The Eclipse plugin
Eclipse, being one of the most commonly-used open source
integrated development en-
vironments
(
IDEs
), provides a plugin to work with DynamoDB. In fact it provides a plu-
gin to work with almost the entire AWS. We will now see how to perform DynamoDB op-
erations such as table creation, index creation, items insertion, and query and scan opera-
tions.
First we will begin with setting up the DynamoDB plugin on Eclipse. Open Eclipse and se-
lect
Install New Software
from the
Help
menu.
In the following page, we need to enter
http://aws.amazon.com/eclipse/
and
hit
Enter
; this will display all the available plugins for AWS. You can either install
everything or only the necessary components (it's better to install everything because there
will be dependency between these plugins).
