I am trying to install an indentation guide plugin for eclipse from the following web page
http://sschaef.github.io/IndentGuide/
I have not installed plugins before in eclipse and would appreciate some help.
I have downloaded the file as a .zip and extracted it. Firstly I placed the file in the plugins folder but the file was not found. I then tried placing each of the contained folders 'pdt_tools.indentGuide', 'pdt_tools.indentGuide.feature' and 'pdt_tools.indentGuide.updateSite' in the eclipse plugins folder. This time when I go to Windows>Preferences>General>Editors>Text Editors>Indent Guide, I get an error 'An error has occured when creating this preference page'.
'Unable to create the selected preference page.
jp.sourceforge.pdt_tools.indentguide.preferences.IndentGuidePreferencePage cannot be found by jp.sourceforge.pdt_tools.indentGuide_1.3.2.v20120803'
Can anyone help me install this plugin?
Go to Help->"Install New Software" . In the window that opens you can find textbox with "type or select a site" - Enter http://sschaef.github.io/IndentGuide/update/ press enter. The Grid below should refresh , select "Indent Guide" and complete installation.
No clue how to install from zip, but what I did was to take the "update URL" at the bottom of your link, put it into the box at the top of eclipse's help|Install New Software dialog, and install the plugin using eclipse's system. It work great for me and solves one of my major complaints with eclipse.
I installed it!
Step to install (Maybe it's wrong steps) But ON my STS Based on eclipse 4.4 it's working!
First:
Copy feature.xml from pdt_tools.indentGuide.feature into
pdt_tools.indentGuide
Open build.properties at pdt_tools.indentGuide
Add "feature.xml" text to bin.includes = src/,\plugin.xml,\META-INF/,\OSGI-INF/ you will have:
source.. = src/
output.. = bin/
bin.includes = feature.xml,src/,\
plugin.xml,\
META-INF/,\
OSGI-INF/
Then Copy all files without ".project" from pdt_tools.indentGuide.updateSite to pdt_tools.indentGuide
Then go Help->Install new software->Add...->Local->(Select pdt_tools.indentGuide.updateSite) and install!
Got IT!

I have a problem regarding intallation of new software in my eclipse RCP.
I developped some plugin with Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers (Version: Mars.2 Realse 4.5.2). I have created a feature and include some of my plugin in it.
When I export my feature, eclipse create an "artifacts.jar", a "content.jar" and 2 other folders (features and plugins).
Then, I tried to install it on my eclipse RCP to test it. So I go on "Help"/"Install New Software..."
I clic on "Add..." then I select "Archive..." and I give him the "content.jar"
Here, I have to deselect "Group items by category" to see my plugins. Then I selected them and clic "Next>". Then "Finish" but I have an error message:
enter image description here
It says that no artifact repo are available.
I do not understand why as there is an artifacts.jar in my folder...
If someone gets an idea???
Thank you very much
(sorry for my bad english, furthermore I'm new in coding)
If you have the "artifacts.jar", a "content.jar" in a folder you are not installing an Archive. The Archive install is for a single file containing all of the install files.
Choose 'Local' instead of 'Archive' in the 'Install New Software' 'Add...' dialog and choose the folder containing the jars.
I am unable to install MAT via Eclipse gui. Maybe it has something to do with firewall. I tried this:
Install MAT plugins
1.Eclipse —> Help Menu —> Install New Software —> Add
2.Enter below information
Name : MAT
Location: http://download.eclipse.org/mat/1.5/update-site/
I've downloaded the source code from
Source:http://www.eclipse.org/mat/downloads.php
How do I install this to Eclipse. I tried unzipping it, putting it a directory but Eclipse not seeing it.
If mean you downloaded MemoryAnalyzer-1.5.0.201505271423.zip to install this using 'Help > Install New Software... > Add...'.
Click the 'Archive' button on 'Add Repository' dialog and select the zip file. Enter a name and click OK.
You should now be shown the contents of the zip in the main install window.
I need the Eclipse Installation folder, it was requested from another program, but there is no such a folder. When I installed eclipse I did not get any folder out of the compressed file, I only get the program itself.
However, I copied the contents and it says " it's not the installation folder since it does not have "plugins" subfolder.
The error message
The new path for the plugins is
/Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/plugins
The eclipse will be installed where you decided to put it not always under /Applications necessarily. The easiest way I think to find the installation folder is to run eclipse, go to Eclipse > About Eclipse. Click "Installation Details" at the bottom. The configuration tab in installation details should have the location of eclipse for launcher and startup config. Hope this helps!
In mac os you need to select the eclipse ini file not ecllipse.app
I need to do a work for my university and I choose to do it using the Go language. Yesterday I installed the .msi and setted the variables to:
GOPATH = C:\Users\Gustavo\goprojects (this is the folder that I want to place all my Go projects)
GOROOT = C:\Go\
PATH = C:\Users\Gustavo\goprojects\bin
After this, I installed the GoClipse plugin on my Eclipse and created a new project into the goprojects folder. Then, I created another folder in the src folder, and a .go file into this folder.
Now is my problem. When I started to write some code, everytime that I try to auto complete my code, Eclipse shows me an error and I was searching on google and found that I need to install one project from GitHub called gocode.
So I want to know where do I need to install it and how can I import it to my project.
P.S.: I am using Windows 8.1, I have git installed and the link of gocode project is: https://github.com/nsf/gocode
I solved my problem doing this steps:
Downloaded the gocode to the src folder. (The path: C:\Users\Gustavo\goprojects\src\github.com\nsf\gocode)
In the Eclipse, do this: Window -> Preferences.
Open Go option in the left menu then click Tools.
In the gocode path I set C:\Users\Gustavo\goprojects\bin\gocode.exe
And thats it! It works now.
I feel really stupid by asking this question, but how can I install Json Editor Plugin in my Eclipse Helios? I looked at the Forum in sourceforge, but I can't install it neither through .zip or by adding a web site. And will I need to change the execution environment to Java 1.6?
Here is what I did to get the Json Editor Plugin to show up in the Install Dialog.
By doing a little Google-ing, I found this page which describes the steps to install JsonEditorPlugin on 3.4.
After you have followed the first 6 steps, make sure that Group items by category is un-ticked. After that, you can then choose Json Editor Plugin to be installed from the local Zip archive that you have downloaded from the net.
Edit: as a side note, you must not have the unzipped contents of the zip archive in the dropins/ folder, otherwise it will appear as if the plugin is already installed.
Simply dropping the zip contents into the dropins folder however did work also.
Note: You must right click your .json file and choose 'Open with' -> 'Json Editor'
You can install plugins by just unzipping them into the dropins folder.
It does not matter if the zip file contains the parent folders "plugins" and/or "eclipse".
I would recommend Java 1.6 as it brings a better performance and the plugin might require Java 1.6. On your desktop shortcut you use following execution arguments:
eclipse -vm <path to jre 1.6 installation folder>\bin\javaw
Download jsonedit-repository-0.9.7.zip (or whatever) and put it in a folder you like.
In Eclipse Help --> Install New Software
Add --> Archive button and select the zip file.
Name it and press OK
Press button Next and Follow master of installation.
Then after opening json file possibly needed right click mouse on the file --> open with --> JSON editor
