My Eclipse Marketplace/Install New Software links are not working. Is there any other way to install a plugin in Eclipse? Can you please tell me where I can download a plugin independently and install in Eclipse manually?
Thanks in advance!
You can install a plugin from an archive.
In install new software
Click on Add
Under Location Click Archive
Another simpler way: Some plugins have an Install button on the Marketplace website (e.g. this) which you can simply drag & drop to Eclipse.
If you just have a plugin rather than an install package (also known as an update site) then copy the plugin to the dropins folder in the Eclipse install and restart Eclipse.

I just installed a new Ubuntu; and also decided to do a complete refresh of my eclipse workspace. But now I am facing an issue with an internal eclipse update site that I used in the past to install some internal plugin ...
Long story short: I can't provide an "install site" to eclipse for a plugin I would like to install.
Now I am wondering:
I did install this plugin earlier on (and I still have that system image and workspace around); so is there a way to "pull" the "plugin install artifacts" from an workspace it was installed to? And then use those artifacts to install the plugin without having an "install site"?
You can find the old plugin in the 'plugins' directory of the old Eclipse installation. You should just be able to copy the plugin to the 'dropins' directory of the new Eclipse and restart Eclipse to get it installed.
I am trying to install android in eclipse to develop apps on my ubuntu setup.
I get the following error though:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Android Development Tools 20.0.0.v201206242043-391819
(com.android.ide.eclipse.adt.feature.group 20.0.0.v201206242043-391819)
Missing requirement: Android Development Tools 20.0.0.v201206242043-391819
Any ideas as to what the problem is? I have tried using the url and download the zip manually in eclipse under add new software.
I had something similar. If you need the ADT version 20.0.0 then install it manually (from a ZIP archive) as described here and download it from here: http://dl.google.com/android/ADT-20.0.0.zip
Good luck
During installation, there's an error about requiring org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui. How do I fix that?
The Google Plugin for Eclipse depends on other specific Eclipse components, such as WST. Your installation of Eclipse may not yet include all of them, but they can be easily installed by following these instructions. Eclipse 3.6 (Helios)
Select Help > Install New Software...
Click the link for Available Software Sites.
Ensure there is an update site named Juno. If this is not present, click Add... and enter http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno for the Location.
Now go through the installation steps; Eclipse should download and install the plugin's dependencies.
Filter for wst and install all those. Restart Eclipse and then you can install the adt plugins.

These steps worked for me:

3- check the box "Contact all update sites during install to find required software".
4- select all the 6 android components
5- download, restar eclipse, update the adt then... enjoy!!!
Try this:
When installing ADT through Eclipse just make sure you have checked: Contact all update sites during install to find required software. That helped me.

Installing a plugins on Eclipse it is easy as putting the plugin jar file into the dropins folder of your eclipse installation, but in your case to install the HG plugin you can use the update manager, put the update site : http://cbes.javaforge.com/update into your eclipse update manager .
Go to : Help ---> Install New Software ... ---> Add
then you can add the update site in this way :
After that you have added the update site you can install the plugin selecting it, and going ahead with the step-by-step installation wizard ...

In latest versions of Eclipse (since Eclipse 3.4), a new provisioning mechanism appeared. You should never make any modification yourself in the Eclipse filesystem. You have to use p2 for manipulating your Eclipse installation.
Refer to the following links, for a first step in this install mechanism: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started
To manipulate things without launching the Eclipse itself:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_director_application
If you manualy copy the plug-in in your Eclipse folder, then you are responsible for removing it. Since you didn't go through the Eclipse install mechanism, Eclipse is lacking the metadata needed to uninstall it. It basically says: "I see it is there, but I don't know how it got there, so better not remove it."
