How to Configure the AccuRev Web UI

To configure the AccuRev Web UI to work with Eclipse, you need to modify the AccuRev Server settings.xml file as described in the following procedure:
  1. Shut down Eclipse.
  2. Create a file called settings.xml and add these lines: 
    <settings>
   <webui url="http://webui-host:port/accurev"/>
</settings>

    Where webui-host:port is the server name and port of the server hosting the AccuRev Web UI -- localhost:8080, for example.

  3. On the AccuRev Server, save settings.xml in the storage\site_slice\dispatch\config directory where you installed AccuRev.
  4. If you are using AccuRev replica servers, create and save settings.xml to the storage\site_slice\dispatch\config directories on those machines as well.
  5. Restart Eclipse. Several new buttons appear on the AccuRev perspective toolbar as shown in the following illustration:

    The highlighted groups of buttons are for features that are accessible only after access to the AccuRev Web UI has been configured:

    • Version Browser
    • Annotate
    • Open the Web UI
    • Open the StreamBrowser
    • Create
    • New Issue
    • Open Issue Queries
  6. Click the Open Web UI button to start the AccuRev Web UI within the Eclipse framework.
    Note: If you are not already logged in to AccuRev, you are prompted to do so. See Logging In to AccuRev in the AccuRev Plug-In for Eclipse User’s Guide for more information.
