Deploying plugins

How to deploy a plugin into CAIP version >= 8.0.0

Copy the plugin folder into : %ALLUSERSPROFILE%/CAST/CAST/Extensions

You may also redefine the variable CAST_PLUGINS_ROOT_PATH in CastGlobalSettings.ini for replacing %ALLUSERSPROFILE%/CAST/CAST/Extensions by a custom location.

Note

During the development phase, the best way to go is to have the ecplise project pointing to the deployed plugin.

Note

Deploying the tests folder is ‘optional’.

Then activate the plugin for a combined install though servman ‘Manage Extensions’.

Run CAIP as usual, you should see the log messages during anlysis.

How to deploy a plugin into CAIP version <= 8.0.0

Before 8.0.0, the deploy/servman phase is different.

Copy the plugin folder into : <flat path>/CustomPlugins; create the folder if needed.

After deploying some plugin this should give something like :

Result of a correct deploy.

Then, if your plugin contains Metamodel or InstallScript components go to servman and perform ‘Component Reinstall’.
