Re: [epf-dev] epf installation

Hi Bjorn, thanks for your questions.

On the EPF page you find a link to Getting
Started material that should help you understand and use the EPF Composer
tool. Please refer to: http://www.eclipse.org/epf/general/getting_started.php

Briefly explaining, you can use EPF
Composer tool (the software part) to create your own process description,
or use anyone of the many process descriptions (the documentation part,
if you will) available as part of this project, such the ones you mentioned:

- OpenUP - a minimal, complete, and
extensible process based on agile and UP principles
- ABRD - Agile Business Rules Development
guidance for projects that involve developing business rules
- DSDM, Scrum, XP are also available
as part of the project.

In order to open these libraries, simply
unzip the *library*.zip file in your local file system and point Composer
to open the library.xmi file. This scenario is useful if you want to publish
the out-of-the-box content yourself, or extend/reuse this content.
However, if you want to use the out-of-the-box
content as is, you can simply unzip the *published*.zip of your choice,
and run index.htm - it will open your Internet browser and you will be
able to navigate the published content.

Do you have to install all of them?
It depends on what you are looking for. Are you interested in following
one of these particular methods or document/use one defined by your organization?

I hope this reply adds some clarity
and addresses your questions. But please look at the Getting Started session
of the EPF web site for more material, such as articles, demo recordings,
and such.
And send further questions to this group
at anytime.

Regards,

Ricardo Balduino.

Sorry for the very basic question:  How do I install
epf??  

On the http://www.eclipse.org/epf/
page I found no simple instructions:  What do I have to download,
what could/should I download, how should I configure the beast?  I
have installed the epf-composer, the software starts when I click on epf.exe,
that is easy.  But then there are other things, like: 
EPF Practices 1.5.0.1 - Library (epf_practices_library-1.5.0.1-20081027.zip),
Published Web site  (epf_practices_published-1.5.0.1-20081027.zip),
ABRD published Web site (abrd_published-1.5-20081022.zip)
What are they good for?  Do I have to install them?   What part
of epf is is documentation and framework and what is software?

The epf composer appears to run independently from eclipse.exe itself,
is there no integration?

There is also DSDM_OpenUP?  Do I have to/should I install them?

Thank you for any help.

Regards,

Bjorn
