Install the Eclipse Plug-In
You install the JBoss AOP IDE in the same way as any other Eclipse plugin. Make sure you have Eclipse 3.0.x installed, and start it up. Select Help > Software Updates > Find and Install in the Eclipse workbench. In the wizard that opens, click on the "Search for new features to install" radio button, and click Next. On the next page you will need to add a new update site for JBossIDE. Click the "New Remote Site.." button. Type in "JBossIDE" for the name, and "http://jboss.sourceforge.net/jbosside/updates" for the URL, and click OK. You should see a new site in the list now called JBossIDE. click the "+" sign next to it to show the platforms available. Now, depending if you just want to install the AOP IDE (if you don't know what JBoss-IDE is, go for this set of options): Check the "JBoss-IDE AOP Standalone" checkbox. In the feature list you should check the "JBoss-IDE AOP Standalone 1.0" checkbox. If you have JBoss-IDE installed, or want to use all the other (non-AOP) features of JBoss-IDE: If you don't have JBossIDE installed, check the "JBoss-IDE 1.4/Eclipse 3.0" checkbox. Check the "JBoss-IDE AOP Extension" checkbox. In the feature list you should check the "JBoss-IDE AOP Extension 1.0" checkbox, and the JBoss-IDE (1.4.0) checkbox if you don't have JBossIDE installed. At this point you should only need to accept the license agreement(s) and wait for the install process to finish.
