Deploy the desktop analysis components

Learn how Klocwork administrators can deploy the desktop analysis components for their users to install.

  1. Log in to the Customer Support Portal with your user ID and password, or register as a new user.
  2. Download the kw-desktop-tools package for your platform.
  3. Download the eclipse_plugins_data_windows package.
    4. Do not delete the clients.json file from the <server_install_path>/clients directory.
  4. In your Validate <server_install_path>/clients directory:
    • Unzip the kw-desktop-tools package for your platform.
    • Create a folder called update-site and unzip the eclipse_plugins_data_windows package there. 
  5. In the clients.json file, edit the section under title: "Eclipse update site":
    1. Update the file: field to the location of the update-site folder.
    2. Delete the url: line.
    3. Save the file.

      4. Here is an example of an updated clients.json file:

      {
    title: "Eclipse update site",
    title_ja: "Eclipse 更新サイト",
    show_link: false,

    platforms: {
        "all platforms": {
            file: "update-site"
        }
    }
}
  6. Refresh Validate and verify that the packages and the Eclipse update site appear under Resources > Downloads. Your users can download a tool from Validate and install it on their own.
  7. Communicate the deployment to your users by sending them a link to Validate and the installation instructions, or an internal email that describes how to download and install the plugins.
