Note: The OpenEdge Release 10.2B demos have not been updated for OpenEdge Release 11.0. Since 10.2B, OpenEdge Architect has been renamed as Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge. In addition, OpenEdge Release 11.0 includes some feature enhancements and other changes. Despite the differences between 10.2B and 11.0, the demos are still a useful introduction to Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge.
Start Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge by running the Eclipse executable (OpenEdge-install-dir/DeveloperStudio3.6/eclipse/eclipse.exe) with a startup parameter that points to the appropriate Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The default is -vm OpenEdge-install-dir/DeveloperStudio3.6/jre/bin/javaw.exe).
In Windows, you can start Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge from the Start menu by selecting one of the Developer Studio items under the Progress node.
Note: Some of the Developer Studio items include the Clean (-clean) option. The -clean option in the startup command clears any cached data before starting the Eclipse executable. This is useful when restarting Eclipse after modifying any plugins. It ensures that you see the latest version of all files.
In general, the Progress Developer Studio for OpenEdge startup sequence is:
1. Eclipse starts, modified by any startup parameters set on a command line or in icon properties. (See Setting Eclipse startup preferences.)
2. The Workspace Launcher dialog appears and prompts you to specify the path of a workspace. (See Selecting a workspace.)
3. The Eclipse Workbench appears in one of the following modes:
4. If you specified a new workspace, Eclipse opens displaying the Welcome to Progress Developer Studio page.
5. If you specified an existing workspace, Eclipse attempts to start the AVM and any required database connections.The Workbench displays an existing workspace in the state in which it was left the last time it was opened.
