The standard/class edition of eclipse still includes JDT, CVS, GIT and various other features.
Is there a way to install it with only 'resource' management/project tools.
Essentially a version of eclipse built without any language or environment in mind.
A lot like an operating system without any programs installed other than what it needs to run itself and provide the means to install programs entirely at the user's discretion.

The eclipse-platform section contains no-frills, just raw eclipse.
try this link (http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/moreinfo/custom.php) It should contain what is called a Eclipse Platform Runtime Binaries which is the most minimalist package available.
Same answer I wrote in: Eclipse without plugins for windows
You can download it from here: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/index.html. There you can find 'clean' builds of Eclipse, which do not ship with common development tools.
You still can uninstall the plugins you don't want this way :
Menu > Help > About eclipse SDK > Installation details
Install software tab
Select the plugin you don't want
Uninstall button
Goto https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
Choose a release
e.g. "Latest Release : 4.10" --> https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/R-4.10-201812060815/
On this new page choose "Platform Runtime Binary"
It contains the Eclipse Rich Client Platform base bundles and do not contain source or programmer documentation.

I have downloaded .tar.gz install file for C/C++ eclipse IDE.
Can it also be used for java or do I need additional ?
Yes it is, you should install the right plugin - JDT (look at Help->Install new Software)
Base on wiki link:
In computer programming, Eclipse is an integrated development
environment (IDE). It contains a base workspace and an extensible
plug-in system for customizing the environment.
That means Eclipse is just a platform, and you can install any plugins for eclipse. On Eclipse site, you see some packages such as Eclipse CDT Eclipse JDT ... Because they just want you to have a convenient environment for working: just download and run. You can download any versions, and install enough other plugins and they will works well. Here is some tutorials: official link and another nice link
But my recommendation is:
you don't know how "enough" is (as newbie). So the result will be hard because you don't choose enough packages for supporting your languages. And Eclipse Foundation has made it for you.
You shouldn't use many languages in same Eclipse distribution (although you can switch to other workspace easily). Many languages mean many installed packages, and this will slow down your eclipse so much because eclipse must loads more plugins into memory, loads more projects ... This is my experience. So, each language, each eclipse distribution, each workspace. That's a trick.
And answering directly to your question:YES. You can use that version for programming java, but will need to install JDT (Java Development Toolkit) plugin.
Hope this help :)
I use Eclipse daily in a VERY limited scope, I would consider myself an Eclipse newbie.
Update: I'm looking for a plugin for eclipse, not an external application (e.g. Notepad++)

I use eclipse for editing javascript files. I'm not a web developer, I develop custom applications for a popular web based ERP application and they're written in javascript. I use JSEclipse (I know it's old, but I still haven't found anything better, including Aptana) with Eclipse classic.
I do sometimes need to edit xml files and even less frequently the source of html files. Currently when I open these files in Eclipse they are displayed as just basic text. No syntax coloring and the Outline window has nothing to say about the doc. I've been googling for about 20 minutes and I'm having a hard time just finding a simple plug-in that I can use with my current installation that will provide syntax hilighting. I suspect there must be one out there, but my searches are missing it somehow...
I don't want to install a different version of Eclipse, I have 3 workstations configured with my environment and don't want to stir everything up. I tried installing the "Eclipse XML Editors and Tools" from the WebTools project but it failed out with several missing dependencies.
Here are the detailed error messages:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: Eclipse XML Editors and Tools 3.2.4.v201103170600-7H7AFUaDxumQJOs8hggQZ6_jl1EOJGNlUsOsTM (org.eclipse.wst.xml_ui.feature.feature.group 3.2.4.v201103170600-7H7AFUaDxumQJOs8hggQZ6_jl1EOJGNlUsOsTM)
Missing requirement: Structured Source Editor 1.2.4.v201103231819 (org.eclipse.wst.sse.ui 1.2.4.v201103231819) requires 'bundle org.eclipse.jface.text [3.6.0,4.0.0)' but it could not be found
Cannot satisfy dependency:
I'm concerned about starting a "dependency chase" and before I know it I've installed a handful of things that will have who-knows-what impact on things.
Does anyone know if a simple, lightweight plugin that I can install from the "Help > Install New Software..." tool in Eclipse?
Have you consider this one?
http://editorxml.sourceforge.net/
Best Regards!
The XML editor from the WebTools project is the way to go. Since you didn't post the exact problem that you encountered when trying to install this plugin, I cannot help you further. I suggest that when you encounter a problem installing a certain plugin that you post the following information:
The exact details of what you have installed. Base version is a start, but you should also include which package you installed and general description of other plugins you installed into it.
The exact error message you got during plugin installation.
BTW: Eclipse 3.5.0 is very old. Version 3.6.2 is out already and 3.7.0 is going to be out in a few days. At the very least, you should run search for updates and move to version 3.5.2.
Update: Based on the provided error information, it looks like you are trying to install the version of XML editor that goes with Eclipse 3.6. Make sure that you install from the following repository and disable "check other repositories" option in the install dialog.
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo/
If you accept editors outside of Eclipse (I had to read the whole story to see "plugin"...), I just use SciTE, and Notepad++ should do a similar job.
For real XML editing, I found Exchanger XML Editor to be quite efficient.
Shouldn't Eclipse be able to edit XML natively? It should colorize them if they are in a project, I think. I should try...
[EDIT] Indeed, it works. But I use Eclipse Helios for Java developers, perhaps it has some goodies from a base Eclipse.
In my configuration, it opens by default XML files in outline mode. Strangely, if I open them with a text editor, I have no syntax highlighting. I have that with the Ant editor, but then it will report errors (probably checking the DTD/schema).
Free, opensource. Works with 4.5. http://www.gstaff.org/colorEditor/
LiClipse (http://brainwy.github.io/liclipse) provides a lightweight XML editor that provides syntax highlighting just fine.
-- i.e.: it's target is exactly providing lightweight editors for a many languages in Eclipse (note that it's commercial)
HI all,
I have Eclipse installed with PDT (PHP Development tools).
I want to program in Java and C++, do I have to download whole Eclipse JDT and Eclipse CDT again, and have separate installations, or can I install "plugins" to handle Java and C++ ?
Thanks
Yes you can install the plugins into the same Eclipse installation. For Helios you can use the Update manager Help->Install New Software then select the Helios site and select C/C++ in Programming Lagnuages and so on. If there's something else you need you need to get the update URL and add a new site.
You can have one eclipse with all the plugins (and perspective). But that's tedious:
you'll have to find the plugin jars for each of the 'suites' and place it in the plugins dir. Sometimes they might not have an update site url
some plugins cause problems, sometimes mixing certain plugins cause problems - in short, the more plugins, the more likely your environment will crash
The way I'd suggest is to have a separate eclipse installation for each task. I myself have 3, for different sort of java development (one java, one flex, one for specific project with specific plugins)
Eclipse itself is perfectly stable and capable of supporting quite a lot of plugins. However if you are unlucky to need "crappy" plugins, there the problems being.
I'm trying to install the WTP (web platform tools) to my Eclipse installation so I can get the XSL transformations working. The base Eclipse they installed for me here was the plain Java IDE (the splash screen says "Ganymede" if that means anything). Looking at this site, the URL to get the download should be here: http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/ ...But when I give that URL to the Eclipse update manager, I get an error telling me: "No repository found at http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/"
Anyone else had this problem? Anyone know what might be up? Anyone know how to get the xsl-transform plugin installed?
EDIT:
I should have mentioned before that I want to find a way to do this without installing any new instances of Eclipse. This process will eventually be sent to several other developers who already have Eclipse (same version that I'm testing with) and I'd rather just do an in-place upgrade rather than have everyone go and install a new product.
UPDATE:
I found another plugin, Xcarecrows 4 XML which can also do XSL transforms. The interface is ugly and seems more than a little quirky, but it's also a small download, and at least it runs and transforms. Unless I can find an easy way to get WTP working, I'll probably just stick with this.
You can try and install WTP through the main Ganymede update site:
http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede/
Or you can download the latest Java EE bundle and use that instead of your current Eclipse
(do NOT unpack it on top of your current Eclipse, but unpack it elsewhere, to test that second installation: it will come with WTP inside)
Note: check then "How do I start Eclipse" to point to your existing workspace in order to see all your previous project in your new Eclipse installation.
As mentioned in your link, XSL Tools is now part of WTP (for Eclipse 3.5 Galileo), and that may explain why your Eclipse Ganymede (3.4) might not interpret correctly the P2 update site for WTP (P2 being the new Eclipse provisioning mechanism introduced late in the 3.4 release cycle)
For Eclipse 3.5, you have an XSL Tools installation illustrated here:
But Eclipse3.4 is more likely to be compatible with XSLT0.5 and you will need a separate installation, because "XSL Tools" wasn't yet part of WTP.
I am not sure, however, where to find such an installation package within the Eclipse projects.
Use the following update site :
For Juno :
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/juno/
For Indigo :
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/indigo/
I'm assuming you don't have any firewall exceptions for Eclipse right?
The site for the WTP update is indeed the one you've listed. Maybe post a screenshot? You've added it specifically to your remote update site list?
Either way try a manual update which should be more reliable and get you up and running for now.
All-In-One Update (Eclipse IDE included):
Go to the Eclipse Download site.
Grab the all-in-one package: Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers
Install, have a coffee and enjoy. (WTP is included)
Manual Update your existing installation of Eclipse:
Download the applicable WTP source package to your desktop
Shutdown Eclipse
Extract the package to your Eclipse installation directory
Startup Eclipse. (WTP is now available)
Follow the steps in the FAQ at http://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_FAQ#How_do_I_install_WTP.3F .
Are you behind a proxy? If so, you need to make sure you configure your proxy settings in Eclipse.
Window > Preferences
General > Network Connections
Ok, I can probably get it working if I do a clean install of Eclipse. I can do that on my machine, but not the other team members' machines (at least not without going through many emails and paper work) so I'm going to say that XCarecrows 4 XML is the solution. It is able to do XSL transformations in Eclipse 3.4 and doesn't require anything else to be installed. Since XSLT is all I need, the plugin will do.
you can use the marketplace:
https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/eclipse-java-ee-developer-tools-0
like the site says:
Drag to Install!Drag to your running Eclipse Workspace.
i downloaded eclipse pdt, seem it only support php project ??, can made it support php and java either? i dont want install 2 separate version
thanks.
You can install Eclipse for Java Developers version (Mac OS Version) and then use "Software Install..." option inside Eclipse to install PDT using these three locations (again, for Mac OS). Choose your platform by going to the base site.
Help | Software Updates | Available Software tab
Select Ganymede Update Site or Eclipse Project Updates site (you can add others)
All sorts of available plugins and addons will be listed to support all manner of programming projects
