I am new to Eclipse so I am having a hard time troubleshooting this problem. I have a new installation of Eclipse Java EE - Galileo on Windows, and I am unable to see any changes made in the IDE after installing plugins. I have verified that the plugins are installed via installation details, but see no changes made.
For example, after installing the maven integration plugin m2eclipse I go to File->New->Project ... and I have no option for maven. After installing the QuickRex plugin I have no view for it etc.
I have tried re-installing the plugins, re-installing Eclipse, and starting Eclipse with the -clean option, but nothing has resolved the issue.
Any ideas? Thanks!
Ok. This is just a wild guess but could you start over with a fresh install and make sure that you uncheck the option Contact all update sites during install to find required software as shown below:

I faced a similar problem (on another platform than yours), some updates were "disabling" all my plugins. Not checking this option allowed me to work around this issue.
Follow-up: You'll need to install that Zest stuff manually from the GEF update site:

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.
I have installed PMD in Eclipse Kepler using Eclipse market place.
But I am unable to access it after the installation.
When I go to Window → Preferences and search for PMD, I get no results.
Is there any other plugin available for source code cleanup?
Or: What needs to be done to install PMD in Kepler?
Thanks
I found the PMD plugin that installs through Eclipse Marketplace to be harder to use than the standalone one. Install available by an Eclipse update site here.
I've tried all these suggestions and now i have it working in Kepler; here's how to do it:
I made sure my Eclipse Kepler instance was using Java 7--it was.
The link from the eclipse marketplace did not work. It would show a PMD option for the individual projects properties, but there were no rules to select from. Also the main workspace preferences were not showing up.
I had to install it using this update site, as Jeanne Boyarsky mentioned:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/pmd/files/pmd-eclipse/update-site/
Restart Kepler.
The PMD option now shows up in the Windows->Preferences->PMD
The PMD project menu now shows up when right clicking on the project.
The install information on the web site for this plugin http://acanda.github.io/eclipse-pmd/getting-started.html says you must open the Properties for a project and look at the PMD tab.
If you've installed the PMD plug-in using the Eclipse market place then you're using eclipse-pmd which requires Eclipse to run on a JVM version 7 or later. If you're running Eclipse on a JVM version 6 or earlier and you're using eclipse-pmd 0.7 or earlier the PMD property page won't be visible.
To solve this problem you have to run Eclipse on a JVM version 7 or later. To change the JVM on which Eclipse runs you have to set the parameter -vm in your eclipse.ini accordingly. The Eclipse Wiki explains how to specify the JVM.
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 am facing the strangest of the issues with M2E Plug in and Eclipse 3.6(Helios). I am using Maven 2.2.1
I installed the plugin through both the available site option and the marketplace client and the plugin installation is happening fine. However the Maven options just seems to disappear from the editor intermittently.I say this because when I right click on a project I should get the Maven options but I am not able to see any. I also checked in Window->Preferences and couldnt find the Maven option. The worst part is this is intermittent and I cant seem to figure out what is wrong.
Changing the IDE version is not an option as it is mandatory to develop in client supplied softwares.
Got the M2E plugin from M2E - http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases
I am not facing this issue anymore. The only thing that I did is to reinstall the m2e plugin several times from the market it seems to eventually have been fixed.

I installed the Eclipse Marketplace via http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/indigo/ and Help>Install New Software... and it's not showing up under the help menu as expected after a complete reboot and I can't seem to find anyone else who is having this problem?
What led me to installing the Eclipse Marketplace in the first place was my attempt to install Eclipse Color Themes (http://eclipse-color-theme.github.com/update/). Eclipse Color Themes did not appear where indicated in it's documentation either so I thought I would attempt installing through the marketplace but I think I may have a larger plug-in related issue however plug-ins like Aptana and other misc. custom plug-ins installed correctly.
I'm running Eclipse on Windows 7 64-bit if that's of any help as well.
I had same problem.
I add http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo repo and install MPC and Maven.
I tried #d_pilot's answer which didn't work but found the repo at http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/indigo/
You should be able to change the /mpc/(version)/ to get whatever you want from there, which is nice for all the other eclipse classic versions.

I had this issue when installing via Ubuntu apt-get package management and ransom bot's answer worked for me.
