If you have developer tools that are installed, you can install feature assets, open source integration assets, product sample assets, runtime assets, add-on assets, and config snippet assets from the Liberty Repository.

About this task

Developer tools for WebSphere® Application Server, such as IBM® WebSphere Application Server Developer Tools for Eclipse, provide a graphical user interface that you can use to install Liberty Repository assets. This task shows you how to install assets by using IBM WebSphere Application Server Developer Tools for Eclipse Beta.

Procedure

  • Install assets while creating a new Liberty server from the Servers view.

    In the Servers view, you can install feature assets, open source integration assets, product runtime environment assets, product sample assets, and add-on assets when you create a Liberty server. You can install config snippet assets after you create a Liberty server. For more information, see the Creating a Liberty server by using developer tools topic.

  • Install assets from the Runtime Explorer view.

    In the Runtime Explorer view, you can install feature assets, open source integration assets, product sample assets, and add-on assets as add-ons when you create a runtime environment or when you create a server in a runtime environment. For more information, see the Exploring the runtime environment by using developer tools topic.
