Working with Profiles

Yoxos Profiles

Yoxos profiles enable tool setup in minutes instead of hours; developers can share all necessary configurations to keep them consistent and in sync for all team members. Using an intuitive Ajax Web 2.0 interface (or from within Eclipse) development teams create their project-specific tool profiles from a broad set of Eclipse plug-ins and features. Profiles can easily be shared between developers by providing simple URL´s. You can explore profiles by switching to the "Profile" tab on Yoxos OnDemand. Simply save your selection as a profile. And don't forget to take full advantage of configuring your profile with workspace provisioning.

Workspace Provisioning

With workspace provisioning, you can not only customize the plug-in set but also the plugin configuration, settings, Eclipse preferences and more. Once started, Eclipse will automatically be updated with predefined projects, settings and tools. This can include tools for sourcecode management (CVS, Subversion), bug and requirements tracking (Bugzilla, Jira), quality control (Checkstyle), Mylyn configurations, team project sets, and plug-in preferences like for code formatters. When the profile changes all team members get notified and can synchronize their local environment. Try the "Add/Edit workspace provisioning" view action of the "Profile" view.

Release 4.0 FAQ

Q: Where is Eclipse 3.6 Helios?
A: Eclipse 3.6 is available via the Yoxos 5 Launcher. Yoxos onDemand will not be upgraded to Eclipse 3.6.

Q: What is Yoxos Install Manager (YIM)?
A: YIM allows you to manage and configure your own custom Eclipse installations. You can save any number of configurations, including preferences settings, for your own use and to share with your team.

Q: What is new in 4.0 Release?
A: In the UI, you'll find many bugfixes and workflow improvements. However, the most significant changes in YIM4 are under the hood: we've replaced the older update functionality and upgraded YIM to take advantage of the latest p2 update technology. This new technology will enable us to provide you with exciting new features in the near future. So stay tuned.

Q. Why do I need to do a full re-install?
A: YIM4 has now fully integrated the Eclipse P2 update technology. P2 is not compatible with the original YIM update management code so a full re-install is necessary.

Q: Can I run my old install and the new one in parallel?
A: Yes. You just need to unzip your new download in a different directory from your old installation.

Q: How long does the download take?
A: This depends on the download size and your bandwidth. You'll get a size estimate when configuring your download.

Q: Any known issues?
A: None at the time of the release.
