I've just installed Eclipse Juno Service Release 2 on my Mac (10.7.5 up-to-date). The Eclipse install went fine. It included the C/C++ IDE (1.5.2...).
Then I wanted to install PyDev and so followed the instructions at http://pydev.org/manual_101_install.html to install it from within Eclipse. After installation, there was no indication that anything was installed, either looking at Eclipse preferences or views. However, looking at the directory structure within
/Applications/eclipse/features
/Applications/eclipse/plugins
it was obvious that quite a bit of stuff got downloaded.
I cleaned up all the recent stuff (since it didn't work) and grabbed the 2.7.3 zip file from sourceforge, as that is the second method suggested (and I found some forums with people saying that they found this method to work). I unzipped the file into /Applications/eclipse/dropins and ended up with a file structure:
> Applications/eclipse
> dropins
> PyDev 2.7.3
> features
> org.python.pydev.feature .. folder
> plugins
> a whole bunch of com.python.pydev folders
But upon starting up Eclipse, there is again no indication that any Python features were picked up.
Does anybody have any suggestion?
Thanks.

The exact OS I'm using is RedHat 6.5 Enterprise, 32 bit. I believe Eclipse was installed using yum.
I have tried multiple URLs to try to install an SVN plugin using Eclipse's Help->Install New Software function, including this one: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.10.x, which I found here: http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectProcess?pageID=p4wYuA
Eclipse installed the plugin successfully, but whenever I start Eclipse, the plugin is nowhere to be found. I tried starting Eclipse with the -clean option, and that isn't doing anything.
Therefore, from the site I linked above, I downloaded the .zip file of the plugin from here: http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=2240. The exact file I downloaded is site-1.8.22.zip.
I had this same problem in the past with Mercurial where installing from Help->Install New Software didn't work, so I downloaded that jar (for some reason there is only one jar for Mercurial but for SVN there are many plus some directories?). I then put that jar in /usr/share/eclipse/dropins/plugins (I had to create the plugins directory). That worked. However, when I put all of the SVN jars in there, SVN is not showing up in Eclipse. I have tried many different combinations of putting only some jars in there, creating folders, etc. Again, I have been using -clean when starting eclipse, and that's not making a difference. I truly think the plugin isn't being put in the right spot because I can move the Mercurial plugin I have installed in and out, and it shows that correctly in Eclipse each time. For reference, the Mercurial jar I'm using is: com.vectrace.MercurialEclipse_2.1.0.201304290948.jar
I also noticed that /etc/eclipse.ini has this line in it, which should say where to look for plugins: -Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory=/usr/share/eclipse/dropins
So I have some questions:
Where do I put all of these SVN jars and folders that I downloaded?
Why does the Mercurial one only have one jar and the SVN have a whole bunch? I'm just curious why the developers would package these completely differently because maybe this means there's a single SVN jar out there that I could use and just have it work.
I also found a /usr/lib/eclipse folder, and there are also plugin and dropin folders in there. Why are there multiple Eclipse directories for plugins?
I believe I was using the wrong version of java. I downloaded the latest version of Eclipse, and that required me to update my java version in order to run it. I updated to 1.8 (was using 1.6). I think the latest Subclipse plugin requires something at least higher than 1.6. There were no warnings or error messages to let me know about this, so that's why it was difficult to figure out.
Once I started using the new Eclipse and Java 1.8, I was able to easily install and use Subsclipse using Help->Install New Software.
I'm struggling to get the Eclipse FindBugs plugin to work and am sure there's a schoolboy error being made somewhere.
I extracted the file findbugs-2.0.2-rc2.zip to a local folder C:\Program Files\findbugs-2.0.2-rc2 and running findbugs.bat, FindBugs works fine running it over a local Java (Eclipse) project.
I added the FindBugs update site, it found "FindBugs Feature, 2.0.1.20120712" and installed it. Restarting, right-clicking on an open Java Project doesn't display the "FindBugs" option (that this video shows).
I looked in Window > Preferences to try to find a way to inform the plugin of the local FindBugs installation (in Program Files), but couldn't find anything.
Uninstalling "FindBug Feature", I tried extracting the FindBugs Eclipse plugin zip file into Eclipse's plugins folder, but after a restart, saw no difference.
Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details > Installed Software lists "FindBugs Feature 2.0.1.20120712".
Can anyone please offer a pointer on where I'm going wrong here? Thanks!
Windows 7, Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers Juno SR1, JDK 1.7.0_09, FindBugs 2.0.2-rc2
As suggested above, problem is likely caused by not having appropriate write access to the C:\Program Files\Eclipse\plugins folder.
Solution:
Close Eclipse. Restart Eclipse as Administrator (right click - Run as Administrator). Reinstall plugin. Restart Eclipse.
It looks like the Findbugs plugin wasn't installed properly and/or disabled by Eclipse. There can be several causes.
Multiple versions of the same plugin. To make sure this isn't the case, remove all Findbugs versions (installed manually and via the marketplace), and reinstall one (preferably via the marketplace). Watch for any warnings during installation.
There is a (dependency) conflict with another plugin. However, if this is the case I think Eclipse will warn in the log which other plugin is the cause of the conflict.
Rights problem. Make sure you have write permissions in the main Eclipse folder and all it's child folders.
I remember reading somewhere that installing Eclipse under the C:\Program Files\ in Windows can also be causing problems. Try moving Eclipse to a different folder, e.g. C:\Eclipse
Hi I also faced the similar problem but from my own experience i can suggest you the solution :-
Plz ensure that you are using eclipse version 3.6 or higher. findbugs 2.0 is not compatible with Eclipse 3.5(Eclipse Galileo).
1) Plz extract the findbugs zip file into eclipse folder(wher your eclipse is installed). This will automatically move findbug plugins into eclipse plugins folder. Restart the eclipse and you will find findbugs option on right clicking on project.
2) if 1 step does not work plz remove all the findbug jars for the eclipse plugins folder and place the complete folder into the eclipse dropins folder. Restart the eclipse and you will see the difference.
You can follow these step's to make findbugs work in your eclipse.
1.Install FireBug plugin from marketplace.
Help->Eclipse Marketplace ->then search for FindBugs
2.Configure FindBug for your project
using Maven Without Maven
This worked fine for me using eclipse juno.
I recently updated my ports on my FreeBSD 9.0 release machine and I think eclipse was upgraded due to a port upstream forced Eclipse to be rebuilt. Now Pydev is gone. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling Eclipse, then installing Pydev using pydev.org/updates inside Eclipse. It appears to install ok but I can't create a Pydev project or use the Pydev view. I tried removing my ~/.eclipse folder to force the creation of a new one, and reinstalling Eclipse and Pydev to no avail. What am I doing wrong? I'm running Eclipse Indigo version 3.7.1 build id: R3_7_1
This question was most similar to mine, but the solution didn't work for me. I also tried pointing my install site as: http://update-production-pydev.s3.amazonaws.com/pydev/updates/site.xml per another question on StackOverflow, to no avail.
After some more testing I finally got the newest FreeBSD port to work. I had to launch and install the plugins as root. It didn't work another time I ran it but, this great troubleshooting document helped out. I methodically went through each step one by one, and the logs indicated there was an error on my /usr/local/lib file it was trying to unzip. My user doesn't have write access to that directory but root does. I don't know why it didn't work the last time I ran it as root, perhaps I didn't install the plug-in as root. It works now, so I'm happy. Thanks Fabio, for your input.
I'm not sure how FreeBSD packages things, so, maybe an easy way out would be getting Eclipse from Eclipse.org and installing PyDev on that fresh install (or if you're also doing web stuff, I'd suggest grabbing Aptana Studio 3, which comes with PyDev preinstalled, so, you don't have to worry about configuring it).
See: http://pydev.org/download.html for details
I decided to take a look at Clojure and thought the best and easiest method for me would be to use Netbeans with the Enclojure plugin as I didn't want to have to learn Emacs at the same time. I installed Netbeans 6.9.1 together with the latest JDK using the bundled install (on Windows 7). All went smoothly. I then followed the instructions at http://www.enclojure.org/gettingstarted for installing the enclojure plugin.
When creating a new Clojure application I get the following and see no project files :
java.io.IOException: Could not connect to URL nbresloc:/org/enclojure/ide/templates/project/ClojureProjectTemplate-1.1-distribution.zip. No such resource was found.
Maven is working using mvn --version
I have installed on both Windows 7 and Ubuntu 10.04 (same result).
I have looked on the Enclojure forum and there is a recent open thread for this issue, but it is not solved by anybody presently.
I have Java SE enabled in Netbeans
I have tried enabling the different platform versions of Clojure, 1.0.0, 1.1.0, etc..
The REPL seems to be working happily in Netbeans : (printf "hello") hellonill
I did try ClojureBox on Windows 7, but again that's Emacs, but emacs failed to start the server and hung there and became totally unresponsive.
I come from a .Net background (not Java) so my knowledge of the Java environment is somewhat lacking. My reason for looking at Clojure and not Java.
I am new to Netbeans
If you're interested in a working Maven pom, here is one I've used with Enclojure successfully:
http://puredanger.com/techfiles/100624/pom.xml
There are some project settings you'll need to change and a few dependencies to remove but it might be a good start. In general, I usually create the pom first and then just import the project into NetBeans rather than using the NetBeans options to create projects.
By the way, the REPL work in Enclojure has been split and is coming soon to the Eclipse plugin Counterclockwise.
I had written a small post on it on my blog.
Anyways here is the procedure:
On searching realized that this is a common problem for installing it on > Netbeans 7.. But with some manual tweeks managed to install it. Here are the instructions to install on Netbeans 7. plus:
Install Netbeans 7. You need only the Java SE version.
First Run of Netbeans after installation. Activate feature Java SE
Activate features is on the Start page or from Tools,->Plugins>Installed, click ‘Activate next to the Java SE support
Install Maven: It is HIGHLY recommended that you install maven: http://maven.apache.org/download.html
Go to the Netbeans->Preferences, click on the Miscellaneous tab and make sure the External Maven Home path is pointed to your maven install
Download the EnClojure 1.5 version from here. If you want to manually build, you can do that by following the instructions from here.
After downloading the file, In Netbeans: Goto:- Tools ->Plugins->Downloaded->Add Plugins->Downloaded
Then browse to the downloaded file. Later install by clicking at the “install : button.
Restart and you are on the go.
Visit here to build and run hello world project.Basically building the EnClojure 1.5 manually is the tough job. I hope above was useful.
I have Eclipse Galileo (for Java EE Developers) installed, and I'm now trying to get the m2eclipse Maven plugin installed as well.
I follow the basic steps described at http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/installing-m2eclipse.html, and it seems to be installing just fine. However, after restarting Eclipse after the install it doesn't seem to be anywhere. I should for instance have the ability to create a new maven project, but when the new-project wizard opens, there is no folder for Maven (I also cannot find any reference to it in the context menus of the existing projects I have).
When I click at Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details, I find "Maven Integration for Eclipse (Required)" in the tab "Installed Software", yet another thing pointing towards a successful installation (but I can't find it under the "Plug-ins" tab, should it be there too?)...
I feel like I'm just missing something very obvious, but right now I just don't see it...
I managed to find the answer to this myself:
I had put the Eclipse installation folder under c:\Program Files\, but when I moved it directly under c:\ instead, the plug-in installation worked just as it should. I assume that is because Eclipse wasn't allowed to write to its own installation folder (but I didn't get the usual question from Windows that something was trying to access Program Files either...).
In one way I feel like I should be a bit ashamed that I didn't think of this before. On the other hand though, there could have been some reasonable error message stating that something failed during the plug-in installation...
Well, I hope this at least helps somebody else as well :)
Did you check the m2eclipse installation requirements?
In particular, you need WTP.
"Maven integration for Eclipse" (core feature) and optional "Maven POM Editor" feature depend on the "Eclipse XML Editors and Tools" feature from WST
"Maven integration for WTP" feature provides Maven project configuration for WTP
Did you have a previous version of m2eclipse installed? Did you uninstall it before to install the latest version? Just in case, does the following note applies to you?
Note about 0.9.8 Workspace Incompatibility: If you are using
m2eclipse 0.10.0 with a workspace that
contains projects created under
m2eclipse 0.9.8, you must remove the
workspaceState.ser file. The
workspaceState.ser file is located
within the workspace directory in
$workspacedir/.metadata/.plugins/org.maven.ide.eclipse/workspaceState.ser.
If you remove this file, m2eclipse
0.10.0 will regenerate it as needed.
In my case, uninstalling the previous m2eclipse version didn't work and I had to start with a fresh Eclipse install (maybe try this also).
Regarding the plugin tab, this is what I have (to confirm that you should definitely find something):

Note that I also installed some extras from m2eclipse Extras Update Site: http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-extras
I was able to solve this problem by going into Program Files, right click on the eclipse.exe file and select "Run as administrator". When I restarted Eclipse it said I had no plugins installs so I reinstalled and my problems were solved.
PROBLEM SOLVED
I had this same problem and I used the following software site:
["M2Eclipse - http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.0] (without square brackets) to download the M2Eclipse plugin in Eclipse 3.7.0 (Indigo). For more information refer this.
To solve the problem of 'not getting Maven plugin running in eclipse' , it can be solved by altering admin rights to the .m2 folder . Right click on .m2 folder and go to network sharing. give all rights to all users. Restart eclipse and maven options will start to appear in Eclipse.
