preferred values.

Important Parameters

• iDempiere Home: This is the repository folder.
• Web Port / SSL: Be careful not to use a port already used by another application.
  • On Linux, ports below 1000 cannot be used by non-root users.
  • On some systems, port 8080 is sometimes used by Oracle-XE.
• DB Already Exists: Check this flag because the database was already imported.
• Database Name: Fill with the database name created in Importing DB Seed Manually.
• DB Admin Password: This can be left empty when DB Already Exists is marked.
  • If you fill it, use the postgres password.
• Database Password: Fill with the password you provided when creating the adempiere user.

Alternative Console App

There is another application that can be used too, called install.console.app. Instead of opening a window, it asks parameters from the keyboard in the Eclipse console tab.
