How to install SVN Repository Exploring plugin for Eclipse? My current Eclipse version is 2.6.1. it does not have SVN Repository Exploring Perspective.
Update your eclipse firstly.
Help --> Eclipse MarketPlace, search subclipse, click install, and then follow the instructions to finish up the installation process.
I highly advise you to update your Eclipse instead of trying to make the plugins work with the obsolete version of the IDE. You will encounter numerous issues in order to make the plugins work with older versions of the IDE since most of the plugins require atleast the 3.4 version of Eclipse to function properly. You will need to dig the archives to find older version of plugins and then some-how make them compatible with the older eclipse
My adivse, download (not update) the latest version of eclipse from the official website. I believe the latest version in use is 4.3.1.
Update : The latest version in use is now 4.4.1 (Luna)
Did you try Help -> Install New Software -> All Available sites
There you can select SVN plugin. try to install
You can add a particular site there, for example 'http://subclipse.tigris.org/' and select the SVN Version as per the Eclipse and trying referring it from 'Help > Install New Software > Add Site' .
Hope this helps.

Currently in the Eclipse Marketplace SonarLint is only available in the latest version (2.5.1). For a compatibility reason I need to have version (2.2.1).
How can i install an older version of my choice?
Instead of using Eclipse Marketplace, use menu in Help → Install New Software.
Add sonarlint URL:
http://eclipse.sonarlint.org/
and than uncheck "Show only the latest versions of available software".
You will see all available version of sonarlint. If you already have it installed with unexpected version, you need to uninstall it first in Help → Installation Details.
I had exactly the same issue. Here is how I managed it:
Ask Google for "sonarlint 2.1.0"
You'll find a page link to 2.1.0 - Bintray
You will be able to download a zip.
Then, this stack will help you install the zip from your disk.
Hope it helps!
The official zip files for legacy versions of SonarLint are here:
https://binaries.sonarsource.com/SonarLint-for-Eclipse/releases/
After downloading the zip file, in Eclipse:
Help -> Install New Software -> Add -> Archive -> the zip file
Edit: as pointed by user1323562 in comments the new URL is:
https://binaries.sonarsource.com/?prefix=SonarLint-for-Eclipse/releases/
The new URL to install older Sonarlint versions is
https://eclipse-uc.sonarlint.org with this one you can install the older versions from 5.9 up to 7.6
I've Spring Tool Suite 3.3.0 installed and it comes with EGit 2.2.0. Now I need EGit 2.3.0 or higher and so I have to uninstall the 2.2.0 to install 2.3.0. I can't install the new version because Eclipse detect a conflict with the older version.
The problem is that I can't follow the standard uninstall procedure (Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details), because, since EGit comes with Spring Tool Suite Package, the Uninstall button is disabled for it.
I also tried to delete feature and plugins (org.eclipse.egit, org.eclipse.egit.mylyn, org.eclipse.mylyn.github.feature) and then reboot eclipse with -clean option, but the conflict is still here.
How can I solve this?
I guess it happens because Spring Tool Suite 3.3.0 feature or one of its included/required feature probably references EGit feature as a requirement with mach rule 'equal' or 'equivalent'.
You can try install STS piece by piece instead of one root feature and see if it helps. You can see hierarchy for installed features in Help->About dialog.
I had the same problem with STS (3.6.1.RELEASE) and managed to solve following these steps:
close STS
remove all the features and plugins having git (also jgit)
edit the artifacts.xml in your STS installation and delete all the git artifacts
reboot STS with -clean option
open the "Help > Install new software" dialog and add the EGit main update site:
http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates
in the "Help > Install new software" dialog select the newly added site in the "work with" selection list
select all the available items and install
restart eclipse.
At the end EGit was installed and since then it is working.
Attempting to install Mercurial on Eclipse Java EE IDE Juno from
http://cbes.javaforge.com/update in the Install new software...
but,
"Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: codeBeamer Eclipse Studio (with Mylyn) 3.1.0.v201011161842 (org.codebeamer.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.1.0.v201011161842) Missing requirement: codeBeamer Eclipse Studio (with Mylyn) 3.1.0.v201011161842 (org.codebeamer.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.1.0.v201011161842) requires 'org.eclipse.mylyn_feature.feature.group 3.3.0' but it could not be found
I tried on Windows 7_64 and ubuntu 12.04_64. I even installed mylyn using the latest stable releases from http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/releases/latest
Any Ideas?
Already browsed web and this site.
You could also try the update URL from the Google Code repository instead, which installs only MercurialEclipse.
+1 to installing from Google Code Repository.
Initially Eclipse wouldn't start because of problems with the older version of the plugin so to get past this simply removed the jar com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse_1.9.1.v201111302231.jar from the Eclipse plugins directory then uninstalled the existing plugin and re-installed from the link in smooth reggae's post.
All seems good so far.
The problem is, that the codeBeamer Eclipse Studio requires an older version of Mylyn (3.3.0), which isn't available for Juno.
But AFAIK you don't need the whole CBES, if you only need the Mercurial features. Try to select only MercurialEclipse, it should also be available in that update site.
Folks,
I am a bit confused on how to get SVNKit 1.7 Beta 3 to work under Eclipse Indigo.
Using the Eclipse update site mentioned at http://svnkit.com/download.php, I installed new software from http://eclipse.svnkit.com/1.7.x. I selected both the items on the list, the core SVNKit Library and optional JNA Library.
The installation seems to have succeeded. When I look at the list of installed software, I see SVN Library 1.70 Beta 3 in the list.
However, Eclipse still does not recognized that my projects are source controlled.
When I go to Preferences, all I see is SVNKit 1.3.6-v1. I do not see SVNKit 1.7.
Is there some other step that I am missing? How do I get Subversive to recognized my Subversion 1.7 based projects?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Regards,Peter
To install SVNKit as an Eclipse plugin or to make sure that you have the latest version installed, use http://eclipse.svnkit.com/1.7.x/ as an update site location in Eclipse Update Manager.
List item In Eclipse menu select Help->Software Updates
List item Then choose 'Available Software' tab
List item Click 'Add Site...' button
List item Type http://eclipse.svnkit.com/1.7.x/ in the 'Location' field and press 'OK'.
List item Check the new site (it should appear in the list of update sites) and follow further steps as prompted by Eclipse.
Use http://eclipse.svnkit.com/1.3.x/ as an update site location to get older version of SVNKit (1.3.8).
In order to install SVNKit 1.7.x for Subversive I've opened Eclipse > Help > Install new software and used the link from http://www.polarion.com/products/svn/subversive/download.php page:
http://community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/3.0/kepler-site/ – [required] Subversive SVN Connectors
After that new connector appeared under Eclipse Preferences.
Just for the records, as of March 2013, Subversive does seem to work with SVNKit 1.7.
I installed both (SVNKit 1.7.8 and then Subversive Service Release 1.0.1) on Eclipse Indigo and haven't run into any problems so far.
If you want to give it a try, just make sure to uninstall the previous version first, as the Subversive latest releases page points out:
Subversive 0.7 to 1.0 Upgrade Notes
If need to update Subversive from 0.7.x to the 1.0.0 version,
uninstall the previously installed Subversive 0.7.x plug-in version
first. Otherwise during the installation process you'll be blocked by
the old connectors version that is incompatible with the 1.0.0 release
and couldn't be installed simultaneously with the main plug-in due to
the installation UI restrictions.

Yes, it works with Subclipse, but not Subversive.
When I go to Help->Check for Updates in Eclipse, it checks all the repositories and says "Nothing to update", but my Eclipse version is 3.5.2.R35... I am trying to install the eclim plugin and that requires Eclipse 3.6.x.
If I install Eclipse 3.6 from the eclipse.org website, would that preserve the plugins and configuration I currently have installed?
Thanks!

Usually changes between minor versions (3.x) are big enough to break any plugin functionality. You should find out whether specific plugins you're using support newer version of Eclipse.
You can always download a newer version of Eclipse and install it to different directory and run it from there to test your plugins (which you'll have to install once again to a newer platform). You'll always be able to go back to the older version.
