JOSM plugin won't work (PicLayer) - openstreetmap

I have been trying to georeference the floor plan of my home university using Java OpenStreetMap (JOSM). I have been following the guide from their website (http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/IndoorOSM) until i got stuck on the PicLayer plugin part.
The plugin when downloaded (version 29809) will never appear in my Menu bar, not even after couple of restarts of my computer AND even on a fresh virtual machine, with fresh java JRE the plugin just won't appear in the menu.
I understand that this isn't the perfect place for posting such a problem, but unfortunately when visiting JOSM forums i got banged with this message "This forum is not accepting new registrations."

I already replied to the JOSM ticket but also give the answer here.
The plugin was not correctly installed. To install a plugin, the recommended way is to download and install it directly from JOSM preferences (F12).
If the plugin jar is manually downloaded, it must be manually enabled in JOSM preferences by checking its tickbox in plugins tab:

Eclipse offline Extensions install in an almost completely closed environment (proxy)

Initial position:
Currently I'm at a customer's site who has completely locked up his system (VM), and through a proxy blocks nearly everything, including the connections to download the extensions of Eclipse.
In the Eclipse marketplace you can find the download links, but they are of no use to me. Since the proxy locks everything out.
If you use the download link, you will get to this page, which ONLY refers to the integration in Eclipse via the web. This is currently not possible for me!
A reference to the M2E version only leads to the page mentioned above.
https://www.eclipse.org/m2e/
The customer only allows Eclipse no other programs.
It is unbelievable ^^
Is there a way to install offline extensions in Eclipse like Visual Studio code?
What I need is a Maven/Java based version, including Jenkins integration.
I currently used a portable version of Eclipse from the points already described. Yes, the download of complete versions is possible and not blocked, just the integration of plugins and extensions.

How to remove CodeMix virus

I accidentally installed CodeMix malware when installing Anguar IDE plugin to my Eclipse4.6. Now everytime I open a JS file it shows CodeMix registration window and I am unable to open JS files if I don't provide my email account. I tried 3 times of unstalling CodeMix and then restarting Eclipse, but failed 3 times. Every time Eclipse says successfully uninstalled. However The virus/malware CodeMix is still there asking for my email account. It is a Windows10.
Question 1: How can I completely remove CodeMix?
Question 2: Is it a crime to develop something like CodeMix in US?
The best way to uninstall software installed from the Eclipse Marketplace is by using the Marketplace client itself. Simply go to Help > Eclipse Marketplace... entry, and then the Installed tab where you can click Uninstall.
Uninstalling software in Eclipse can be difficult if you try to do it from the Help > Installation Details approach as you either need to roll back all changes you've made by using a Revert to a previous point of the installation or find all plugins that you installed from the marketplace. If you miss some plugins when doing the manual approach, Eclipse won't fully remove it.
In this case, CodeMix is not actually "reinstalling" itself as your question reads like. It was just never removed by Eclipse itself.
The installation of mistakenly installed plug-ins can be undone as follows:
In Help > About Eclipse IDE hit the Installation Details button
In the Installation Details dialog, in the tab Installation History select the installation point before the mistaken installation and hit the Revert button
Please note that this does not delete files created by the plug-in itself. As far as I know, this plug-in creates a subdirectory in the user's home directory occupying a lot of disk space.
To the second question: As far as I know, not the development but the distribution can be illegal in the US, for example when spying without the user's consent or when licenses (including open source licenses) are violated.
There are about 6~7 CodeMix plugins including Angular, CodeMix Essentials and 3 more. I had to search by 'mix' and then remove everything in the search results. It is gone now.
As a work around I just went and removed everything it was trying to be the preferred editor for (CodeMix/Editors/Preferred Editors). It seems to have made it less of a problem.
I don't know if this applies to you, but in my installation Groovy Development Tools was interfering with adding and removing plugins. After removing that, I have been able to add and remove other things without difficulty.
I am using Eclipse 2020-12.
I installed CodeMix when I was looking for an editor for Go files. They definitely have an aggressive model when it comes to trying to monetize Eclipse plugins. I think it is a shame that they went so overboard on the marketing, because the product itself shows a lot of work, and I would have been willing to pay for something less intrusive.
That said, they now have a pretty good uninstaller built into the product. Just go to (in the Eclipse menu) Help > CodeMix > Uninstall CodeMix. This seems to have cleared it all out for me.

Eclipse Mars 4.5.1 cannot access internet after first update/plugin install

I recently installed Eclipse Mars 4.5.1 (for Java Developers) using the Oomph installer. It is installed in my User directory in Windows 7. I was able to start it up, create a hello world app, and it all ran fine.
So far so good....
Then, I go to the "install software" feature under Help and download the C/C++ developer plugin. It downloads and installs fine. When I restart, I am able to build and run C++ binaries.
Again, no problem, yet....
Then, I wanted to install another plugin, PHP Developer. However, when I have Eclipse search the available sites for the package, it cannot find any sites. I tried to do a software update, and it claims it cannot find any of the hosts.
When I try to check my network preferences, I get a "null pointer exception" error report when I try to look at the Network preferences. The error report details indicate this has something to do with ".ssh\known_hosts" file not being found. Therefore, I cannot see what proxies it is using, and the list of known hosts is blank.
Bottom line: after updating itself fine for the first plugin, it appears to be unable to get to any repository for further updates. This happens regardless of what I choose as the first plugin to get.

Can't sign into Google using Google plugin for Eclipse

I am using Eclipse Luna and I recently installed the Google plugin for Eclipse to deploy apps to the Google app engine.
I tried signing into Google services and was able to get past the password prompt and 2-step verification screen successfully. After that I get the permissions screen where I click 'Accept'.
After I click 'Accept' however nothing happens and the window goes blank. I've waited for like an hour and yet it just stays like that.
I have tried using a different Eclipse workspace, a different Eclipse installation (Luna), a different Google account which doesn't have 2-step authentication but I get the same result.
I have even checked the Eclipse log file and there are no entries made at time I tried signing in.
I've searched around but couldn't find anything related to this. Thanks in advance.
Right click, choose another encoding. Worked for me!
I faced the same issue with next configuration
Windows 8.1
JDK 7 and 8
Eclipse Luna
Google Plugin for Eclipse 4.4
GWT SDK 2.6
App Engine SDK 1.9
I think that something wrong with Google plugin, so here my Windows command line workaround:
Download and install external tools: App Engine SDK, Apache
Ant. At moment of writing this text Google App Engine doesn't
support Java 8, so you need install Java 7 and configure JAVA_HOME
environment variable accordingly.
Add to PATH environment variable paths to bin folders of App Engine and Ant.
Run command line and go to folder of your Eclipse project. Note that your project must be configured with Ant and build.xml file must be inside your project's folder.
Type ant build command and wait until successful compilation.
Configure your application ID via Eclipse or edit file war\WEB-INF\appengine-web.xml and set appropriate value into <application> tag.
Type app cfg update war It may run your browser, ask you credentials and ask to paste generated key.
After successful deploy navigate to your_application_id.appspot.com
Enjoy.
Read this article for details.
There were some bugs in the oAuth flow when you encountered this. We fixed all the ones we knew about last year. GPE login should be working now, but if not you can also try the newer Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse.
I had exactly the same problem ( Ubuntu 16.04 LTS )
To solve it I went to Eclipse Market Place and installed Google Cloud Tools for Eclipse 1.1.0
I accepted all the items to be installed
When I finished the installation, I restarted Eclipse, reopened it, clicked the Google icon in the bottom right corner, and logged in to the Chrome browser (It opens Chrome automatically).
This way I managed to make the connection.
I hope this can help !

Eclipse plugin does not work on some computer

I've made an eclipse plugin but for some reason it does not seem to work on some computer. By not work I mean that eclipse says that the plugin is installed but none of the menu contributions show up.
Since the computer is not mine what would be the best way to figure out why does it not work?
Is there any app that could give me a log of some kind?
Simar
Installed means the plugin has been found, but there are some dependencies unsolved that prevents it from launching. You want it to be resolved or active
Look at Dude, where's my bundle for more information on plugins and their different states. Install the Eclipse plugin development functionality to get plugin registry view, then you can diagnose your plugin. Or follow my advice here and use the osgi console to diagnose it.
The error or workspace log could also give some information regarding why the plugin wont start.
