I m trying to install Xpand in Eclipse. I am doing it through update manager. However the download stack at around 29%. I use the following link:
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/xpand/updates/nightly/
Alternatively I downloaded the zip file from this link:
http://www.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/downloads/?project=xpand
Then I tried to do install->new software-> Add -> Archive and I pointed at the zip file. I thought that this would gonna work since it uses the local zip file.Again it stucks around 29%.
Now I am thinking to manually add the plug-in to the eclipse but I m not sure how:
The content of the zip are:
- binary(folder)
- features(folder)
- plugins(folder)
- artifact.jar
- content.jar
I know that I have to copy the features and the plugins folder in the corresponding ones in the eclipse folder. However I don`t know what to do with the binary(folder) and the artifact.jar/content.jar files.
Anybody could help me out please?
Thnx
I don't know why the installation is getting stuck at 29%. It may be a firewall/proxy problem on your end, or it may be corrupt metadata in the archive. It's worth following up on the Xpand mailing list or forum.
But, if you want to install it, you can unzip the archive into your dropins folder inside of your eclipse. This will work unless Xpand requires any third party jars.
i use this updatesite for xpand install. and it works well
xpand - http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/m2t/xpand/updates/
go to menu:

I'm trying to figure out how to use the Netty API with Eclipse and this might sound really dumb but how do I set it up?
I found the download link here: http://netty.io/downloads.html and downloaded the latest version which has a file extension of .tar.bz2 but I'm not sure what directory I'm supposed to place it in and what to do with it now.
Any help will be appreciated!
if you extract the archive you'll find a jar in there like netty-all-5.0.0.Alpha1.jar in the all-in-one folder. Just put this in your build path.
Is it possible to create an Eclipse installation package, that contains a bunch of bundles and plugins? If so, how? (Like the ones that are already being offered by Eclipse.org and also from different vendors with their own projects)
The reason I am asking is, that I find it very time-consuming to install a bunch of software into development environment every time I need a clean installation of Eclipse (based on various reasons, corruptions etc.).
So I would like to install all the software I need at once, and save it somewhere else before working with it (as a backup) and if something goes wrong I can install the entire base installation again without being have to handle all the extra software in it.
Thanks!
Eclipse is downloadable as a zip or tar file, so you can dezip it in a folder, add your favorites plugins (their will be store in the eclipse folder in plugins subfolder) and create a new archive with your modified environment (your eclipse folder).
I think It's the simple way to create a backup.
I hope it may help you,
Have a nice day
One option is to use Yoxos, which allows you to create your own package of Eclipse and easily share it (including with yourself).
i have successfully configured sphinx4 with eclipse.
for that these steps i have used.
copy my java and config files to SRC folder
all the necessary jar files (in the lib). the lib folder added to the root of the project
build those jar files (jsapi files too)
change the configuration file and give the proper path
test the java file
but in Netbeans i really dont understand how to do the proper steps. can someone help me. the jar files should be added to "Libraries" rite.
then after adding them how to build them.
in the netbeans it dont show a SRC folder. so all the java files and configuration files should go to Source Packages folder rite.
can someone help me with this. please
If you have sphinx4-1.0beta6 then you can just open the folder up as a netbeans project. Open netbeans, click open project, then navigate to the sphinx folder and open it. It is already a netbeans project file type as of this version. I assume this will work in later versions also. I have no clue why sphinx doesn't say this on their website.
Sphinx4 is a Java library available in OSS repository, so you can use it as any library.
If your project uses maven/gradle, add repository in your project configuration, then add dependency on two packages - sphinx4 core and sphinx4-data. The former is the main library, the latter is required if you want to recognize US English. Then just start writing the code.
If you want to rely on jar files, just download sphinx4-core and sphinx4-data files from the repository and add them as dependency to the project, then start writing code.
If you want to modify or develop sphinx4 itself, install Gradle support in your IDE, then import latest sphinx4 sources as a Gradle project.

click on Add JAR/Folder

I downloaded the source code for the EMF based UML2 Plugin and changed a class in the org.eclipse.uml2.uml.edit project to remove special characters when returning string representations. Now when I export the projects and place the jar files either in the dropins directory or replace my current uml2 plugin jar files in plugins directory, The UML files are no longer recognized, in short my modified plugin does not install correctly (no error is thrown and I can see the files being picked up under Plugins->Target Platform) .
However, When I run the plugin as an eclipse application (from the workspace) I can see the changes I made being reflected in the new instance of eclipse.
What can I do to ensure that the plugin installs correctly?
Is there a documented procedure of how to build the uml2 plugin (or any comparable plugin) after modification?
Select the project and open the context menu. There is an entry PDE near the bottom of the menu. In there, you can find an entry to build the plugin for deployment. This gives you the features and plugins directory with the fixed files. Copy both into your Eclipse install.
Unless the UML2 plugins require some kind of magic build script, exporting the one plugin you changed and overwriting the original in your Eclipse installation should be the easiest solution. One potential problem which comes to mind is conflicting plugin version numbers: make sure you don't have two identical versions of your modified plugin in your Eclipse installation.
When debugging plugins which apparently don't work properly at runtime, I always look at Help > About Eclipse Platform > Configuration Details. This lists all the plugins found by Equinox during startup, along with their status (see the Javadoc of the org.osgi.framework.Bundle interface for explanation).
I faced the exact same problem as you describe here . I dont have any answer to your problem but i am sharing what worked for me .
I created a local update site of the plugin on my system. Create update site for your plug-in article explains very very nicely the steps needed to accomplish this .
Or just any library, in general? I downloaded the bin.zip file, but I can't seem to do much with it? This is driving me up the wall...
EDIT: In other words, there is no "standard" way to do it? I know how to add the Jar files, is it ok to just put them (and the docs) anywhere?
Shouldn't be much harder than putting the JARs into your project build path.
Unzip the archive and put the JARs where Eclipse can find them.
