To open plugins in your Eclipse projects, you import them into the project from their location on your hard drive or an Eclipse platform. Click the "File" menu and select "Import. This will contain the MyEclipse executable and all eclipse and MyEclipse plug-ins, with related folders. Some other files and folders will be created in default locations though some can't be changed. How to use it: Edit the eclipse. Or edit the shortcut you use to start Eclipse and add -clean as the first argument.
Or create a batch or shell script that calls the Eclipse executable with the -clean argument. The various versions are: Eclipse 4.
Open eclipse. Go to Options in Menus. After that click uninstall. However, if the plugins are installed using dropins folder, then just delete the dropins folder and restart the Eclipse. Installing SonarLint plugin using drag and drop option in Eclipse Marketplace. Click Installation Details. Go to the Configuration tab. Find "eclipse. PATH is where eclipse is installed. The Preferences dialog opens. Click Team, then select.
Click Restore Defaults and then click OK. The selected preferences settings are restored to their default settings. You can change the location of the workspace in Eclipse by using the 'File' menu and then clicking on the 'Switch Workspace' option. Note: If you delete your workspace folder you will also delete projects located inside this folder. If you wish to preserve your projects only delete the '.
In other words, new plug-ins installed via the dropins folder behave exactly like plug-ins installed via the user interface. You can just drop the plugin jar in the dropins folder.
You can also drop in the traditional Eclipse application or extension layout directly in the dropins folder. You can add an additional layer of folders immediately below the dropins folder that contain traditional Eclipse extensions. Or you can add link files as in the Eclipse links folder. Hope this post was useful, if you had any problems using this approach, do leave a comment with the problem description. Thanks to Bryan Solan for the Dropins reference. Hornburg, yes it might be faster by adding extension location.
But if the scenario is working between multiple versions of eclipse and multiple versions of plugin, then u can easily move around the plugins. A visitor pointed me to this article which explains this concept. FYI, i am one of the maintainers of an eclipse distros called EasyEclipse which install all its plugins like that.
Philippe, checked EasyEclipse Pretty nice.. Bhaskar, thatz an interesting question! I have not used eclipse on unix environment, if it works it will be great.
Can u check it and let me know! Thanks Bhaskar, for checking on that.. It might not be an easier way to install eclipse plugins, but for sure it is a better way to install and maintain eclipse plugins. Different configurations may have different sets of plugins, including different versions of the same plugin that would conflict if installed in the same configuration. For such case, I believe the only way to go is to use extension locations, because links are shared between configurations and extension locations are not.
Nevertheless, I have several plugins shared among all the configurations I use, so links-based approach will simplify the process of management of such shared plugins.
Hi Roman, I have read about the -configuration argument, however I have never found out a way to use it properly. How is that argument used? I repeat the procedure with another directory when I need a different set of plugins. Has this links folder and links file technique been used successfully by anyone on any of the Rational version 7 line of products? How do I uninstall it? This looks ideal for me as I want to try several plugins before deciding which ones to use.
Unfortunately it seems to work some of the time but not all of the time. Should it or does it work some other way? Also wnted to use XML Buddy but it did not seem to have the right directories when I unzip the distro.
Hi Kevin, I have loaded lots of plugins using this approach and none have failed. Even if they have, its because of my mistake in not conforming to the folder layout. Some of the places where you might make a mistake 1. Directory structure not in proper format. If both of these are fine, then your plugin might not be loading because of some missing dependent plugins. Start eclipse with a -clean option and check Error Log View in Eclipse. You should find logs if any plugin is not loaded properly.
But in RAD 6. Can anyone verify this? Kindly tell me how to solve this problem, as i have to run the metrics plugin in RAD 6. I found this link with alternate methods, when I was trying to get this to work on those products:. Yes, it does.
Put your. Tam I didnt understand this part of your comment. I have decided that it is probably that it was built for Eclipse 3. I guess I have to wait for a new version. Kevin, I tried to test it out, but seems like its acquired by Adobe and requires some login to download. It will report if the plugin failed to load and also the reason like some API mismtach or dependent plugin missing etc. Hi, Does anyone know how to install eclipse v3.
Currently it uses eclipse v3. Hi i have a question… the Tail plugin for Eclipse version 0. Sorry for my english. Bye bye. It installed fine with the update manager. What I did notice was that when installing with the update manager I had to agree to license conditions before installation.
Could the lack of license agreement be what the link method is getting blocked by without reporting an error? Tavo, The Tail Plugin is very old and was last updated on Nov 18 Probably the plugin api no longer works with Eclipse 3. The view shows details on plug-in load failures. Meanwhile check on this post for an alternative way of Tailing Log files on Windows.
Steve, The license page in the update wizard pops up for every plugin installed via the update mechanism. As mentioned in the post, one thing to note is the folder hierarchy. For E. MF file, the content xml file, and the plugin xml file. Restarted Eclipse. No errors messages were encountered on startup and nothing was logged in error log file. Tried all combinations of the above files. Just the jar file, just the files themselves, and all files.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance. Venukb, Bingo!! I feel like Uncle Eddie in Christmas Vacation. Here is what worked. The world was right again. I wanted to locate where I had problems with the original directions. I think it was with step 3 in the original article. Well what was copied and, really, where was it copied? Your reply made a difference.
I was ready to throw in the towel. Thanks again, Jim. I did re-read the post again. If you notice, I do mention WTP package and its hierarchy before staring with the steps. Irrespective of this, I will definitely change point 3; I myself was confused a little bit by the ordering. How do the feature loading methods update,. When I try to add subclipse 1. Do we have to create it by ourselves?
Hi, Thank you for your article. Thank you very much. Interestingly, I discovered in the Eclipse 3. I am unable to install for some reason. I was trying to install Hibernate Tools.
Am I missing something here. I have eclipse 3. Do I have install something more or am I missing something here?? About the JSEclipse plug-in I tried the method described here to load it from a third party plug-ins folder and the first time the plug-in loaded just fine.
What I did next was enable it and restarted the workbech once again to what it was disabled again. I repeated the process but instead of restarting the workbench I just applied the changes without any restart and the plug-in is working just fine.
Any ideas why this happens? Does JSEclipse conflicts with any other feature? Hope this might help a bit. Nice article by the way. Very good way and it worked with me well. But what if I copied whole the eclipse root directory to another location by a flash memory or shared it on a network I guess that we have to: 1. All plug-ins must be copied 2. Strings 0f the corresponding link files in the link folder must be changed according to the corresponding plug-in new position.
Am I right? Octavius, Apologies for the late reply. Regarding JSEclipse even Kevin also had a similar trouble. I am out of touch with eclipse from some time, but for some reason, eclipse could not find the feature.
I extracted the contents and deleted the archive and restarted eclipse, seemed to work fine! Mohammad, Even if you move the entire eclipse directory, there is nothing to be done since the links point to the same external directories. Note that you should ideally keep the extension folders out of Eclipse directory! If you do rename or move the link folders themselves, as you have pointed out you need to update the string.
Link concept works fine for me on Mandriva 8. So you can use environmental variables. Anyway, thanks for the info.. I have walked through your steps first. When the installation process completes, restart Eclipse.
