TPTP Eclipse setup

Disclaimer-: I am no expert in TPTP, and you cannot take me to a court of law if things go haywire.

I decided to write this blog because most of the information around is bit scattered and time consuming to figure out.

This blog *may* help you in setting up your TPTP environment on eclipse.

Install JDK 1.5. ; JDK 1.6 will _NOT_ work

First of all download version 3.2.2 of eclipse.

Using your software update manager, install WTP(1.5.3) and its pre-requisites like GEF EMF etc.


Download Agent controller from
http://archive.eclipse.org/tptp/4.2.0/TPTP-4.2.0-200606190100A/agntctrl.win_ia32-TPTP-4.2.0.zip

Unzip and put it in a folder of your choice

Go into the bin directory within the agent controller

Run the file SetConfig.bat from a command prompt/shell.

Next copy the path to this (bin) folder, and add it to your PATH variable.(doubt if this is really needed)

Start the application called RAServer.exe

Run eclipse.

Create a new JBOSS runtime if it does not exist,

In the VM arguments for the server add this to the end of the existing argument list

-XrunpiAgent:server=enabled

Apply the changes

Start the server

Go to Run > profile > Attach -Java process

Double click it to create a new configuration

Select localhost:10002 (and test the connection, make sure you get a success).

Go to the agents tab(If you dont find, make sure RAServer.exe is running and you have JBoss also working)

There should be one agent on the left side.

Add it to the list of selected agents.

Go to the monitor tab and select the ones you need.(I use Memory & Execution time)

Click Apply , Profile


This should open the profile perspective

Right click on the node that says and select the option start monitoring.. that should set you up and running.

Now you can access your application and see how things are going.

Dont forget to change the filters to monitor classes relevant to your environment
