Download Mule Studio Eclipse Plugin
Micael Bourdette
You may want to download Mule Anypoint Studio here. This Studio is an IDE which makes easy developing Mule applications and it accelerates developer productivity. So, IMHO, instead of installing Anypoint plugin on Eclipse, it would be better to download Anypoint Studio.
Have you selected Anypoint Studio while installing Mulesoft plugin. This will install Mule Runtime as well. If no then install Mule Runtime first. After that click on mule-project.xml and select Mule Runtime version and run mules project.
I'm using Mule ESB version 3.8 in eclipse and was handed a project that requires me to use 3.5 in mule studio in order to test it. Unfortunately, I can't just use install new software from the internet because the development I'm doing is on a network that is entirely disconnected from the internet.
You can't install new software without downloading it from the internet first. If you are working in an environment without internet, the only way to install a new runtime is as a standalone or .jar file (embedded). Download it from the website on another pc or laptop that is connected to the internet. Put it on a USB stick or other memory device and plug it in your development device and install. I haven't found a way to install the standalone version into Anypoint studio.
It should also be possible to install new runtimes from within Anypoint Studio (but again not without an internet connection). Go to 'Help' and select 'Install New Software...'. You'll have to enter a url or select a site from the list (the safest thing to do is check this site for urls, because I only encountered errors with the options already listed in Anypoint Studio which might be because of firewall settings). You'll get a list of all the available runtimes and can select and install the one you need.
Again you can't really install a new runtime without an internet connection. I don't know if you're able to switch networks briefly to be able to install the new runtime, ask your project leader if that's an option.
Git is a free and open-source distributed version control system that is designed to protect your data between versions, and enable developers to share changes to their code cross-organizationally. Git and Anypoint Studio combined is powerful when you are working on a team where you will need to track changes made to integrations developed in Anypoint Studio. In this tutorial, learn how to set up the EGit Plugin which allows you to commit, clone, pull and push to repositories directly from inside the Anypoint Studio IDE.
Initial Commit to Local and remote repository: As a part of a team of developers, you may be using an SCM (Source Code Management) tool such as git to keep track of changes in an application, you will need to create a repository in a shared location on Git to check-in your Mule application code from Studio so other developers can collaborate.
In the Configure Git repository window, Select the checkbox for Use or Create a repository in the parent folder of the project. (Note: Using this method you will make sure that the .git folder is created in your project root and not your parent folder.)
In the Anypoint Studio package explorer, you can see the arrow mark and questions mark symbols for your studio files. This icon indicates that you have created a Git repository for your project on your local drive, but you have not yet registered it and are not yet tracking changes to the project.
Once you have clicked on the Commit button. You will see the Git Staging tab opened up. Select all the files that you want to check-in in Git then right-click on the selected files and click on Add to index.
Paste the URL of the empty repository created in Remote Git. If you do not have token authentification enabled for your Org in GitHub. Use Basic authentication and enter the username and password for your USER ID.
If you have two-factor authentication enabled for your Org then you are required to use the token-based authentication. (According to this blog post you will have to use tokens for authentication even for a Git repository on GitHub.com after H2 of 2021).
Go to the Developer Settings button at the left under Account Settings. Choose Personal Access Tokens then hit Generate new token button to create one. Now give the token a description. Define the access scope for the token and then copy the generated token. You can then paste the token into the password field.
Cloning a project from a remote repository: After the initial commit, team members will start collaborating and adding code to the branch in development. To commit their changes to the remote repository they will first need to import a remote repository in their studio workspace. To import a repository from remote you will need to follow the steps below:
In Git Perspective, Click on the Clone a Git repository option. **Please note that if the workspace is already having projects, then you would need to use this method to clone the GIT Repo : File Import Search Git Clone URI.
Select the directory you want to store the repository. This will be the same location where you will make changes to the project in your local. You can choose the location of your workspace as well. Then click Finish.
Next, switch to the Mule Design Perspective. Now you will need to import the project in your Package explorer so you can view project files and make new changes. In your workspace, Click on the option to Import Projects from package explorer.
In the Mule Import window, browse to the location of the git repository you just cloned. Make sure that you uncheck the checkbox that says Copy the Project into workspace or you get an error that the project already exists.
As you collaborate with the team of developers to add/Edit files in your Mule Implementation. You will need to make sure that you update(Pull) your local repository of any changes that may have been done at the remote branch. This will ensure that you are not overwriting the changes of other developers and avoid Conflict errors in your Anypoint Studio.
Pull changes in Anypoint Studio: As a best practice, developers are expected to commit unit-tested code changes to the remote repository at the end of day. The following day, all the developers are expected to PULL the changes to their local repository so no file changes are overwritten by other developers.
After you click Synchronize workspace you will find a new perspective that will open up and it will show you the difference between the local and remote versions of the files that have differences.
Congratulations on completing the EGit and Anypoint Studio tutorial. This tutorial was focused on setting up Egit plugin with Anypoint Studio. Next time you refer to a git repo, make sure that you use EGit plugin to import the project in your Anypoint Studio. If you have any feedback on this article, please rate this tutorial below.

The following is a name-spaced list of all the plugins shipped with the mule gradle plugin. As for version 2.0 these plugins are hosted in the gradle plugins site. Prior versions are hosted in the Mulesoft community maven repository.
