Chapter 2. Install the IDE Plugin


Review the supported configurations to make sure that you are using a development environment that is compatible with the IDE Plugin.

Note

If you are running macOS, it is recommended to set the maximum number of user processes, maxproc, to at least 2048, and the maximum number of open files, maxfiles, to 100000.

If you do not already have an existing installation, download Eclipse or Red Hat CodeReady Studio and install it.

Note

This guide uses IDE to refer to an installation of Eclipse or Red Hat CodeReady Studio.

There is a RHAMT extension for Visual Studio Code and Eclipse Che. The extension is only available as a Minimum Viable Product and will be fully documented and supported in a future Release of RHAMT. For more information about the extension, visit the Visual Studio Marketplace.
