How to manually install "veloeclipse" plugin in eclipse luna (4.4.0) other than install wizard available in eclipse?
In general if you would like to manually add a plugin to eclipse you can use the dropins folder.
Step 1: Download the Plugin
Step 2: Unzip the file, you should see
two folders, features and plugins
Step 3: Copy those folders
directly into the /dropins folder (this folder is within your eclipse
installation. e.g: C:\DevApps\eclipse\dropins
Step 4: Restart Eclipse
Step 5: Plugin will be installed, check Help -> Installation Details
-> Plugins
You can either use
Eclipse Directory Application
Allows installation via script on commandline
Eclipse Dropins Folder Just throw the plugins into a specific folder

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 was following this below website
http://visualvm.java.net/eclipse-launcher.html
for installing VisualVM into Eclipse Helios Version 3.6 , for this as mentioned i downloaded visualvm_launcher_u1_eclipse_36
and also under in Eclipse Menu Window --->Preferences ---> Installed JRE ---> Pointed JDK Path in JRE Settings
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_27
But when i tried to install this VisualVM into Eclipse by
Eclipse Menu ---> Install New Software --->Add -- >Archive option
i am getting the below exception
Could not find jar file:file:/D:/VisualVM/visualvm_launcher_u1_eclipse_36.zip!/
Please see the image related to the Exception .
This is what I did to get it installed.
downloaded and unzipped to C:/visualvm_launcher_u1_eclipse_36/
Eclipse Window --->Preferences ---> Available Software Sites --> Add
(Name: VisualVM;
Location: file:/C:/visualvm_launcher_u1_eclipse_36/)
Eclipse Help ---> Install New Software ---> Select VisualVM from drop-down menu ---> Expand Uncategorized ---> Select VisualVM Launcher Feature ---> Next
It looks like you are not following the steps for installation. You should:
unzip visualvm_launcher_u1_eclipse_36.zip into directory of your choice
add local update site pointing to the chosen directory
install VisualVM Launcher Feature
The file itself may be corrupt that you are trying to add as an archive. Examine the root level of the file and make sure the correct components are there. Right now, I am trying to install EPIC in such a way. What I see in the zip file at the root level are:
features (folder)
plugins (folder)
README.txt (file)
site.xml (file)
For anybody else stumbling upon this question and having the same problems:
handshake failure when using Eclipse marketplace/Update site
You tried JRE unlimited policy workaround and it doesn't work
manual installation of plugins also doesn't work
I have downloaded clean eclipse zip, started it and downloaded the plugin that I wanted (Enhanced Class Decompiler), and then opened the targeted Eclipse installation (actually an IDE called Intershop Studio) and used File -> Import -> Installation -> From Existing Installation to import plugins.
So this solution is applicable if problems are not caused by system configuration or if you already have plugins installed on another Eclipse installation.
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"
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:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/pmd-eclipse/update-site/
I was hoping to use the Qt plugin with Eclipse. The installation is very simple - just expand a tarball in the appropriate directory. After doing so, I can see trolltech folders under eclipse/features and eclipse/plugins. However, when I try to create a project, I see no sign of any Qt option. Nor do I see Qt listed in the Installed Software listing of plugins or features.
Eclipse: Galileo Build 3.5.2
CDT: 6.0.0.2
O/S: Ubuntu 10.10 i686 2.6.35-28-generic
Plugin in tarball: qt-eclipse-integration-linux.x86.1.6.1.tar.gz from here: http://qt.nokia.com/developer/eclipse-integration/
Starting Eclipse with -consolelog -debug didn't offer any enlightenment
Have the Qt plugins aged past their use-by date?
Update
Installing to /usr/share/eclipse is a mistake
Installing to /usr/lib/eclipse works
I would suggest that that the instructions on the Qt page could use some revision. Instead of saying:
Find your eclipse/plugins folder
It might be better to add: The eclipse folder should contain the eclipse executable, eclipse.ini, the plugins directory, and the features directory.
This would have kept me from being fooled by /usr/share/eclipse, which has a feature directory and a plugins directory, but is not the correct place to install additional plugins.
Try untaring under the dropins directory instead. Modern versions of Eclipse will not pickup plugins overlaid over the existing plugins and features directories. If dropins doesn't work then these plugins declare dependencies on older versions of eclipse components.
Find out where your eclipse installation lies in terminal. I have mine extracted to ~/tools/eclipse/
$ which eclipse
Navigate to the folder and extract the plugins into the plugins folder, the features into the features folder.
Start Eclipse back up and go to Window->Preferences->QT. Click Add and navigate to the executable directory. For me as of version 4.8.1 it was in /Qt/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/bin. The includes directory auto updated to /Qt/Desktop/Qt/4.8.1/gcc/include, click Apply and restart if necessary.
After this I can create a new Qt Gui projects, Qt gui classes, Qt resource files and Qt console projects in addition to Qt Designer forms.
