Copy it to the dropins folder of your Eclipse installation directory.

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 tried to install PigPen using the directions here:
http://wiki.apache.org/pig/PigPen
But despite rebooting Eclipse, it doesn't seem to recognize that I put a new jar in the plugins folder.
There is dropins folder on the same level with plugins folder. Eclipse by default configured to pick up new plugins from it.
I tried various versions of Eclipse with plugins downloaded from internet but I always have problem. With latest version of eclipse and the plugin developed for Hadoop2X, I could not open the Hadoop location configuration wizard. I reinstalled eclipse with older version Ganymede. I used the plugin the one for this version, I am able to open the wizard for Hadoop location configuration but when I try to create the project, I have given the hadoop installation direction, even then it shows the error as configure Hadoop installation directory and its not letting me move to the next section of wizard.
So can someone suggest me what version of eclipse should I use and where can I download the suitable plugin. I am using Hadoop2.5.1.
Thank You. Please help me for the same.
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:
We have a custom plug-in. That is, the company where I'm working developed it in house.
I would like to install it as an available plug-in in Eclipse Ganymede. How do I do that?
From what I can figure out, the Eclipse software install only supports installation from Eclipse software update sites.
I went to Help -> Install New Software... -> Add -> Local...
to browse to a folder containing the plug-in. Although the dialog lets me add the directory as an update site, it doesn't work. It expects that directory to be a local Eclipse update site (I think). I get the error
No repository found at file:/G:/TOOLS/...
Next I just copied the plug-in into the plug-in directory under my Eclipse installation. That didn't work either. I also tried copying it into the dropins directory. No dice.
Can anyone enlighten me how to install a plug-in that's not on an "update" site?
Thanks in advance....
Usually an Eclipse plug-in packaged as zip file is install by extracting it into the Eclipse installation directory (or the plugins directory depending on how it is packaged, as it can also extract files in features directory).
Next restart Eclipse with the --clean option.
Did you check the Eclipse error log? Maybe the bundle is failing to deploy for some reason.
Otherwise, create a Feature and Update Site for your plugin as described here. An update site can either be a remote http server (SVN even), or a local directory. The nice thing is that you'll get versioning and the ability to upgrade and uninstall from inside Eclipse. It also makes things easier once your plugin grows into several plugins because they can be bundled together into a single, versioned feature.
