Installing a plugin manually in Websphere Commerce RAD 7.5 / Eclipse 3.4.2? - websphere-commerce

I am trying to install FindBugs manually on IBM RAD 7.5. Unfortunately it's too old to use the automated plugin installer, and so I am trying to do it manually.
WebSphere creates a LOT of directories named "plugins". Which is the right one?

Find the setenv.bat file. Run it. Check what the environment variable RAD_HOME is set to. Your plugins live in %RAD_HOME%\dropins\wcde\eclipse\plugins.
For an example/test, try installing CheckStyle using these instructions: http://eclipse-cs.sourceforge.net/downloads.html

Is there a way to have autocompletion for Spring Boot application.properties in Eclipse?

I know that this functionnality exists in STS but I would like to know if there is any plugin or configuration to obtain this functionnality in Eclipse.
Since the STS is an Eclipse distribution with a bunch of Spring plugins, you can also install these plugins in any other Eclipse installation. To do that, just add their Update Site into your Eclipse and install the plugins. You can find the links for the Update Site at https://spring.io/tools/sts/all (update sites differ for Eclipse 4.4 and 4.5).
Additionally you can go to the Eclipse Marketplace and install all STS features from there (which will basically convert your Eclipse installation into STS).

Unable to install IBM Bluemix Eclipse plugin for Luna and Mars

I am tried to install IBM Bluemix eclipse plugin for Eclipse Mars from Eclipse Market place. Eclipse listing all required libraries and dependencies but installation its showing following error as shown in image.
Note:
I was able to download install other eclipse plugins like PyDev,Subclipse etc.
Any suggestions or links? Thank you :)
Which version of Eclipse are you using? I just tried with the JEE Package for Mars SR1: https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/mars1. Then, search for the Eclipse marketplace entry from Eclipse and do the install.
and I can complete the install successfully. It may just be a temporary outage on the server. Would you mind to try it again?
If the problem still exist, can you list out the details of your setup, e.g. Eclipse package that you start with, platform, steps to reproduce, etc. so I can try to reproduce the problem.

How to use spring tool suite plugin in existing Eclipse Kepler

I've downloaded the 'spring-tool-suite-3.2.0.RELEASE-e4.2.2-win32.zip' from STS website. After extracting I could see 'sts-3.2.0.RELEASE' folder. I want to use this plugin in my existing Eclipse Kepler. After putting it in Eclispe Kepler's dropins/plugins folder I could not see the STS anywhere in Eclispe. Let me know what to do for this.
There are two ways to get the Spring Tool Suite running on your machine. The first one is to download the full distribution for your platform, extract it, and run it as it is. It comes as a ready to use distribution that already includes Eclipse and a lot of additional plugins installed. That seems to be the bit that you downloaded. Although I would recommend to use the latest version (STS 3.6.1 on Eclipse 4.4) in that case.
The second way is to install the STS components into an existing Eclipse installation. You can do that by using the Eclipse Marketplace menu in your existing Eclipse installation. Browse for the matching STS version in there (the one that matches your Eclipse version) and install it from there.
Please keep in mind that installing the STS components into an existing Eclipse installation doesn't automatically gives you all the third-party plugins that we bundle with the STS distribution, like the latest Maven integration for Eclipse, the m2e-wtp add-on, the AJDT m2e connector, etc. In case you would like to use them, you would have to install them yourself - or use the STS distribution itself.
I would not recommend to manually install plugins into directories yourself. It usually causes trouble.
Here I would like to add some points in Martin answer that after installing STS how can you begin with it in eclipse. For that click on Window -->Perspective --> Open Perspective -->Other
Now you will find option of Spring in the list. Select it.
Finally you can use STS in your eclipse to make a spring project.

Install Glassfish Eclipse Plugin without internet conenction?

I can't connect Eclipse to internet because of security issues in my work, i want to find a way to download the Glassfish Eclipse Plugin manually (Without using the Eclipse Market Place or Eclipse Install Wizard) and install it separately ...
I made many searches and all i found is how to install the Glassfish Eclipse Plugin using the download Link from Eclipse Plugin Installer ...
PS : Glassfish Server is already installed in my Laptop i just need the Eclipse Plugin.
From where can i download the Plugin ?
And how can i install it ?
GlassFish Tools is part of Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse, which is offered in a number of different download formats, such as a ready-to-run Eclipse install and a downloadable repository. Either of these options is a good choice for users with connection problems. If you already have Eclipse installed, download the offline repository (may be called 'OEPE plugins only' on the download site). Then use the install plugins wizard, but point at the downloaded zip instead of a public URL. Make sure to uncheck the consult other repositories option to keep Eclipse from wandering to the network unnecessary.

Java Hibernate plugin link for Eclipse Helios

I want to have Hibernate Tool to be used in Eclipse. Can anyone give some proper link for the same. I used the following link. It gives an exe file but it is corrupted :
http://sourceforge.net/project/downloading.php?group_id=131065&filename=easy-jboss-hibernate-tools-3.2.0.beta9.exe
I suggest you install using the the Eclipse built-in update/ install manager which can be accessed by clicking Help---> Install New Software .It is the most easiest way to install eclipse plugin IMO.
Hibernate Tool is one of the tools from the JBoss Tools plugin , you can choose to only install Hibernate Tool when installing the JBoss Tools plugin.
From the JBoss Tools Website:
To install via update site, simply right-click the link below from
which you'd like to install, copy the link, and paste it into
Eclipse's Update or Install Manager. See Installing JBoss Tools for
more information.
Check the most updated links for different eclipse version from the above link and refer to this guide for the installation instructions.
