When you install Developer Studio through the BYOE delivery model, the following behavior differences apply:

  • In a fresh Eclipse workspace, Project Explorer may display a Progress Adapters node after the Developer Studio features are installed, because the .r and Progress Adapter Filter filters are initially cleared. In subsequent new workspaces, these filters are enabled by default.
  • You start the IDE by running the standard Eclipse launcher, eclipse.exe, because the LaunchPDSOE.bat, integrateArchitect.bat, and other custom launcher scripts are not provided. You configure startup options in eclipse.ini, when required.
  • You install the Developer Studio through the standard Eclipse p2 installation workflow, because the OpenEdge installer screen that previously installed Developer Studio plugins into an external Eclipse is no longer provided.
  • The new window title is OpenEdge Editor - Eclipse instead of OpenEdge Editor - Editor.
  • The default New menu no longer displays the OpenEdge project wizards and ABL options. You can access these options by switching to the OpenEdge Editor perspective or by selecting File > New > Other and navigating to the OpenEdge category.
  • In Window > Preferences > General > Keys, the Progress Scheme key binding configuration is not selected by default. To use Progress-specific keyboard shortcuts, open the Keys preference page and select Progress Scheme.
  • Because the Developer Studio features run directly within the Eclipse UI, some interface elements display standard Eclipse branding instead of consistently displaying the Progress Developer Studio branding.
  • With Eclipse 4.38, 4.39, or 4.40 and a Feature Repository-based installation, the Class Browser requires a supported browser engine. Use one of the following options:
    • Install the Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime separately if it is not already available on the system.
    • If Eclipse displays the Default browser engine not available dialog box, select Use IE and then reopen the Class Browser. Eclipse restarts and you may need to select Use IE again when the dialog box appears.

  • By default, Eclipse opens standard Java perspective instead of the OpenEdge Editor perspective. You can switch to it by selecting Window > Perspective > Open Perspective > Other > OpenEdge Editor.
  • Provide a supported Eclipse installation, because a bundled Eclipse installation is no longer included.
  • Progress splash and welcome screens are unavailable in the BYOE installation.
