Software Updates for the ADORA
tool prototype
Updating the ADORA tool is
important, especially if you like to get the newest updates in the
on-going developement of the ADORA tool. For updating the ADORA tool you can use the Eclipse update
mechanism, which is started up like shown in Fig. 1 by choosing Help / Software Updates / Find and
Install....

update mechanism of Eclipse.
After starting up the update
mechnism, the update wizard starts up and shows a window like shown in
Fig. 2. Choose there Search for
updates of the currently installed features if you installed already the ADORA tool or choose Search for new
features to install. We
will show the screens of the install wizard for Search for new
features to install. The
screens for Search for
updates of the currently installed features are quite similar.

After pressing next, we get to
the page of the wizard with all the updatesites that are registered.
Here, we can register new update sites or simply choose an already
registered site for searching updates. If we want to register (if you
haven't done this yet) the update site for ADORA, we have to click on New Remote
Site...

for new features or features to upgrade.
For registering the ADORA update site (which is currently
located at http://belize.ifi.unizh.ch/update) enter the name for the update site,
e.g. ADORA
Update Site and the corresponding WWW-URL (Fig. 4). Afterwards you save
the changes by clicking on OK.

After registering the new update
site, it is listed in the update site list (Fig. 5). Now, you are able
to choose this site for looking up updates or for the installation of
new features. For doing so, enable all update sites that should be
checked for updates/the new installation of features and press Finish.

now the recently registered update site.
After the update sites were
checked, the features which can be updated/newly installed are listed.
Choose now the element you want to install/update, i.e. in our case the
ADORA tool update (as shown in Fig. 6) and press next.

agreement for all features which you like to be updated, a summary list
is shown (see Fig. 8). Press now Finish.

Each time a feature is not signed a dialog shows this and asks for a
confirmation for the installation of the feature (Fig. 9). In this case
press Install.
