Installing the Silk4J Eclipse Plug-in Manually

The Silk4J Eclipse plug-in enables you to create Java-based test scripts directly in your Eclipse environment. You can install the Silk4J Eclipse plug-in when you install Silk Test using the Silk Test installation wizard.

Use this procedure:

If you upgrade your version of Eclipse after you install the Silk4J plug-in.
If you chose the Install Silk4J manually option during installation.
If you did not install the Silk4J Eclipse plug-in when you installed Silk Test, and you want to install it manually.

If you chose the Install Silk4J Manually option during installation, locate the dropins folder in the Silk Test installation directory. By default the location is C:\Program Files (x86)\Silk\Silk Test\dropins.
Copy the Silk4J.link file and paste it into the Eclipse dropins folder. For example, if your Eclipse environment is installed at C:\Eclipse, copy the Silk4J.link file to C:\Eclipse\dropins.
Restart Eclipse if it was running when you performed the Silk4J installation. When installation completes, access the Eclipse environment by clicking (in Microsoft Windows 7) Start > Programs > Silk > Silk Test > Clients > Silk4J or (in Microsoft Windows 10) Start > Silk > Silk4J. For instructions for using the plug-in, refer to the online help within the plug-in.
Tip: If you encounter problems starting Silk4J, start Eclipse with the parameter -clean one time.
