Niagara Home Variable

Introduced in the Niagara Plug-in version 0.0.6, the Niagara Home Variable allows the developer to switch between Niagara AX versions during development. This allows developers to run the Niagara Tools (build and slotomatic), Niagara AX Help, and New Driver/Module wizards for different Niagara AX versions as desired.

There are multiple ways to change the Niagara Home variable:

Note: If you use the Import Existing AX Module wizard to import a module that was previously imported using the Niagara plug-in of version 0.0.5 or earlier, then the dependent/referenced modules for the resulting Eclipse project will likely not contain the Niagara home variable (see above screen shot). To overcome this, before running the wizard, delete the ".project" and ".classpath" files from your module's working directory on the hard drive. See FAQs for more detailed information.
