.jar plugin for Eclipse not being loaded

I am trying to install FatJar plugin in Eclipse, but it is not showing up. I am doing everything as explained in the documentation, extracted the .jar file in plugins directory, then started command prompt inside Eclipse folder with "eclipse -clean", and it doesn't show up...
Anyone know how can I check if the plugin is being noticed at all?
This plugin is very old and is using the old style plugin format which is not supported by default by current versions of Eclipse.
As mentioned in the documentation most (probably all) of the features provided by this plugin are now part of Eclipse as standard (see 'File > Export > Java > Runnable JAR file')

Installing Apache Felix Webconsole

Trying to install the Felix Webconsole to help with OSGi development using
the tutorial here: http://industrial-tsi-wim.blogspot.com/2012/12/running-apache-felix-webconsole-from.html
Downloaded the org.apache.felix.webconsole-4.2.0.jar and placed it in my /dropins directory.
Installed Apache Commons IO (version 1.4.0), Apache Commons FileUpload and JSON Implementation for Java through the Install New Software menu.
Started jetty through the console.
Use console command "ss webconsole", the console returns an empty list.
I also tried the three solutions given at Installing a plain plugin jar in Eclipse 3.5 since it looked like a similar problem.
Putting the .jar in a "plugins" folder in dropins does nothing, as does putting it in the plugins directory.
Trying to install through Help > Install New Software... > Add.. > Archive and selecting the downloaded .jar, gives the error "No software site found at file location"
I can install the .jar using "install download URL". This installs the bundle and let's me start it, but I'd like a way to have it install locally, and start automatically, or in a more "push button" way than having to mess with the console.
After getting webconsole manually installed and started, when I try navigating to "localhost:8888/services/console" (Jetty is configured to use port 8888) I get a 404 page saying
"Problem accessing /service/console. Reason: ProxyServlet: /service/console"

Install a plugin in a complex unix environment

I've created an eclipse plugin on my local host, which works ok.
Now I've to deploy the plugin (.jar) file to some complex unix based environment which has dozens of eclipse installations.
I need to have the plugin only in one of the eclipse instances.
I tried to find all plugin/features/droping directories in system and copy to each of them my plugin. But still I cannot see it in eclipse.
I tried to
Install New Software and Add a local archive but eclipse failed with "no repository found"
Questions :
How can I install the jar file plugin from GUI ?
If its not possible, how can I figure out where is the correct
location of plugin directory from inside eclipse GUI ?
Otherwise how can I see if the eclipse is trying to load the .jar
plugin at all ? (Probably some of the dependencies are failing...)
When you tried
Install New Software and Add a local archive but eclipse failed with "no repository found"
Did you provide the plug-in .jar directly or an update site ?
You should create an update site for it to work.
See http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipsePlugIn/article.html#p2deployplugin
(The drop-in solution is not reliable.)

Eclipse : Getting Error as Could not find jar file while installing Plugin in Eclipse

I was following this below website
http://visualvm.java.net/eclipse-launcher.html
for installing VisualVM into Eclipse Helios Version 3.6 , for this as mentioned i downloaded visualvm_launcher_u1_eclipse_36
and also under in Eclipse Menu Window --->Preferences ---> Installed JRE ---> Pointed JDK Path in JRE Settings
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_27
But when i tried to install this VisualVM into Eclipse by
Eclipse Menu ---> Install New Software --->Add -- >Archive option
i am getting the below exception
Could not find jar file:file:/D:/VisualVM/visualvm_launcher_u1_eclipse_36.zip!/
Please see the image related to the Exception .
This is what I did to get it installed.
downloaded and unzipped to C:/visualvm_launcher_u1_eclipse_36/
Eclipse Window --->Preferences ---> Available Software Sites --> Add
(Name: VisualVM;
Location: file:/C:/visualvm_launcher_u1_eclipse_36/)
Eclipse Help ---> Install New Software ---> Select VisualVM from drop-down menu ---> Expand Uncategorized ---> Select VisualVM Launcher Feature ---> Next
It looks like you are not following the steps for installation. You should:
unzip visualvm_launcher_u1_eclipse_36.zip into directory of your choice
add local update site pointing to the chosen directory
install VisualVM Launcher Feature
The file itself may be corrupt that you are trying to add as an archive. Examine the root level of the file and make sure the correct components are there. Right now, I am trying to install EPIC in such a way. What I see in the zip file at the root level are:
features (folder)
plugins (folder)
README.txt (file)
site.xml (file)
For anybody else stumbling upon this question and having the same problems:
handshake failure when using Eclipse marketplace/Update site
You tried JRE unlimited policy workaround and it doesn't work
manual installation of plugins also doesn't work
I have downloaded clean eclipse zip, started it and downloaded the plugin that I wanted (Enhanced Class Decompiler), and then opened the targeted Eclipse installation (actually an IDE called Intershop Studio) and used File -> Import -> Installation -> From Existing Installation to import plugins.
So this solution is applicable if problems are not caused by system configuration or if you already have plugins installed on another Eclipse installation.

JCDE plugins in Eclipse doesn`t work ,java card

I copy the eclipse-jcde-0.2 into eclipse'plugin folder ,but the plugins in eclipse doesn't work, Do I still lack of something necessary such as FEATURES folder and how can I get the features ?
OS:windows
Eclipse version :3.2.
It is working fine for me.
I have followed exact instructions from the link eclipse-jcde
Only changes I have did is I have used Eclipse 3.5 instead of eclipse 3.2
For Installation in Eclipse 3.5 follow the below steps.
After downloading Eclipse 3.5, inside eclipse folder create plugins folder (if already not present.)
Paste all the jar files from the downloaded zip file (eclipse-jcde-0.2.zip\plugins folder) to plugins folder (there are 8 jars)
Start the eclipse in -clean mode.
To Start eclipse in clean mode : On the eclipse folder right click and open command prompt, then issue the command eclipse -clean.
Now follow the instruction to set the path for java-card-dev-kit-home as mentioned in the above link.
I am able to create java card project and applet and even start the JCWDE simulator as well.
