I am trying to install the buildship plugin into Eclipse. As the Eclipse is installed in client's virtual box and has some limitations, the tool is not able to connect to Internet to install the buildship plugin. Even after configuring the proxy settings in Eclipse, its not connecting to Internet.
In order to overcome this issue, I am trying to download the buildship plugin locally and then refer it in Eclipse. But the buildship plugin website does not have a feature to download it standalone.
FYI, I was able to install the plugin in Eclipse in my local machine where there is no issue in connecting with internet.
Your'question is about how do to do an offline installation of eclipse plugins?
Use one of the many solutions listed here to mirror a plugin repo you're interested in. Copy the mirror to the network limited machine, and add the repo directory to eclipse list of update repos via the local button.
You can also copy over your local eclipse directories after you've installed the required plugins.

I need to install Spring Tools 4 Plugin into my Eclipse IDE. The Problem is, that I dont have any Internet access on this machine. My other Plugins like SonarLint, MoreUnit I installed via zip archive available on official sites or github.
Install New Software -> add archive.
I cant find any zip archives for Spring Boot Tools 4. Is there a way to get it or another way to install that plugin offline?
I tried to download and install everything on another machine and copy it, but its forbidden to connect bigger usb drives to the machine. For the plugin itsef it will be ok.
Here is the archived update site for STS 4.4.2 for Eclipse 2019-09:
https://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/sts4/update/4.4.2.RELEASE/e4.13/sts4-4.4.2.RELEASE-e4.13.0-updatesite.zip
It contains all the STS4 pieces and a bunch of additional plugins from Eclipse, we haven't really tested a full offline installation using purely this update site. Usually the install procedure contains other update sites while installing a feature in order to find missing dependencies. So in case you don't have internet access and the STS4 install requires a dependency that usually comes from the main Eclipse p2 repo, you might run into this. In that case, please open a bug at https://github.com/spring-projects/sts4/issues and we will fix that.
Hope this helps!
Following is the directory structure of plugin I want to install in eclipse.
Eclipse version: photon.
Organization I work at has restricted access to http sites. Only https is accessible. So I cannot install plugins from eclipse marketplace. I have a zip of Subversive SVN connector and this is the only way it can be done I think.
I was able to install Subversive using install software but unable to do so with Suversive connector.
Is it possible to install Subversive connector using dropins directory of eclipse?
Solved.
Found this site for SVN connector and installed it from there.

I am currently working on installing sonar into eclipse. The machienes I am installing them on, however, run on a private server. I cannot install from the eclipse marketplace. I was wondering how I can get the proper files needed to install the plug-in?
Same answer I gave on the Eclipse forums:
One option for installing on machines without Internet access would be if the Sonar plugin developers provide an Update Site Archive (which can be used from Eclipse's Install New Software wizard). Looking at their instructions it doesn't look like they do, but maybe you could reach out to them and ask for it. Producing an archive isn't much trouble if they're already publishing an update site (which it appears they are).
Another option exists, if you have at least one machine on that network that can install the plugin: share that machine's Eclipse installation folder on the network so other machines can see it, then use File > Import > Install > From Existing Installation to select the shared Eclipse folder where Sonar is installed.
Ticket created to provide a zipped update site for next version:
http://jira.sonarsource.com/browse/SONARCLIPS-448
I've created an eclipse plugin on my local host, which works ok.
Now I've to deploy the plugin (.jar) file to some complex unix based environment which has dozens of eclipse installations.
I need to have the plugin only in one of the eclipse instances.
I tried to find all plugin/features/droping directories in system and copy to each of them my plugin. But still I cannot see it in eclipse.
I tried to
Install New Software and Add a local archive but eclipse failed with "no repository found"
Questions :
How can I install the jar file plugin from GUI ?
If its not possible, how can I figure out where is the correct
location of plugin directory from inside eclipse GUI ?
Otherwise how can I see if the eclipse is trying to load the .jar
plugin at all ? (Probably some of the dependencies are failing...)
When you tried
Install New Software and Add a local archive but eclipse failed with "no repository found"
Did you provide the plug-in .jar directly or an update site ?
You should create an update site for it to work.

(The drop-in solution is not reliable.)
I can't connect Eclipse to internet because of security issues in my work, i want to find a way to download the Glassfish Eclipse Plugin manually (Without using the Eclipse Market Place or Eclipse Install Wizard) and install it separately ...
I made many searches and all i found is how to install the Glassfish Eclipse Plugin using the download Link from Eclipse Plugin Installer ...
PS : Glassfish Server is already installed in my Laptop i just need the Eclipse Plugin.
From where can i download the Plugin ?
And how can i install it ?
GlassFish Tools is part of Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse, which is offered in a number of different download formats, such as a ready-to-run Eclipse install and a downloadable repository. Either of these options is a good choice for users with connection problems. If you already have Eclipse installed, download the offline repository (may be called 'OEPE plugins only' on the download site). Then use the install plugins wizard, but point at the downloaded zip instead of a public URL. Make sure to uncheck the consult other repositories option to keep Eclipse from wandering to the network unnecessary.
