I am the happy user of a Terminal view in my work and home instances of Eclipse Oxygen.2. According to the process manager on my Windows 10 system, the terminal is in this path:
D:\Programs\Eclipse Oxygen\plugins\org.eclipse.cdt.core.win32.x86_64_5.4.1.201709131603\os\win32\x86_64\winpty-agent.exe
Given that I haven't installed the CDT feature, I am guessing that one of my installed features drew this plugin in.
I would like to benefit from direct integration of a terminal in my other Eclipse instances so I can build some of my projects from within Eclipse, instead of switching to a different window.
More generally, is it possible to determine which feature provides a specific plugin? Other than by uninstalling features one by one until the terminal view is no longer available.
EDIT:
These are some tabs in Eclipse Installation Details.
I can see plugins related to the terminal:
But none of these providers can be seen in the Features tab (excerpt, sorted by provider):
It is TM Terminal that provides this feature. This can be installed to eclipse from the market place:

Initial position:
Currently I'm at a customer's site who has completely locked up his system (VM), and through a proxy blocks nearly everything, including the connections to download the extensions of Eclipse.
In the Eclipse marketplace you can find the download links, but they are of no use to me. Since the proxy locks everything out.
If you use the download link, you will get to this page, which ONLY refers to the integration in Eclipse via the web. This is currently not possible for me!
A reference to the M2E version only leads to the page mentioned above.
https://www.eclipse.org/m2e/
The customer only allows Eclipse no other programs.
It is unbelievable ^^
Is there a way to install offline extensions in Eclipse like Visual Studio code?
What I need is a Maven/Java based version, including Jenkins integration.
I currently used a portable version of Eclipse from the points already described. Yes, the download of complete versions is possible and not blocked, just the integration of plugins and extensions.
I use Eclipse IDE for all my project (PHP, Java, C, Python, Android). If I install them all in one edition it will take too long to start and I will have many buttons in my toolbar. Now I have Eclipse edition for each language. I type eclipse when I want to work with Java, eclipse-php for PHP. Is there a way to have just one eclipse edition and let me do this?
You can start Eclipse with the -configuration or osgi.configuration.area argument.
Form The Eclipse runtime options help:
osgi.configuration.area {-configuration}
the configuration location
for this run of the platform. The configuration determines what
plug-ins will run as well as various other system settings. See the
section on locations for more details.
A more detailed explanation how to use this feature is found here: How can I launch different workspaces with different sets of plugins?
The standard/class edition of eclipse still includes JDT, CVS, GIT and various other features.
Is there a way to install it with only 'resource' management/project tools.
Essentially a version of eclipse built without any language or environment in mind.
A lot like an operating system without any programs installed other than what it needs to run itself and provide the means to install programs entirely at the user's discretion.

The eclipse-platform section contains no-frills, just raw eclipse.
try this link (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/moreinfo/custom.php) It should contain what is called a Eclipse Platform Runtime Binaries which is the most minimalist package available.
Same answer I wrote in: Eclipse without plugins for windows
You can download it from here: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/index.html. There you can find 'clean' builds of Eclipse, which do not ship with common development tools.
You still can uninstall the plugins you don't want this way :
Menu > Help > About eclipse SDK > Installation details
Install software tab
Select the plugin you don't want
Uninstall button
Goto https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
Choose a release
e.g. "Latest Release : 4.10" --> https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.10-201812060815/
On this new page choose "Platform Runtime Binary"
It contains the Eclipse Rich Client Platform base bundles and do not contain source or programmer documentation.
I'm sorry for a pretty vague title, didn't want to turn it into a paragraph.
So, I am using Eclipse Platform 3.7.1 (the one with absolutely no plugin preinstalled), the latest version so far, and I have discovered that by taking advantage of its -configuration option, I can choose which plugins are running and which are not. It was going well enough until I started installing the plugins.
But allow me to explain my setup first, I am using Ubuntu linux by the way. Using only one eclipse installation, my installation is arranged in the following order:
Installation:
~/bin/opt/eclipse
eclipse (executable binary)
~/bin/eclipse -> opt/eclipse/eclipse
Configurations:
~/.eclipse/configuration
web-php
android
java
Installing JDT and ADT while running eclipse and using the android configuration directory posed no problems. So I moved on to the php configuration and tried to install PDT (the JDT and ADT plugins were not activated here, so far so good). The problems came along after the installation, not only was I not able to use PDT, I noticed in the Installation Details that JDT, ADT, PDT were installed but not activated. Instead, they were all activated in the android configuration. To make it worse, when I chose the Java configuration, I could not even use JDT.
My expectations however were when using:
eclipse -configuration ~/.eclipse/configuration/android
was that only the JDT and ADT were activated and when using:
eclipse -configuration ~/.eclipse/configuration/web-php
only the PDT is activated
Regarding the java configuration however, it's probably another problem altogether but if there was help on how to activate a plugin installed from another configuration, I'd deeply appreciate it.
Also, see Single Eclipse install with multiple Configurations and Workspaces
In a p2 world there are extra steps to isolate bundles from each other. You need not just a different configuration directory, but a different p2 profile.
Have a look at the config.ihi in each of your configurations. There are two ways that Eclipse identifies the plugins to use, the ..updateconfigurator, which simply uses all of the plugins in the plugins folder, and the ..simpleconfigurator which uses the bundles.info file in that's in the org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator folder (which is maintained by the p2 installer). Make sure this file is what you expect.
And also, you might want to start with the -clean option if you are using the updateconfigurator to have it rescan all of the plugins (otherwise it remembers in some hidden cache).
Make sure when you installed everything that you had your -configuration set to the right place for the different things you installed.
I hope some of this points you in the right direction.
I am in the process of upgrading our development environment at work. One of the features is to get our developers using Eclipse as their IDE. However for security reasons we do not want our developers to be able to install plugins in Eclipse.
Is there a way to install Eclipse such that a regular user will need to obtain admin privileges to install a plugin?
Regrettably I am only familiar with *nix type permissions, and I would have thought windows would be somewhat similar. I believe I have installed Eclipse under C:\Program Files\eclipse with just read/execute permissions, but when a regular user comes along and tries to install a plugin it appears that Eclipse installs it under the user's directory. Is there a way to prevent that?
Basically after the initial installation of Eclipse the developer should NOT be able to install plugins. What's the best way to do this?
Ultimately this will need to work on a WinXP system. But for my home computer I test on a Win7 machine. Hopefully the procedure for the two platforms are the same, but when it comes to MS who knows.
There is no obvious way to prevent plug-in installation on eclipse. Even the eclipse installed under C:\Program Files\ on windows 7, eclipse also allows installing the plug-ins into the user's home directory for each user. It's designed for share install that has same behavior on linux as well.
I'm not sure what's kind of security concerns to make such a decision, one possible way is removing the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.* plug-ins from your eclipse to disable the ui entry of eclipse's install menu.
FYI: the full description of the behaviour you are seeing is described in multi-user installs [1]. If you check out that and the Runtime options available as a link from that page, maybe you can set the osgi.configuration.area system property to something read-only as well.
