Updating modules manually
If you are unable to configure your IDE to use the Update Center with your firewall or proxy, you can download a ZIP archive containing the available modules from the Forte for Java web site and update the IDE from the extracted files.
To update the IDE from files downloaded manually:
- Download the most recent ZIP archive from the Forte For Java web site containing the modules.
- Extract the files from the downloaded archive to a folder on your system.
- Choose Help | Update Center... from the main menu to bring up the Update Center wizard.
- On the first page of the wizard, select the Install manually downloaded modules radio button and click Next to move to the second page.
- Click Add... to bring up the file chooser, navigate to the directory where you placed the files, select the directory, and click OK.
- Click Next to go to the third page of the wizard and proceed according to steps 4 through 6 of the previous procedure for updating through the web site.
You can also add modules manually by right-clicking on the
Modules
node and choosing New Module from File.... The Open dialog box will appear enabling you to browse for the JAR file containing the module. If you select a valid module and click OK, the module will be installed into the IDE.
