INSTALLATION
------------


1. unzip the installation file into the plugin directory of Eclipse


2. install JDBC Drivers.


   Please note that the tool has only been tested for DB2 at the moment.



  2.1: DB2


	copy the file db2java.zip from your DB2 directory into the directory  

	<eclipse install dir>/eclipse/plugins/net.sourceforge.bigsplash.db.connect.db2_0.2.1


  2.2 other databases: create a new plugin for the database ABC:

	- copy the directory net.sourceforge.bigsplash.db.connect.db2_0.2.1, rename to net.sourceforge.bigsplash.db.connect.ABC_0.2.1

	- edit the plugin.xml file: 

		- change every occurance of db2 to ABC
		- replace the line

			<library name="db2java.zip"/>
			
		  with the filename of the jar or zip containing the JDBC driver for the ABC database

		- in the <driverdescriptor> element, change the attribute value of attribute "driverClassName" to
		the name of the class implementing java.sql.Driver for the ABC database.

	- add the jar or zip file containing the JDBC driver for the ABC database to 
          directory net.sourceforge.bigsplash.db.connect.ABC_0.2.1





3. edit connection profiles		

	the file (...)/plugins/net.sourceforge.bigsplash.db.connect_0.2.1/ConnectionConfiguration.xml should contain your connection profiles 


	a sample ConnectionConfiguration.xml

	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
	<ConnectionConfiguration>
		<ConnectionProfile driverDescriptor="DB2" connectionURL="jdbc:db2:SAMPLE" username="db2adm"/>
		<ConnectionProfile driverDescriptor="DB2" connectionURL="jdbc:db2:SAMPLE" username="user2"/>
		<ConnectionProfile driverDescriptor="DB2" connectionURL="jdbc:db2:SAMPLE2" username="test"/>
	</ConnectionConfiguration>


	- note that the attribute "driverDescriptor" must match the attribute "name" of the jdbc extension.
	
	e.g. for DB2, the plugin descriptor net.sourceforge.bigsplash.db.connect.db2_0.2.1/plugin.xml contains the
	extension for "jdbc" with name=DB2 
	
	e.g. for another database ABC this will probably be "ABC", cfr. point 2.2
