How to uninstall server adapter? - eclipse

Eclipse EE Indigo. I installed additional server adapter and I don't know how uninstall them.
they are not shown in the list of installed software
uninstalling entire eclipse and installing it again does not help
given server adapter is visible for Eclipse, because it can report conflicts for it (if any) and it is excluded from the list of adapters available to install
I don't know where I could find a list of installed server adapters with ability to uninstall them.
So -- how to uninstall server adapter?

Have you tried reverting to an older eclipse configuration version :
Help > Installing New Software > Installation History > select a configuration before you added the server tools.
ps: please let me know if this worked or not and wether you found another working solution.

In Eclipse EE Juno, I tried the trick of gaspyr to revert to an old configuration version and it worked even though the server adapter is not listed in the content installed from the installation history.
In my case, this was a pretty fresh install of Eclipse with very few configuration versions in the installation history and I knew when I had installed the server adapter. All I had to do is select a version prior to the server adapter installation.
If you are not sure what version it is, you may need to go through the installation history and revert to every versions, one by one and check each time if the server adapter is present or not. Afterwards, you may have to reinstall every plugins you had installed after the server adapter.

This one is different from other software, but to remove a Server Runtime, go to Preferences -> Server -> Runtime Environment, select the Server runtime you want to remove and click Remove.
That should take care of it.

Pretty Easiest thing would be deleting all the related Jar files and folders manually from the Eclipse folder in the file system.

How to offline install of Spring Boot Tools Plugin into Eclipse IDE?

I need to install Spring Tools 4 Plugin into my Eclipse IDE. The Problem is, that I dont have any Internet access on this machine. My other Plugins like SonarLint, MoreUnit I installed via zip archive available on official sites or github.
Install New Software -> add archive.
I cant find any zip archives for Spring Boot Tools 4. Is there a way to get it or another way to install that plugin offline?
I tried to download and install everything on another machine and copy it, but its forbidden to connect bigger usb drives to the machine. For the plugin itsef it will be ok.
Here is the archived update site for STS 4.4.2 for Eclipse 2019-09:
https://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/sts4/update/4.4.2.RELEASE/e4.13/sts4-4.4.2.RELEASE-e4.13.0-updatesite.zip
It contains all the STS4 pieces and a bunch of additional plugins from Eclipse, we haven't really tested a full offline installation using purely this update site. Usually the install procedure contains other update sites while installing a feature in order to find missing dependencies. So in case you don't have internet access and the STS4 install requires a dependency that usually comes from the main Eclipse p2 repo, you might run into this. In that case, please open a bug at https://github.com/spring-projects/sts4/issues and we will fix that.
Hope this helps!

Eclipse cannot add weblogic server

Why is Next button greyed even after I selected my weblogic server :
I have faced same problem on the eclipse which i have downloaded from https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. But I search and spend time but, only solution which i found is "download eclipse from oracle site". Oracle is supplying eclipse for development purpose, If you can download that you can find it here.
This eclipse has adapter included by default. It has latest version of weblogic server adapter. You just download it and configure your existing work space and serer domain path. It will work as it is as normal eclipse.
Hope this will solve your problem.

Installing Sonar in eclipse without network

I am currently working on installing sonar into eclipse. The machienes I am installing them on, however, run on a private server. I cannot install from the eclipse marketplace. I was wondering how I can get the proper files needed to install the plug-in?
Same answer I gave on the Eclipse forums:
One option for installing on machines without Internet access would be if the Sonar plugin developers provide an Update Site Archive (which can be used from Eclipse's Install New Software wizard). Looking at their instructions it doesn't look like they do, but maybe you could reach out to them and ask for it. Producing an archive isn't much trouble if they're already publishing an update site (which it appears they are).
Another option exists, if you have at least one machine on that network that can install the plugin: share that machine's Eclipse installation folder on the network so other machines can see it, then use File > Import > Install > From Existing Installation to select the shared Eclipse folder where Sonar is installed.
Ticket created to provide a zipped update site for next version:

how to add tomcat in eclipse luna

I tried answers in this thread, but it doesn't work.
I checked that I do have JST Server Adapters and the extensions installed, but when I go to Window/Preferences/Server/Runtime Enviroments and click "add", the selections are still not there. Could there be a conflict or I should somehow configure Eclipse? Or is it possible to add manually, what folder should I look for? I installed tomcat8 and also downloaded the .zip, but neither folder is correct.
Eclipse Version: Luna Service Release 1 (4.4.1), and I'm using windows 7.
It seems that now nothing is correct about Eclipse, I installed plugin like AWS toolkit, but it's also nowhere to be found. Now often install new plugin or even update will likely to fail because either of lack of a dependency or can no be found in repository.
Thanks a lot.
There is a link on that preferences page called "Download additional server adapters". Have you tried that, too?

Adding an extension to Eclipse without an internet connection

I have a problem with eclipse. I would like to install an extension (EGit) but the official site does only provide a classical update site.
The problem is that I am running eclipse on a distant machine that does not have internet access (only my local computer has a connection). The only link between my computer and my distant machine is a distant hard drive that is mounted on the two computers.
The distant machine is a classic linux but the local one is a Windows XP so I can't just use ssh -L (or at least I do not know the way to do it under windows).
Does anybody have an idea to help me ?
Thanks in advance.
If you have Eclipse (same version) installed on your local system, Then you can install plugin through update site. Just check what all it depends on and what additional plugins are downloaded.
Once done with this you can locate new plugins in /plugins folder. Just copy these to your remote machine. This should usually work. But it would sometimes depend upon OS for certain plugins. In your case Local and Target OS is different so there are some chances of this solution not working.
You could try mirroring the update site to a folder, and then use the folder as a local update site on the machine without internet connection.
Eclipse plugins usually depend on other plugins. It's kind of hard to trace the dependencies. It's better to download all dependencies using update site once, and you can distribute to other Eclipse dropins. Eclipse does not recommend overriding plugins directory since it may break existing functioning plugins. For Eclipse 3.4 or newer, you can use dropins which is an Eclipse feature for safe overriding. This way you don’t have to install plugin from update site every time you have to re-install your Eclipse. Read on How to install Eclipse plugins offline
