Installation

Since ProDT is developed under the Eclipse architecture, it is deployed as a set of plugins which you can install into your current Eclipse installation.

Although, to make things simpler, it is also deployed as an entire Eclipse with ProDT's plugins already installed (the SDK) for Linux and Windows.

Requirements

  • You will need to have a JRE 1.5 or higher in your system. If you don't have a jre in your system you can download one from here
  • Eclipse 3.6
  • If you downloaded just the plugins you'll need to have DLTK 2.0 installed in your Eclipse installation
  • You also need one of the supported prolog compilers.

Using the SDK

1) Extract the contents of of ProDT's .zip/.tar.gz in a new directory.

2) Launch Eclipse using the executable named eclipse on the root of the extraction directory.

3) Configure the prolog compiler.

Installing the Plugins on an Eclipse 3.6

1) If you don't have an Eclipse already installed, you can use one of this according to your operative system Eclipse 3.6

2) If you used the update site instead of downloading the plugins manually go to step 6)

3) Extract the contents of the eclipse's zip/.tar.gz file.

4) Inside it you will find a directory called dropins which is where you should copy the the contents of ar.com.tadp.prolog_1.0.0.zip which contains the ProDT plugin and its dependencies.

5) Launch Eclipse using the executable named eclipse on the root of the extraction directory.

6) Configure the prolog compiler.
