I mistakenly put the plugin I wanted to install into the mod folder, instead of putting it in mod/local.
I clicked on install and got an error, and then I realized my mistake. Now, when I put the plugin into mod/local, I don't get shown any plugins in the list of plugins requiring my attention on the "Plugins check" page, and deleting it also has no effect.
How can I recover my Moodle installation?
No Moodle plugins should ever be installed to [moodle folder]/mod/local.
Activity plugins should be installed to [moodle folder]/mod/[pluginfolder].
Local plugins should be installed to [moodle folder]/local/[pluginfolder].
Have you tried placing the plugin within the /local directory? /mod/local would be the location for a module plugin called "local".

I downloaded Notepad++ from https://notepad-plus-plus.org/repository/7.x/7.5.1/npp.7.5.1.Installer.x64.exe.
And I installed the same. Now I need to install few plugins, but in the menu option Plugins there are only Converter and MIME tools listed, but not Plugin Manager.
Edit: They have removed Plugin Manager with the version 7.5. Still it can be added by following #johnny 's instruction in the best solution.
P.S: The plugin manager is only supporting the 32-bit version.
As of Notepad++ version 7.5, plugin manager is no longer shipped with Notepad++
From the Notepad++ release notes:
You may notice that Plugin Manager plugin has been removed from the official distribution. The reason is Plugin Manager contains the advertising in its dialog. I hate Ads in applications, and I ensure you that there was no, and there will never be Ads in Notepad++.
A built-in Plugin Manager is in progress, and I will do my best to ship it with Notepad++ ASAP.
If the above doesn't put you off, and you want to proceed and install the plugin manager anyway, it looks like there's a GitHub repository for nppPluginManager - though I haven't personally used it, so cannot comment on it's validity.
The nppPluginManager installation instructions state:
To install the plugin manager, simply download (links below) the .zip, and place the PluginManager.dll file in the Notepad++ plugins directory, and the gpup.exe in the updater directory under your Notepad++ program directory. (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Notepad++\updater")
In fact, if you prefer, you can just add the PluginManager.dll to the plugins directory, then do a reinstall of Plugin Manager from the plugin itself, which will place the file in the right place! Of course, if you're already using an earlier version of the plugin manager, you'll be able to just update from the update tab (or when you get the notification that the update has happened).
The GitHub repository also contains the latest release.
Follow the steps given below:
Download Plugin Manager from here.
You can find the most updated version in the release section in the Git repository:
Extract the contents of zip file under "C:\Program Files\Notepad++"
Restart Notepad++
That's it !!
To install a plugin without Plugin Manager:
Download your plugin and extract contents in a folder. You will find a .dll file inside. Copy it.
Open C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\pluginsand paste the .dll
Run Notepad++
You can download the latest Plugin Manager version PluginManager_latest_version_x64.zip.
Unzip the file.
Copy
PluginManager_latest_version_x64.zip\updater\gpup.exe
into
path-to-installed-notepad\notepad++\updater\
Copy
PluginManager_latest_version_x64.zip\plugins\PluginManager.dll
into
path-to-installed-notepad\notepad++\plugins\
Start or restart Notepad++.
Enjoy!
The way to install plugins seems to have changed, the previous answers here did not work for me.
The current (checked with 7.8.1) way to install plugins is to install it in a sub folder:
The plugin (in the DLL form) should be placed in the plugins subfolder of the Notepad++ Install Folder, under the subfolder with the same name of plugin binary name without file extension. For example, if the plugin you want to install named myAwesomePlugin.dll, you should install it with the following path: %PROGRAMFILES(x86)%\Notepad++\plugins\myAwesomePlugin\myAwesomePlugin.dll
from https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/plugins/
So PluginManager.dll goes into PluginManager sub folder.
Notepad v7.6 includes a Plugin Admin and from this you can install Plugin Manager(note1) but it doesn't work fine with npp v7.6(note2)
On the other hand Plugin Admin is only available on NPP "Setup version" and after following conditions
on Custom installation, "Plugin Admin" checkbox is enabled
on Choose Components "Don't use %APPDATA%" checkbox is disabled
Plugin Admin will place plugins at C:\ProgramData\Notepad++\plugins
(note1)Installation from Plugin Admin is not complete and \updater\gpup.exe is missing
(note2) Plugin manager is not using new plugins path and folder structure; from version 7.6 npp Plugins will be stored in individual folders (having same name than file.dll)
If you want to use npp7.6 portable, you can copy updater folder from Setup version, copy plugins from Setup version, or copy Plugins from npp v<7.6 and place each one in a individual folder.
Latest version of Notepad++ got a new built-in plugin manager which works nicely.
My system was 32 bit. I removed and re-installed Notepad++. After that from below got PluginManager_v1.4.12_UNI.zip and extracted it.
https://github.com/bruderstein/nppPluginManager/releases
I created a folder called PluginManager at C:\Program Files (x86)\Notepad++\plugins\ and copied PluginManager.dll into it. I restarted my notepad++ and now I see Plugin Manager.
A direct process to install / configure Plugin Manager :
Download the latest version of NotepadPlus Plugin Manager from the
official Github handle.
Extract the zip file.
Copy the pluginmanager.dll file and paste in C:\Program Files\Notepad++\Plugins\PluginManager directory.
Restart the Notepad++
Note: Create the
PluginManager directory if it is not present.
Notepad++ v8.1.2 has it where it used to be
I changed the plugin folder name. Restart Notepad ++
It works now, a
It can be installed with one command for N++ installer version:
choco install notepadplusplus-nppPluginManager
I am new to Eclipse and was wondering what is the dropins folder? Where exactly is it(I am on Windows 8)?
Basically i wanted to use this dark UI theme Roger Dudler made (https://github.com/eclipse-color-theme/eclipse-ui-themes) for Eclipse Juno. If you see near the bottom of this link, he says to place the zip folder into the "dropins folder". I have no idea :(
Thanks
dropins directory in eclipse (Path is Eclipse_home/dropins, which is at same level as plugins folder is present in eclipse) is a default watched directory.
Instead of installing plugins you simply put them under this folder (in your case com.github.eclipsecolortheme.themes_1.0.0.201207121019.jar) and restart the eclipse they will be picked up automatically on next start.
Please note that the dropins folder is not supported or encouraged in JBoss Developer Studio.
Plugin providers should really create an update site (or update site zip) containing their plugin bundles, and then users can simply do Help > Install new ... to install correctly using the fully supported p2/Install Manager method of installation.
Note too that Tycho now supports creation of update sites from nothing more than a pom.xml and category.xml file, and you don't need to create features anymore toadd your to the category.xml.
So there's really no reason to provide a plugin w/o wrapping it with the correct p2 metadata.
The dropins folder is if not exists it must be created. The location is the same as the executable of the IDE.
I am trying to install subversive and checkstyle onto Eclipse IDE for Java Developers however the following message appears:
"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software currently installed: Shared profile 1.0.0.1316138460759 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1316138460759)
Missing requirement: Shared profile 1.0.0.1316138460759 (SharedProfile_epp.package.java 1.0.0.1316138460759) requires 'org.maven.ide.eclipse [1.0.100.20110804-1717]' but it could not be found"
What does it mean? Is there another way to install them as I need both plugins for my course.
Please help and thank you :)
Try running Eclipse as administrator, I just had the same issue and this worked for me.
There's an alternative to running Eclipse as an administrator: you can manually give write permissions to your "eclipse" folder for all users (or just your current user).
This way Windows/UAC won't pop up the security question that you see when you run programs as admin.
Hi I had the same problem just yesterday.
I was uploading SDK for android and found your question in a google search.
I reverted back to an older version of eclipse. Link to older version of eclipse
This solved it for me.
Remember to delete eclips from your program files. You do this by just physically deleting the file from program files (not through uninstall). Then also make sure you delete your workbench. This is a file called workbench in your docs. Well mine was in my docs, it could be somewhere else on your system.
I am using windows 7.
Best of luck.
I had this problem, but I had to dig harder to fix it.
The source of my problem was the shortcut to launch Eclipse had this in the Target field:
"C:\Program Files\eclipse\eclipse.exe" -configuration C:\Program
Files\eclipse\configuration
The problem with this is that without double quotes around the "-configuration C:\Program Files\eclipse\configuration" section it would hit that space in 'Program Files' and use C:\Program for storing configuration some of the time. Generally, if you have C:\Program you should make sure programs didn't put random files in there by mistake.
To fix this I had to move the configuration files from C:\Program to C:\Program Files\eclipse\configuration, picking and choosing along the way. Change the Target field to:
"C:\Program Files\eclipse\eclipse.exe" "-configuration C:\Program
Files\eclipse\configuration"
and I was good to go.
I had the same problem, and I solved it by setting
"Contact all update sites during install to find required software"
to true.
(I used the Eclipse install manager, in
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers,
Version: Indigo Service Release 1
)
In my case, updating to the latest version of Eclipse (Juno) did the trick. Perhaps your add-on won't run on your version?
I think you need the maven plugin in order to install your plugin. If that's the case, you can follow this this instruction to install it.
Use eclipse update manager to install the plugins.. Then it will automatically select dependent plugins..You dont need to bother about dependent plugins in that case
All I had to do was completely open up full permissions for all users to the directory. This is dangerous if you have a multi-user system but Windows 7 seems to default to giving processes not very high permission levels; some processes (such as Eclipse Updated) don't know how to deal with this and request user permission, so they just bomb out. Easy fix: full control to all users and processes for the Eclipse Directory.
When installing EclipseXul plugin on EclipsePHP, it says:

Any idea what's wrong?

When running from the terminal, I can see a message, when I open the updates windows:

Recently I have my whole home folder deleted by a script. Maybe there's something with this.. But I just downloaded a brand new Eclipse installation and put it in my /home/eclipse/ folder.
It seems your current user doesn't have write permission on your eclipse installation, so eclipse creates share configuration to manage the installation and other configurations. But eclipse has several bugs related to share installation on 3.6.
Try to install your eclipse in a folder that has write permission, then install other plug-ins.
I got this same error in Win7 when I copied from the Eclipse .zip straight to Program Files. Eclipse would run, but apparently didn't have write permissions. Moving it somewhere else fixed it.
For Windows Users:
Uncheck the Eclipse folder read only permission.
Choose to run Eclipse as Administrator in Compatibility tab.
We have an RCP application and we are looking for a better way to do installation/updates. Currently to install, they just unzip a zip file. The zip file also contains scripts in it that are not java code. We were running into some bugs when updating if they don't first delete the old folder that was previous unzipped. The issue with deleting the folder is that the user loses the plugin preferences that were set. The installation would also need to register a COM server. The update would have to update the plugins and also replace the current script folder. What are some of the best options that could be used for installing and updating rcp apps? Thanks!
An option is to use the eclipse update mechanism. In this case the user would simply update like in the eclipse ide using help->software update. I have not used it myself yet ,but I have visited a tutorial from kai tödter, just google "eclipse rcp adanced kai tödter" und you will find some stuff, e.g. slides where he explains the updated mechanism as well as an example project "MP3 Manager" where you can find an example
