OpenEdge Architect

OE Architect 10.1A ships with (and points its shortcuts to) Java 1.4, but ProRefactor requires Java 5. Download and install the latest Java, then simply copy and change the OE Architect shortcut: remove or change the -vm argument. (Simply removing it lets Eclipse find the default Java on your computer.) After that, the usual Help->Install routine for installing ProRefactor seems to work fine. (Tested with the 10.1a01 patch installed.)

Adding ProRefactor Configuration to Existing Projects

If you create a ProRefactor Project, then this step is not necessary. If you create a project of any other sort (such as Simple or OpenEdge) then open the project's .project file, and add the following line to the natures section:

<nature>org.prorefactor.eclipse.ProRefactorNature</nature>

Special update instructions for specific versions

Version 1.6.0, April 13, 2007

You must re-dump your schema, using the Project Config Dump version 002. Field extent has been added to the schema dump layout, so old schema dump files will not work with ProRefactor 1.6.

Version 1.4.0, March 29, 2006

  • "Search for updates" won't find the update from 1.3 to 1.4. Please use "Search for new features" to install 1.4.
  • Also see the notes from version 1.3.

Version 1.3.0, Feb 2006

  • This version of ProRefactor requires Java 5.0 or later and Eclipse 3.1 or later.
  • If updating from an older verion of ProRefactor, you must re-dump your schema before using this version of ProRefactor, because data-type information has been added to the schemadump programs.

Version 1.2.3, Jan 2005

If you currently have the old Joanju.com.prorefactor plugin installed, please follow these steps to upgrade:

  • Remove the old com.joanju.* features/plugins.
  • Change your .project file to replace com.joanju.prorefactor.ProRefactorNature with org.prorefactor.eclipse.ProRefactorNature.
  • Install ProRefactor from ProRefactor.org, and restart Eclipse.
