I downloaded spring-tool-suite-3.7.3.RELEASE-e4.5.2-win32.zip from the official site https://spring.io/tools/sts/all. After unzipping there is no STS installer.exe
According to the STS installation guide I need this to get STS installed.
I am new to STS, please help me?
Thanks in advance!

The ZIP file of the STS distribution for Windows contains everything you need. There is no installer, you don't need to run an extra install step. Just unpack the ZIP archive (using 7Zip, for example, to avoid issues with too long path names when using the Windows built-in ZIP support), and run the STS.exe (assuming you have a JDK installed already).

I installed Apache Netbeans a couple weeks ago, decided I didn't like it, and am attempting to uninstall it. However, it is not showing up in my Add/Remove Programs on Windows 10, nor can I find an Uninstall exe file in the files of NetBeans. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
You must have installed Apache NetBeans 11.0 by downloading a zip file named incubating-netbeans-11.0-bin.zip, then unzipping it to an installation directory, because that is the only approach that is offered. From the Apache NetBeans web site:
Apache NetBeans 11.0 is available for download from your closest
Apache mirror. For this release no official installers are provided,
please just download the binaries and unzip them.
This explains why you cannot uninstall NetBeans 11.0 from the Control Panel in Windows 10: you did not install it using an installer, you just unzipped a file.
So to uninstall NetBeans 11.0 on Windows 10 all you need to do is this:
Close NetBeans.
Delete the NetBeans installation directory.
Delete the downloaded zip file (if you had kept it).
However, there are a couple of additional optional steps that will free up (a lot of) disk space, and are definitely worth doing:
Before removing/uninstalling NetBeans, open it one last time.
Open the Help > About screen. You will see a couple of entries named User directory and Cache directory. They contain (a lot of) files related to the configuration of NetBeans, and they can and should be deleted as well:
Note the names of those two directories, and then close NetBeans.
Delete those two directories, and then delete the NetBeans installation directory and the downloaded zip file (if necessary).
I am trying to install hadoop plugin for eclipse oxygen ... but am not able to make it work properly.. i am not getting any option to create a map reduce project .. can some one please let me know how to go abt installing the hadoop eclipse plugin ?

Also, copying the plugin at the eclipse/plugin folder doesn't work either ?
Please help!
Copy it to the dropins folder of your Eclipse installation directory.
See also: Eclipse help - The dropins folder and supported file layouts
I want to update my eclipse installation, but keeping my plugins and configurations. Is it possible doing it just replacing the files downloaded with the zip file?
I'm looking to correct some errors and improve performance.
Thanks in advance.
This is not possible, but you can
directly update your existing Eclipse IDE or
install the plug-ins from the old installation into the new installation: File > Import: Install > From Existing Installation
I managed to upgrade it, just using the eclipse installer and installing on the current folder, now I'm testing the new installation to verify if everything is ok.
I use eclipse at work. Our internet is limited so I can't download plugins through eclipse itself. Anybody know a way I can download it at home, then install it from a flash drive or something of that nature? All I can find is info on the github and I have no idea how to use that. Still a noob
Thanks in advance
This should work.
Download the github zip file from here
The dropins directory should be used to install a plugin manually. The typical process is that you download a plugin and extract that archive to the dropins directory.
The plugins directory on the other hand is reserved for Eclipse's updater. You should not mess with it manually. Eclipse will store all plugins you install using "Help"->"Software Updates" or "Help"->"Install new software" (depending on your Eclipse version).
Please, let me know if this works for you.
See the stackoverflow question:
I got my Eclipse (Indigo Service Release 1, Build id: 20110916-0149) installed and running for Android development. Now, I want to consume a WCF WebService (wsdl) in my Android app. As I learnt, this can easily be done using Axis2 plug-in for Eclipse. However, I had hard-time to install the Axis2 plug-in.
I understand there are similar questions already asked, but I couldn't make it work using all the suggestions, and there is no accepted answer either. That's why I created this new questions. It would be nice if somebody can tell which version is working one? or how to make the latest (1.6.1) work?
I do not understand the plug-in installation processs in Eclipse. I see p2 folder in my local drive under Eclipse, so I assume I could just extract the download to dropins folder, right?
#Andreas Veithen
Thanks for your answer buddy. The 1.6.1 version was driving me nuts. I tested it both in a Mac and a Windows machine and the result was the same. It just would not work. I took your advice and got the 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT version and it shows up just fine now.

No matter which version you are looking for, you need to get the Axis2 eclipse codegen plugin.
Here is the link to the page where you can find the 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT version:
https://builds.apache.org/job/axis2-1.6/lastStableBuild/org.apache.axis2$axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin/
Download the axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin-1.6.2-SNAPSHOT.jar at https://builds.apache.org/job/axis2-1.6/lastStableBuild/org.apache.axis2$axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin/artifact/org.apache.axis2/axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin/1.6.2-SNAPSHOT/axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin-1.6.2-SNAPSHOT.jar and drop it in your dropins folder. The latest version of Eclipse should already have a dropins folder after you extract the downloaded archive. You should now see the Axis wizards in Eclipse after restarting.
The above answers were not easily understood so I'm adding this for anyone reading this in the future.
Taken from the Axis2 website:
Download the ZIP file for the plugin you want to install.
Extract the content of the plugins folder in the ZIP archive into the dropins folder (i.e. do not create a plugins folder under dropins).
Ps: Get the 1.6.2 version from this link
The 1.6.1 version has a bug and doesn't work. Use 1.6.0 or 1.6.2-SNAPSHOT (which can be downloaded from here) instead.
All recent versions of Eclipse use p2. You need to put the JAR files into the dropins folder.
