IBM Worklight 6.0 - Trouble adding the Worklight file entries option

Question

I am trying to install Worklight 6 following these instructions on the IBM website.

Steps 1 - 10 complete (as far as I can tell) successfully. The instructions then say

Before you run Worklight Studio, determine whether you must run extra post-installation tasks. Important: After you finish installing IBM Worklight Developer Edition, when you restart Eclipse, click Window > Open perspective > Other, and select Design in the Open Perspective window. If you do not select the Design perspective, you cannot see the Worklight entries when you click File > New. When you click File > New after Design is selected, you can see the Worklight entries.

I do not see the entry for Design in the Open Perspective window. The installation history tells me that Worklight is installed so I assume I should be able to complete the What to do next steps but I can't.

Eclipse 4.2.2
IBM 1.7 JDK
Worklight 6
Ubuntu 12.04

Answer 1

Did you choose to install all 3 options during the installation? Namely:

• IBM Worklight Studio
• IBM jQuery Mobile Tools
• IBM Dojo Mobile tools

In any case, there is another way to add the Worklight options (it will add it to both the File >> New... menu and the right-click context menu >> New...):

1. Window >> Customize Perspective... >> Shortcuts
2. In the Shortcuts Categories section on the left side scroll all the way to the bottom and tick the "Worklight" checkbox
3. Press OK

Even w/out doing the above, you always have the Worklight icon in the top toolbar which hold the same functionality.

Personally I don't like using the File menu for that. I find myself using either the Worklight icon in the top toolbar or the right-click context menu (less restrictive as you can get to it from anywhere you right-click while in Eclipse).
