1. A Servoy Developer installation, with the SQL Explorer plugin installed
2. A separate Eclipse environment with the Eclipse plugin development tools installed 
3. Configuration of the Eclipse installation

Before getting started: 32 or 64 bit installation

The easiest setup will be when both Servoy Developer and Eclipse operate either under 32 of 64 bit.

Servoy Developer: When installing Servoy Developer, the installer will automatically detect if it's being operated under a 32 or 64 bit Java Virtual Machine and will install a 32 or 64 bit version of Servoy accordingly. By making a certain JVM the default JVM before launching the cross platform Servoy installer or launching the cross platform Servoy installer using a specific JVM, one can control if the installer will install a 32 or 64 bit version of Servoy.

Eclipse: When downloading Eclipse distributions, there are specific downloads available for 32 or 64 bit systems. Note that for Windows, only limited Eclipse distributions offer a download for 64 bit Windows.

When mixing 32 and 64 bit, more configuration is required. This will be discussed under Configuration > Setup the Target Platform.

   Tip
   Check the JVM setup of Eclipse/Servoy Developer Check the JVM setup of Eclipse/Servoy Developer
   To check if Eclipse/Servoy Developer runs on a 32 or 64 bit JVM follow the following steps: Open Eclipse/Servoy Developer Go to Help > About Eclipse/About Servoy Developer > Installation Details > Configuration tab and look for the text '-arch'. If the text is followed by 'x86', Eclipse/Servoy Developer runs on 32 bit. If it is followed by 'x86_64', Eclipse/Servoy Developer runs on 64 bit

• Switch to the Java Perspective: Window > Open Perspective > Java
• Expand to com.servoy.eclipse.core > target in the Package Explorer
• Open (double-click) the correct .target file:
  • when Eclipse and Servoy Developer both run on either a 32 or 64 bit JVM, open the generic.target file
  • otherwise, open the file that matches the Servoy Developer environment
• Click the 'Set as Target Platform'. This will setup the Target Platform correctly, after which projects will be build and should compile without error. TipCheck the JVM setup of Eclipse/Servoy DeveloperCheck the JVM setup of Eclipse/Servoy Developer

  To check if Eclipse/Servoy Developer runs on a 32 or 64 bit JVM follow the following steps:

• Open Eclipse/Servoy Developer
• Go to Help > About Eclipse/About Servoy Developer > Installation Details > Configuration tab and look for the text '-arch'.
If the text is followed by 'x86', Eclipse/Servoy Developer runs on 32 bit. If it is followed by 'x86_64', Eclipse/Servoy Developer runs on 64 bit
• When using a mixed setup (generic.target is NOT used), the following additional steps are required:
  • Add the JVM that is used by Servoy Developer to the Eclipse instance:
    • Open window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs and click "Add"
    • Select "Standard VM" and click "Next"
    • Select the directory of the JVM used by Servoy Developer as "JRE home" and click "Finish"
    • Due to a bug in Eclipse: close the Preferences window
    • Open Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs > Execution Environments
    • Select the correct Execution Environment (the correct version of J2SE/JavaSE) and check the checkbox besides the name of the JRE under "Compatible JREs"that was added in the previous step

Ready: After completing the steps described above, the Eclipse installation is setup correctly to launch Servoy Developer. By starting a Debug session (F11 or Run >  Debug) Servoy Developer is launched from Eclipse.
