About this task

Before adding anything else to a package, you add the base Eclipse file to it.

      https://cms.ixiasoft.com/downloads/
    2. Click the CCMS Desktop folder.
    3. Download the eclipse-4.7.3_win32_x86_64_<version>.zip file where <version> is the latest version available.
      This file is for a Windows 64-bit platform.
  2. Extract the content of the downloaded file into a temporary directory, such as C:\temp\desktop-packages\prod.
