IBM MQ - Install MQ Explorer in Eclipse

Updated:   |  IBM MQ articles

Eclipse is going to need the MQExplorerSDK.zip file to install the com.ibm.mq packages. To get MQExplorerSDK.zip, on the MQ Server, install the MQ Series JRE and MQ Series Explorer packages. After these packages are installed, copy the MQExplorerSDK.zip folder from the /opt/mqm/mqexplorer/eclipse directory to the machine that is running Eclipse.

~]# cd /opt/MQServer
~]# rpm -ivh MQSeriesJRE-<version>
~]# rpm -ivh MQSeriesExplorer-<version>

 

Install IBM MQ Explorer.

  1. In Eclipse, select Help > Install New Software.
  2. Select Add.
  3. Select Archive.
  4. Select MQExplorerSDK.zip.
  5. Check IBM MQ Explorer.
  6. Select Next.
  7. Select Next.
  8. Select Finish.

 

Setup Eclipse.

  1. In Eclipse, select  File > New > Java Project.
  2. Give your project a name, such as myMQProject and select Finish.
  3. In the left panel of Eclipse, expand myMQProject, right-click on the src folder and select New > Class.
  4. Give the new class a name, such as SimpleJMSProducer, and select Finish.
  5. Add the following markup.
    • Replace MANAGER01 with the name of your WebSphere MQ manager.
