installation "objectaid" feature for eclipse - eclipse

i try to install the feature of diagram - "objectaid" for eclipe ..
i do all the instruction in the mannual in http://www.objectaid.com/installation and during the installation i get the error -
Unable to read repository at http://www.objectaid.com.
Unable to read repository at http://www.objectaid.com.
http://www.objectaid.com is not a valid repository location.
i checked all the prerequisites needed like GEF (Graphical Editor Framework) and it was ok .
thanks in advance .

It looks like the update site is a legacy update site. I do not know if they are still supported by Eclipse.
Your best bet is to download the zip of the feature, which you can find here:
http://www.objectaid.com/update/
And then unzip it into your eclipse/dropins directory.

The ObjectAid update site does work. I recently added ObjectAid successfully to my Eclipse Mars. I compiled the steps here. You can try it out. Also, make sure there's no firewall or network issue when you try it.

Redmine 2.6.1 See Project in tree view

I am looking for a way to get redmine to show the projects list as a tree view.
I have looked a lot in internet and so far have found two plugins that should do it but none of them work.
The first on was: redmine_projects_accordion (https://github.com/reubenmallaby/redmine_projects_accordion) and the other was: Projects_Tree_View (http://www.redmine.org/plugins/projectstreeview).
I am using redmine 2.6.1
Thanks for the help!
If anyone is looking also for a solution to this I found one! There is a project call Redmine Projects Treeview. Here you can download a plugin that does work with version 2.6.1.
Here is the link: http://sourceforge.net/projects/projectstreeview/
Thanks to the CSS Ninja here is an explanition on how this works:
http://www.thecssninja.com/css/css-tree-menu
Here is also the Project website:
http://projectstreeview.sourceforge.net/
In order to make it work download the files from here: http://sourceforge.net/p/projectstreeview/code/HEAD/tree/ extract the folder projectstreeview-code-81-trunk from the zip files and rename it to "projects_treeview" and put it in the plugin folder of redmine. Restart Redmine and it should work.
Hope this helps someone else....

How to install the Xpand in Eclipse?

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

Eclipse: Import Maven project, missing maven-gae-plugin

Coming from Visual Studio, I'm pretty new to the Eclipse IDE.
And finding it very difficult. I seem to get error messages of the type "missing ..." a LOT.
The latest issue I'm having, where I just can't get around is this:
I"m trying to compile & run this sample project: http://code.google.com/p/gwtgae2011/
When I choose "checkout maven projects from SCM" my SCM drop down is empty...
So I just checked it out with Hg manually. No problem.
Trying Import > Existing Maven Project. Seems to read the pom.xml alright, but shows an error:
"No marketplace entries found to handle maven-gae-plugin:0.8.1:unpack in Eclipse. Please see Help for more information."
Since I can't find it through updates or market within eclipse I downloaded maven-gae-plugin (http://code.google.com/p/maven-gae-plugin/downloads/list). I figured just dropping it into the "plugins" or "dropins" folder should be enough. Apparently not so...
Question: How do I fix this error?
(I tried both 3.6 & 3.7)
Links to some good eclipse tutorials covering these kinds of topics are very welcome too!
THANKS!
maven-gae-plugin is in central repo so it should be found.
Did you set the path to your local repo? http://united-coders.com/phillip-steffensen/maven-2-part-3-configuring-eclipse-for-apache-maven-2-projects
I ran into this error, what worked for me was:
Comment the plugin
Import into eclipse
Uncomment the plugin
Discover an error in the plugin XML
Fix error found in the plugin XML
I am not certain, but it seems like this is a unclear error that something about the pom.xml is invalid.

Modifying Existing Eclipse Plugin and Correctly Installing it

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 .

Specifying a target folder for Eclipse 3.4+ plugins when installing via Software Updates

After searching around I see that eclipse 3.4/3.5 now allow you to use their 'dropin' folder to manually install plugins.
This works well in a situation where you have already downloaded the feature and plugin files, however in cases where you use the Software Updates feature to simply point to a URL and download a plugin, you don't appear to have control over what folder the plugin is installed into.
Is it possible to force plugins to be installed to an arbitrary dropin folder, or otherwise export a plugin to a location so that it can be shared with other people's eclipse installations?
I'd prefer not to have to comb through the plugin info and manually determine which plugin jars to copy into a dropin folder :P
Thanks
I think the answer in this thread and the mentioned blog post of Michael Scharf can be useful for you, although the procedure is not as simple as it should be :(
The new p2 system in 3.4 is supposed to have a feature called bundle pooling that allows for shared plugins. However, I haven't used it, so I'm not sure about the particulars. I hope this at least points you in the right direction.
When using 3.4.1 you can still enable the "old" update manager in Preferences/ General/ Capabilities. Then you can use the extension points again. But it has been removed in 3.4.2 completely.
You have to remove P2 to get the old update manager.
Note: The P2 team managed to broke everything backward compatible. This tricks does not work with 3.5.
