Why aren't the Subversive plugin options appearing in my Eclipse projects? - eclipse

I’m using the following version of Eclipse on Mac 10.9.5 (actually SpringSource Tool Suite):
Version: 3.7.0.RELEASE
Build Id: 201506290652
Platform: Eclipse Mars (4.5.0)
I’m trying to install the Subversive plugin for use with my Maven projects (using SVN). I downloaded the zip file from their website, Then i created the following directory:
/Applications/STS.app/Contents/Eclipse/dropins/SubVersive/
I unzipped the plugin into this directory. Then I restarted my Eclipse instance. However, upon right clicking on my projects from the Package Explorer, I do not see any options for checkin under “Team”. On a command line, these projects do have “.svn” directories and I can use SVN fine on the command line. What else do I need to do to get Subversive to install?

Why don't you follow this instructions?

Error installing STS plugin in Eclipse Neon.2

I use the following Eclipse Neon.2
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers
Version: Neon.2 Release (4.6.2)
Build id: 20161208-0600
Eclipse path: C:\eclipse-jee-neon
and I tried to install the following Eclipse Plugin (via Marketplace or with drag and install directly from the website)
Spring Tool Suite (STS) for Eclipse 3.8.3.RELEASE
and I receive the following error:
As an alternative I tried the Spring IDE 3.8.3.RELEASE plugin and got exactly the same error.
Any ideas? Thank you in advance.
The problem was that the following two .jar archives were corrupted:
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.jackson-annotations_2.5.0.v201504151636.jar
com.fasterxml.jackson.core.jackson-core_2.5.0.v201504151636.jar
The solution (which worked in my case) was:
Download the two artifacts manually for example from University of Kent UKMirror Service
Replace the two corrupted artifacts in C:\Users\smo.p2\pool\plugins\ with the manually downloaded ones
Reinstall the plugin over the Eclipse Marketplace

Build Netbeans from sources: Can't open the Netbeans sources in Netbeans

I have downloaded the Netbeans sources (v8.1) to make a small change in Netbeans.
So I followed the instructions on that page:
http://wiki.netbeans.org/WorkingWithNetBeansSources
Imported the Netbeans sources with Mercurial: $ hg clone http://hg.netbeans.org/main-silver/. Works.
Build a new fully functional Netbeans Dev Version from the commandline with ant. Works.
According to the instructions I should be able to do that: "The whole source tree has NetBeans project metadata so you can just use NetBeans to develop NetBeans". But that doesn't work.
That's my environment: Netbeans 8.0.2 64Bit, Java 8, Ant 1.9.x, Mercurial 3.6.2. The sources are from 8.1.
As you can see in the screenshot below, the modules (like ant.browsetask or ant.debugger) do have a directory nbproject, but this directory contains only two files: project.properties and project.xml. Shouldn't there be more files? Are these two files sufficient for Netbeans, so it can be recognized as a project?
So how can I open the Netbeans sources in Netbeans?
Ok, I found the solution by myself.
Netbeans needs to have the plugin 'Netbeans Plugin Development' installed. I uninstall it usually, because I don't do that, but now's an exception.

Installing a Plug-in into Eclipse from its source code

There is a plug-in which can actually be found in its dedicated update site and installed from there into eclipse. But for my project, I need the most up-to-date version of this plug-in which can be found it its source code within the GIT repository. So I have downloaded a clone of the source code from the GIT repository into Eclipse. It all looks right, but in the end I need this source code to be compiled and installed as the plug-in into my Eclipse Development IDE (not in a runtime environment!). What are the next steps I need to follow? I would be very glad, if you could hepl me.
Thanks a lot!
The question "Installing an Eclipse Plugin that you've compiled from Source?" mentions two ways:
use the export wizard: File/Export, look for export Deployable plug-ins and fragments, select the compiled plug-in, and then in the lower half of the page select Install into host repository.
Or export your plug-in into a directory, and then copy the directory into the dropins folder.
Check "Eclipse plugin developed under Helios doesn't show in Juno" if you have troubles to make your plugin visible after installation.
You can test a plugin with "Launch an Eclipse application" under "Testing".

Installing eclipse plugins

I need to install eclipse plugin required by Test and Performance Tools Platform (TPTP).
When I downloaded EMF Runtime, I have two directories: one is feature and the other one is plugins.
Then, what is the next step for installing them into eclipse?
My eclipse installation has directories including features/plugins and dropins. Is the plugin installation is just copying the files into feature/plugins directories and restart the eclipse? Or do I need any other step for the installation?
just copy and restart eclipse. if you get problems with eclipse, then start on command line with "eclipse -clean"

Offine installation of PMD plugin for Eclipse IDE

I am trying to download and install PMD plugin for Eclipse offline but did not succeed in doing so.
I downloaded following 2 zips:
net.sourceforge.pmd.eclipse-3.2.6.v200903300643.zip (this version matches with the one which I installed online)
pmd-eclipse-1.8.0
Not sure which one to use and how to configure it in Eclipse.
I searched a lot but did not find proper steps for the offine installation and configuration.
In case it contains site archieve:
Goto Help->Install New Software
Click Add...
In the Add Repository Dialog click Archive and point to your zip. Rest of the installation is as you would do with an online installation.
Else:
Extract the zip
Copy all plugins to your target eclipse plugins folder
Copy all features to your target eclipse features folder
launch eclipse with -clean option
You can get the latest 4.0 version of the plugin by pointing your Eclipse installer here:
