Make Agents Yourself

h1. SpeADL MAY Installation

h2. Java Development Kit

You will need to install the Java Development Kit (JDK) in order to run Eclipse.

You can download it here if you don't have it already : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/

h2. Eclipse Kepler

You will need the latest Eclipse *Kepler* distribution. The Eclipse IDE for Java Developers will be fine.

*Warning : make sure you download the version that matches your JDK. If you have a 32bits JDK, take the 32bits version of Eclipse Kepler. If you have the 64bits JDK, choose Eclipse Kepler 64bits.*

You can download Eclipse Kepler here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/.

If you are behind a proxy you may need to configure Eclipse for it, but this is out of scope of this installation guide.

h2. Make Agents Yourself Plugin

Now you are ready to install the MAY plugin for Eclipse.

For that you need to add its update site as well as the update site of the Xtext framework.

Go to *Help* / *Install New Software...*

For the Xtext update site, click *Add...* and enter the following informations:

*Name* : xtext

*Location* : http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/

For the MAY update site, click again *Add...* and enter the following informations:

*Name* : may

*Location* : http://www.irit.fr/~Victor.Noel/may/update-may-3/

Then in order to actually install the plugin, expand the category *Make Agents Yourself* and select the desired version (the last is at the top).

Then click *Next* and it will take some times calculating requirements and dependencies.

Click *Next* again when it shows you the install details and accept the terms of the licence agreements, then *Finish*.

Click *OK* when you get the security warning, and accept to restart Eclipse now.
