ATG have released an Eclipse integration plugin. The plugin is available for the latest release of Eclipse 2.1. Here is the information form ATG site.

ATG's plug-in for the open source Eclipse Platform (http://www.eclipse.org) enables you to quickly create ATG modules and skeleton J2EE applications using an Eclipse-based IDE. The plug-in adds four ATG wizards to your Eclipse Workbench:

• The ATG Module Project wizard creates a new Java project and sets up the required directory structure and configuration files for an ATG application module, J2EE application and web application.
• The ATG J2EE Application wizard creates a basic J2EE application and web application within an existing ATG module project.
• The ATG Web Application wizard creates a basic web application within an existing J2EE application.
• The ATG Standalone Web Application wizard creates a basic web application that is not part of a J2EE application.

ATG's plug-in was developed using Eclipse 2.1

Installing the Plug-in

Use the Eclipse Update Manager to install the ATG Eclipse Integration plug-in:

1. Open the Eclipse Workbench and select Help > Software Updates > Update Manager.
2. Right-click in the Feature Updates view and select New > Site Bookmark from the pop-up menu.
3. In the New Site Bookmark dialog box, enter ATG in the Name field and http://www.atg.com/eclipse in the URL field. The Update Manager adds an ATG bookmark to the Feature Updates view.
4. Expand the ATG bookmark and click on the plug-in you want to install.
5. Click Install Now in the Preview view and follow the remaining prompts. The new plug-in is installed in the following location:
