nWire partnered with Genuitec LLC, the makers of MyEclipse IDE and Pulse, to provide you with the easiest way to install Eclipse and nWire.
Pulse gives Eclipse users the most effective and efficient way to locate, install and maintain multiple Eclipse software profiles (configurations). A free community version is available, as well as more robust team and enterprise solutions (learn more...).
Important: we are still working on adding the new nWire for PHP to the Pulse catalog. Currently, only the nWire for Java is available. We will update in our blog when the catalog is updated.

If you already have a Pulse profile
From the catalog, select Add-on Software → Browse Categories
The nWire entry is found under the Code Exploration category. Select nWire and click Add to Profile... (green plus sign). If you have multiple profiles, select the appropriate profile.
Select the profile, under My Profiles, and select Run....

Installing nWire online from the update site is the recommended installation method. The update manager takes care of installing missing dependencies and updating your software when an update becomes available. If you choose to install nWire manually, these tasks should be performed manually.
Step 1: Download the nWire update site archive
Click here to download a JAR file which contains the entire nWire update site. The size of the file is approximately 16 MB.
Step 2: Install using the Eclipse update manager
Follow the original installation instructions. Instead of using the update site URL use the Archived Site option and select the nWire archive you downloaded.
Step 3: Activate
After Eclipse restarts, select Help → nWire Info...
Click on Activate Trial
In the dialog box, you may enter your contact details. This is optional. Click on Activate.
nWire will attempt to contact the nWire server to activate your product. If the connection fails, nWire will open a dialog box with the activation URL
Copy the activation URL and store it in a text file
Open the activation URL in a web browser: this can be done on any machine connected to the internet and does not have to take place on the same machine
Save the browser result in a text file
In the nWire Info dialog box, click Manual Load
Select the browser resulting text file
Once the activation is complete, restart your Eclipse to start using nWire
