PI 7.1 Java Mapping using Eclipse

Former Member

Firstly I apologize if this has been asked before, but after spending an hour searching the discussions I could not find an answer.

About two years ago I found a way (from a SDN blog I believe) on how to setup NWDS to compile Java Mappings for PI 7.1.

My previous computer crashed and I lost that configuration. Now I need to modify a Java mapping and do not recall the process to setup NWDS.

My recollection was that I downloaded a base NWDS package (not the whole CE studio) and then used the Update Site to setup the necessary environment objects (to create PI mappings/JAR) for the Eclipse editor.

I thought this was covered in a blog post. Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Thank you for helping.

Hi Tadd,

you can follow these steps        

1. Download eclipse from here http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ you can download eclipse SDK 3.4.2-win32 version.

2.you  need 1.5 j2sdk from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html

3. Finally you need external jar file com.sap.xpi.ib.mapping.lib.jar .Read this article to know where to download this from http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/XI/Where+to+get+the+libraries+for+XI+development

4. Once you create a java project, right click and go to project build path and add  com.sap.xpi.ib.mapping.lib.jar as external jar file.

That does not provide all the libraries (like JCO) that I'm using.

I'm downloading the entire NW Composition Environment. I previously followed a guide that showed how to setup the NWDS for PI development. Can't locate now, and even harder to search since 7.3 uses Eclipse so too many results are for 7.3.
