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.

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

I have created an Eclipse plugin. After installation it adds plugin jars ui and core in the plugins folder of Eclipse. But when I uninstall that plugin from the "About Eclipse" dialog it does not delete those jars from Eclipse plugin folder.
And when I try to install new version of the plugin it does not overwrite the old jars.
I don't want to remove it manually every time. How can I make those jars be removed from the plugins folder of Eclipse after uninstallation?
I've had issues w/uninstalling some plugins due to the fact that sometimes they are tightly integrated with each other. Try this method. It worked for me. Write down the plugins you DO want and then simply wipe out all of Eclipse directory and reinstall. As an additional step, I delete any .metadata files in each project in the workspace and then simply reimport them after the install.
I downloaded the eclipse language pack from the following site:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/babel/babel_language_packs/R0.10.1/indigo/indigo.php
I put the downloaded plugins in the plugin folder of my eclipse installation.
My question: How do I use these plugins with my eclipse RCP application now?
I seem to be unable to add them to my application because I can select them no where. I also tried to drop them into the plugin folder of my RCP application after I exported the application and adding the plugin names to the config.ini but I had no success.
I'd appreciate any help on this topic since I'm stuck :(
Since 3.6 or so, Eclipse doesn't try to find additional plugins in the plugins folder; it will only consider what has been installed with p2 (i.e. via the "Install New Software" menu or the marketplace).
There should be a dropins folder next to the plugins folder; put the language packs in there and Eclipse should automatically pick them up.
See the documentation for details.
How do I uninstall Apache Geronimo Adapter Eclipse Plugin?
Look the prints of my Eclipse. I've tried deleting some IBM jars from plugin folder but without success.
Using Eclipse plugin form, I can't find the Geronimo Adapter plugin to remove too.
The Images:
You should find it on the Features or at least Plug-ins tab in the Installation details-Dialog.
What seemed to work for me was:
Remove all JARs named org.apache.geronimo.* from the eclipse/plugins dir.
Remove all subdirs named org.apache.geronimo.* from the same dir.
Remove all subdirs named org.apache.geronimo.* from the .metadata dir.
This comes without warranties of any kind. Close Eclipse and backup your eclipse and .metadata dirs before trying this!
If the above isn't working, you might just be able to live with Customize Perspective... -> Menu Visibility and remove the check.
With the new Eclipse 3.5.2 Update manager, I am not able to find, how do I specify installation directory for my plugins. I use it, so that I can manage multiple installation of eclipse, without installation plugins again. Can anybody provide me settings, so that I can specify location for plugin, while installing it ?
You can use an external dropins folder, with the setting (in your eclipse.ini):
-Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory=C:/jv/eclipse/mydropins
Now, the trick is:
If you install a new plugin through Eclipse itself, it will install it directly in its own plugins/features internal directories.
It is up to you to move those jars in a similar directory structure in your external dropins directory.
So this is not an exact solution for your problem, but at least that allows you to isolate those plugins in a shared external directory which will be read by different Eclipse installation on each Eclipse session startup.
