Eclipse: Install Polyspace as You Code Plugin

The Polyspace® as You Code™ plugin in Eclipse™-based IDEs allows you to run Polyspace on the file that you are currently viewing and see analysis results such as bugs and coding standard violations. You must install the Polyspace as You Code analysis engine to run the analysis. The plugin allows you to use this analysis engine from Eclipse and show results produced by the Polyspace analysis.

After you install the analysis engine with the MathWorks® installer, use the contents of the polyspaceroot\polyspace\plugin\eclipse_payc folder to install the plugin. This folder is available only after you run the installer. Here, polyspaceroot is the Polyspace as You Code installation folder, for instance, C:\Program Files\Polyspace\R2026a.

The Polyspace as You Code plugin is not compatible with the Polyspace desktop plugin for Eclipse. Uninstall the desktop plugin before installing the Polyspace as You Code Eclipse plugin.
