# Eclipse

The **JFrog Eclipse Plugin** integrates JFrog Xray scanning into Eclipse, enabling developers to analyze Maven, Gradle, and npm project dependencies. It provides real-time vulnerability insights within Eclipse, allowing developers to make informed decisions about using specific components before they become part of the organization's product.

### **Prerequisites**

* **JFrog Xray** version 1.7.2.3 or later.

### Key Features

* **Vulnerability Scanning** – View security issues in project dependencies.
* **License Compliance** – Filter results based on license types.
* **Filtering Options** – Narrow down scanned results by **issues** or **licenses**.

### Source Code

The **JFrog Eclipse Plugin** source code is available on [GitHub](https://github.com/JFrog/artifactory-user-plugins).

# Supported Technologies

### JFrog Advanced Security Supported Technologies

See Jfrog Advanced Security supported technologies for:

* [SAST](https://docs.jfrog.com/security/docs/sast)
* [Contextual Analysis](https://docs.jfrog.com/security/docs/contextual-analysis-of-cves)
* [Secrets](https://docs.jfrog.com/security/docs/secrets-scans)
* [IaC](https://docs.jfrog.com/security/docs/misconfigurations-scans)

### Software Composition Analysis (SCA) Supported Technologies

For SCA, the command automatically detects your project's package manager and constructs the dependency graph; if the project hasn't been installed yet, the system executes an install command to generate the dependency tree for scanning.

### Supported Package Managers for Eclipse:

* **Maven**
* **Gradle**
* **npm**

## **Install the JFrog Eclipse Plugin**

1. **Download** the JFrog Eclipse IDE Plugin zip file.
2. Open **Eclipse** and go to **Help** > **Install New Software**.
3. Click **Add**, then select **Archive**.
4. Choose the **plugin zip file** you downloaded and click **Add**.
5. Click **Next** to complete the installation.

**Note**: If JFrog Xray is behind an **HTTP proxy**, configure the proxy settings described [here](https://help.eclipse.org/latest/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.user%2Freference%2Fref-net-preferences.htm). (Supported in versions 1.1.1 and 1.2.0 of the JFrog Eclipse Plugin.)

## **Configure the Plugin**

After installing the plugin, you need to connect it to **JFrog Xray**.

1. Open **Eclipse Preferences** and go to **JFrog Xray**.
2. Enter your **JFrog Platform URL**, **Username**, and **Password**.
3. (Optional) To generate debug logs, check the **Generate Debug Logs** box. 
4. Click **Test Connection** to verify your setup.

## **Scan and View Xray Results**

Once connected, you can start scanning Gradle projects with JFrog Xray.

* **Run a scan** and view results directly in Eclipse.

# Quick Start

## **Opening the JFrog Tab**

To access the JFrog plugin tab:

1. Go to **Window** > **Show View** > **Other**.
2. Under **Security**, select **JFrog**.

## **Scanning and Viewing Results**

Frog Xray **automatically scans** your project when the plugin loads at startup.

1. To manually trigger a scan, click **Refresh** in the JFrog plugin.
2. View the **scan results** directly in the plugin.

# How-Tos

## **Scanning Gradle Projects with the JFrog Eclipse IDE Plugin**

The JFrog plugin automatically generates a dependency tree for your project by executing a Gradle script. It reads the Gradle configuration defined in Eclipse, which is managed by the [Buildship plugin](https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/buildship-gradle-integration).

### **Accessing Gradle Configuration**

To view or modify the Gradle configuration:

1. Go to **Preferences** > **Gradle** > **Gradle Distribution** in Eclipse.

### **Gradle Configuration Handling**

* If a Gradle configuration is not set, the plugin will use **Gradle Wrapper** by default.
* If the project does not include Gradle Wrapper, Gradle will be automatically downloaded.
