The goal of this extension is to simplify the work of RapidMiner extension developers by establishing a connection between the executed RapidMiner and the IDE eclipse.

The tool consists of two components:

1. A RapidMiner extension that handles requests from the IDE (Eclipse) to redeploy changed RapidMiner extensions. It also can send requests to the IDE to open the source code of a selected operator.
Note: In order for the connection to be established to the IDE, the system property RMD_STARTUP_IDE_CONNECTION must be set to true on Studio startup.

2. An Eclipse plug-in that automatically searches for RapidMiner extensions in the workspace. Upon user request the extensions are built and redeployed in RapidMiner. They can also be loaded from the help menu of RapidMiner.
