I am trying to automate code for adding plugins in eclipse IDE. Are there any ways to do it?
normally we use eclipse marketplace/install software to add our plugins. How to write automate code to do this for eclipse ide the same way?
Any script /java code to automate?
i need example code for automate plugin install for testng in eclipse ide

I have imported a groovy project in my eclipse and I have installed the groovy plugins in my eclipse too. now, I want to build my project(which is a groovy-gradle plugin) in eclipse and use it further. I have gone through a link http://www.selikoff.net/2013/01/11/creating-a-groovy-project-with-gradle-in-eclipse/ but I don't understand how to build my project. I don't get build option.
Install the gradle plugins.
Some tasks will be available in the tasks Window.
Right click on build task and run it.
I am currently working on eclipse plug-in that involves many modules, and I would like to debug and run this eclipse plug-in from IntelliJ.I open this project in IntelliJ to edit code but when I have to run/debug this project I have to open eclipse IDE and start it from there. How can I use IntelliJ to do this?
I haven't actually tried this ... but you could try launching the RCP application stand alone but with the remote debug parameters specified for in your application's .ini file.
Then just point IntelliJ to the appropriate source and attach it's debugger to the running app.
Why do you want to do that? Eclipse has multiple tools for the plugin development that you will miss in IntelliJ. Also you need to build your plugin as product headless and then attach a debugger to it.
In my opinion it doesn't worth the effort. I would install Eclipse and devolop with eclipse.
How do I build and install an Eclipse plugin using ant? I want to build a plugin as a zip file and then install the plugin on 32bit or 64bit eclipse. What am I supposed to do here?
Indeed, using PDE/Build to achieve a so-called headless build is difficult, but not impossible.
We are still building our RCP this way.
I recommend reading Paulin's and Sharma's tutorials on the issue.
The Eclipse PDE has its own builder which is built on ant. I'm not sure from your question if you are looking to simply build/export your plugin within eclipse or generate ant build scripts that can be run outside of eclipse. The latter is more difficult. Inside eclipse you can simple go to file -> export -> Plugin-Development -> Deployable plugin and the export wizard will walk you through it, you can select to deploy a zip or exploded directory and then select output location and presto you have your plugin built as a jar that can be dropped into an eclipse instance. If you are looking to use ant outside of eclipse to build you need to go through a series of steps that are complicated to get a 'headless build", if this is what you need to do Google "pde headless" build. I've tried it but gave up. There is also a good book "Building highly modular systems with OSGI/Equinox that has a chapter devoted to this. - Duncan
I've created my DSL language and code generator using Xtext nad Xtend. But when I want to use it, I need to open my Xtext project and click "Run as-> Launch Runtime Eclipse". Is it possible to have my editor/generator in the normal eclipse run? In other words, I want to download plain eclipse installation,than install some plugin or somehow configure my eclipse, and than create files of my language, have syntax coloring and all editor features, code generation etc.
You have to export your plugins and install them into eclipse.
option 1: use File>Export...>Deployable plugins and fragments to export your plugins, then install them into an eclipse. That wizard has an option to deploy them directly into your running eclipse.
option 2: build your plugins using PDE build or maven/tycho and create a p2 update site. Then you can install them into any eclipse you have.
Both options are easier to manage if you create a feature that contains your plugins. It's easier to export, and easier to install the feature.
We are using Salesforce.com with a large number of sandboxes. We currently using Eclipse with the Force.com plugin for deployment.
Problem
I can deploy using the Ant in the CLI mode - however, it would be great if we can add Ant to Eclipse so that we can have an integrated UI for both.
I would appreciate if anyone who has done this before can provide some pointers. Here is what I have installed on my PC: Win7, Ant, Eclipse, Force.com IDE plugin, SubClipse plugin
There is no real integration between the Force.com IDE for Eclipse and the Force.com Migration Tool for ANT, but you can run ANT scripts from Eclipse itself through the External Tools Configurations. This will not doing anything that you can not just do on the CLI (e.g. it will not automatically create your ANT targets or anything), but if you already have your build.xml setup, it will create a menu item in Eclipse so you can execute it from within the IDE with the click of a button. See Running Ant Buildfiles in Eclipse help for how to do this. Since your build.xml may not be inside your Force.com project, you can always go to Run | External Tools | External Tools Configuration | Ant Build to choose ant build file.
