- After having installed the plug-in, a new 'GOAL Perspective' is now available. Switch Eclipse to this perspective for the first time through 'Windows -> Open Perspective -> Other -> GOAL'. A shortcut will be placed in the top-right corner.
- We recommend changing the following preferences in Eclipse ('Window > Preferences'):
- General > Workspace > : (1) Refresh using native hooks or polling > Enable (2) Text file encoding > Other: UTF-8.
- Install/Update > Automatic Updates > Automatically find new updates and notify me > Enable.
- Run/Debug > Console > Console buffer size (characters) > Set to 999999 (the maximum).
Please note that if you are having performance issues whilst debugging, e.g. with many agents, the console buffer size can be reduced. The consoles for each agents and/or the action history can even be entirely disabled in the 'GOAL > Logging' preference category, where the logging itself can be fully tweaked as well.
