Eclipse Oxygen | Installed Drools plugin doesn't show in perspective - eclipse

I have installed Eclipse Oxygen . I tried installing Drools 7.3.0 in my eclipse.
When i try to install i get below scenario.
Prior to this i had installed and used drools in Eclipse Luna.
I checked the installed software tab in the below path:
Help-->About Eclipse-->Installation Details
I can see the Drools plugins installed . Sharing the image from my eclipse.
When i checked on goole , i saw the similar problem mentioned here. I checked and tried the options mentioned to no use. I cannot run it as admin , however i have all rights for the folder in which it is installed.I cannot see Drools in the perspective as a result of which i cannot create a Drools project.
Is it because of any bug in Oxygen which i am unaware of ? Or am i a missing a thing.
I have Java 8 on my system.

This doesn't look as if you have the plugins installed.
You have to download the zip file from drools.org/download/download.htmlgiven under the heading Drools and jBPM tools. This expands into a directory droolsjbpm-tools-distribution-x.y.z.Final with a subdirectory ./binaries//org.drools.updatesite. Follow the instructions in ./ReadMeDroolsJbpmTools.txt. This should install 7 plugins
org.drools.eclipse
org.guvnor.eclipse.webdav
org.guvnor.tools
org.jboss.tools.runtime.drools.detector
org.jbpm.eclipse
org.kie.eclipse
org.kie.eclipse.navigator

WTP for eclipse Galileo

I installed fedora 12 in my machine and got Eclipse installed as a pert of the fedora installation. But i am not getting the dynamic Web Project option since I don't have WTP installed in my eclipse. I am not able to find the exact link/package for my Galileo version. This is what i checked:
http://www.eclipse.org/galileo/projects.php
For the above link, I selected the WTP Common Tools download link, it redirected me to this link:
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/
From the above link, i selected the build release 3.4.0, then i got this:
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.4.0/R-3.4.0-20120612174739/
From here i am fairly confused what to download for getting the WTP enabled for my eclipse.
Note: I don't want any additional package to be installed unnecessarily. All i want is only WTP
Please provide me the exact link for the same so that i can proceed with it.

Installing Drools Planner in Eclipse

I am almost a newbie in Java technologies (exluding programming foundation at school). But I am interested in NP problems and I want to have a look into Drools Planner.
So I am trying to install Drool Planner following this tutorial.
Steps:
installing Eclipse (at least 3.4.*): done, version: 3.4.2 already installed in
my computer (Windows XP PRO, ok, it's my old good donkey).
installing GEF: done
installing Drools plugins: FAILED.
I have downloaded and unzipped the archive into my Eclipse root directory. The tutorial states that restarting Eclipse after unzipping the archive in the proper directory should have enabled Drools Perspective.
But no Drools perspective is available.
Where am I wrong?
That's the Drools Expert documentation.
Instead, follow this section of the Drools Planner documentation. That section and the following section 1.4.2. Run the examples in an IDE (IntelliJ, Eclipse, NetBeans) should have you running a Drools Planner example in Eclipse in no time.
Installing the drools-eclipse-plugin is completely optional, although it's handy to have code completion when editing DRL files. Either way, focus first on get the examples running.
In newer versions of Eclipse (>= Indigo) and Drools (>= 5.5) both tutorials don't work. Wether installing Drools by update-site nor by Eclipse Marketplace nor by extracting downloaded zip file.
The only solution that worked for me:
First steps like stated in tutorials
1. Installing GEF using "install new software"
2. Installing Drools packages using "install new software"
Now no Drools features appear in eclipse. Thus:
Close Eclipse and restart with parameter "-console"
Type "install http://download.jboss.org/drools/release/5.5.0.Final/org.drools.updatesite/plugins/org.drools.eclipse_5.5.0.Final.jar"
(On newer versions change url properly)
--> Eclipse will give you a bundle id
Type "start [bundle id]"
Eventually I followed the instructions in ReadMeDroolsJbpmTools.txt included in the droolsjbpm-tools-distribution-5.4.0.Final.zip archive:
Open Eclipse.
Open the menu "Help", menu item "Install new software..."
Click on the button "Add..." to add a new software site.
Fill in the name "drools local update site"
Click on the button "Local..." and select ".../binaries/org.drools.updatesite"
Select all the plugins. Click the buttons "Next" and "Finish".
Now I succeed in opening Drool Perspective.

Freemarker Eclipse Plug-In

How can I install Freemarker Plug-In in eclipse?
I googled it and found this site
https://sites.google.com/site/hcao2008site/development/leareclipse/install-freemarker-plugin-in-eclipse
but it did not work for me. The URL "http://www.freemarker.org/eclipse/update" as it has mentioned in #3 does not exist. Then I tried the URL "http://www.freemarker.org/eclipse/" then it worked but after installation, I added *.ftl as file types inside
Windows -> Preference -> General -> Editors -> FIle Associations but I could not find the Freemarker editor inside "Associated editors".
I am using Eclipse of Version: Indigo Service Release 1 in windows 7.
Any suggestions please???
You could try the JBoss Tools plugins available from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/indigo/, they contain the "FreeMarker IDE" which provides a nice freemarker editor.
I didn't find a screenshot of the editor right now, so I will show you how it looks like in my installation (Indigo on Ubuntu 11.10), so that you can decide if this is what you want:
I have installed the freemarker just now, here is the screenshot for it, you can just check it
You can install it, from an update site - http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/helios/
For installing, open eclipse, than go to Help > Install New Software >> add the above update site url, From the many installations available from that update site, you can just install the editor, you can just install the ‘FreeMarker IDE’ from All JBoss Tools menu. See below screenshot for help.
Jeewan#Feb 21 '12 at 21:38, you are missing the “freemarker” suffix in your link. The complete url is http://www.freemarker.org/eclipse/freemarker/ . It works for me on Eclipse Juno, OS Linux Ubuntu 12.04. #Jason#Sep 28 '12 at 6:59, I don’t understand your answer to mention the solution make more sense.
I found detailed instructions under http://freemarker.org/editors.html in the first table row ("Eclipse", "Part of the JBoss Tools Project. Install like this"). Although I restarted Eclipse as recommended, it was also necessary to reopen each file for the syntax coloring to take effect.
Since July 2016 also published on Eclipse marketplace as separate entry

This is quick way to install FreeMarker IDE plugin from JBoss Tools
http://tools.jboss.org/.
Sources are at https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-freemarker
Issue tracker is JBoss Tools JIRA
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE (specify component freemarker)
As recommended on http://freemarker.org/editors.html nightly version
is used for Neon.
For Eclipse Oxygen / Photon:
The Freemarker Plugin from JBoss Tools was deprecated in the new release for Oxygen, see changelog for JBoss Tools 4.5.0:
https://tools.jboss.org/documentation/whatsnew/jbosstools/4.5.0.AM2.html#freemarker
So I use JBoss Tools 4.4.4 instead (which was for Neon, but seems to work fine with Oxygen):
https://tools.jboss.org/downloads/jbosstools/neon/4.4.4.Final.html#update_site
Installation:
Help > Install New Software > Add http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/neon/stable/updates/ > Expand JBoss Application Development > Freemarker IDE

Java Hibernate plugin link for Eclipse Helios

I want to have Hibernate Tool to be used in Eclipse. Can anyone give some proper link for the same. I used the following link. It gives an exe file but it is corrupted :
http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=131065&filename=easy-jboss-hibernate-tools-3.2.0.beta9.exe
I suggest you install using the the Eclipse built-in update/ install manager which can be accessed by clicking Help---> Install New Software .It is the most easiest way to install eclipse plugin IMO.
Hibernate Tool is one of the tools from the JBoss Tools plugin , you can choose to only install Hibernate Tool when installing the JBoss Tools plugin.
From the JBoss Tools Website:
To install via update site, simply right-click the link below from
which you'd like to install, copy the link, and paste it into
Eclipse's Update or Install Manager. See Installing JBoss Tools for
more information.
Check the most updated links for different eclipse version from the above link and refer to this guide for the installation instructions.

Eclipse Java EE - Galileo - Unable to view plugins

I am new to Eclipse so I am having a hard time troubleshooting this problem. I have a new installation of Eclipse Java EE - Galileo on Windows, and I am unable to see any changes made in the IDE after installing plugins. I have verified that the plugins are installed via installation details, but see no changes made.
For example, after installing the maven integration plugin m2eclipse I go to File->New->Project ... and I have no option for maven. After installing the QuickRex plugin I have no view for it etc.
I have tried re-installing the plugins, re-installing Eclipse, and starting Eclipse with the -clean option, but nothing has resolved the issue.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Ok. This is just a wild guess but could you start over with a fresh install and make sure that you uncheck the option Contact all update sites during install to find required software as shown below:

I faced a similar problem (on another platform than yours), some updates were "disabling" all my plugins. Not checking this option allowed me to work around this issue.
Follow-up: You'll need to install that Zest stuff manually from the GEF update site:
