I'm new to eclipse, perfer netbeans actually, but android tutorials use eclipse.
The eclipse website is a mess and just confuses me. What projects do I need to install to have the same functionality as the eclipse package for java devs.
Any help is much appreciated.
I would recommend downloading a classic package (bottom of the page). Or you could add JDT to your version.
You can use the EPP Packages Repository in Eclipse to install the EPP Java Package.
It's the same package as proposed on the Eclipse Download page but it will download only the required files.
The Update site URL for EPP Packages for Galileo is :
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/epp/packages/galileo

I made a plugin in eclipse juno using xtext, I package my plugin using the following tutorial: http://www.vogella.com/articles/EclipsePlugIn/article.html#p2deployplugin ... sec 6.Create update site for your plug-in and I install it in the same version of eclipse IDE and the installation was successful. I need install it in others versions of eclipse's (Helios, Galileo, etc.) but when i try to install in Helios appear the following message:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
Software being installed: MView Source 1.0.0.201308011127 (MView.feature.group 1.0.0.201308011127)
Missing requirement: MView Source 1.0.0.201308011127 (MView.feature.group 1.0.0.201308011127) requires 'org.eclipse.xtext 2.0.0' but it could not be found.
I searched for org.eclipse.xtext 2.0.0 jar to add to the dependencies but i dont found it.
I don't know if this will work but I wanted to ask if there are some way to make my plugin compatible with various versions of eclipse IDE and how. compatible with backward versions and forward versions. I would appreciate any information about it. Sorry for my English Thank you very much. =)
If an Eclipse installation does not contain Xtext, you need to provide Eclipse with the URL of the plugin repository (sometimes called update site) where it is located. That will enable Eclipse to discover and install your dependencies when installing your plugin. You can find the URLs that you need on Xtext website.
http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/download.html
Try to see the version of XTEXT plugin in both of eclipse instalations:
Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details.
In Plugins tab, search for Xtext UI Core
Sorry my english.
A complete overview on:
All XText versions
The dependent XText core component versions
The corresponding Eclipse platform version
Links to the appropriate download / update sites
can be found here: XText versions, dependencies and Eclipse platform matrix
An pretty useful example for a target platform configuration is there as well!
As per the JSystem documentation it's stated that the installer of JSystem has a little checkbox which install the eclipse plugin, but the screenshot on the manual it's for Windows XP(http://www.jsystemtest.org/sites/default/files/help/Chapter%203%20Getting%20Started%20with.htm#_Toc206753837) and right now I'm using ubuntu 12.04 with Eclipse Juno. I just installed JSystem here and can't find that little checkbox.
Also the documentation is sparse and short. Does anybody know how to install the JSystem plugin for Eclipse?
Thank you!
Actually, the Eclipse plugin is no longer part of the JSystem installation.
If you still want to use it, you can grab one of the older installation packages from SourceForge
(Version 5.7.02 would do the trick).
If are having problems with the Linux installation, you can install it on windows and copy manually the com.ignis.eclipse.plugin_5.7.02 jar from the jsystem/runner/Eclipse folder to the Eclipse plugins folder.
After restarting the Eclipse, you would be able to create a new JSystem project using the plugin.
One of the main reasons that the plugin is no longer provided and supported is that JSystem is now using Maven and most of the plugin functionality is now done via Maven archetypes.
To learn more about it please refer to the Getting started guide
Trying to import some code I wrote in intelliJ and I came across a problem on my main workstation, my Eclipse Juno has no option to create a new web project, however on my laptop Eclipse Juno in there has the option, which is odd because it's the same version of Eclipse, any thoughts on how I should be able to start a web project?
Edit Thanks Andre, yeah I have the wrong Eclipse but I have so much in my workspace it isn't viable to reinstall it, also getting it to work on Ubuntu was a bit of a pain; I was looking for a single repositry for the EE web tools, thanks.
Thanks to Andre for the answer, you can find the WTP plugin in the marketplace, unfortunately Juno does not have Marketplace as default therefore you must use Juno software repository URL in the install new software section of Eclipse to download and install the Marketplace
I installed Eclipse using Synaptic Package Manager (Ubuntu 9.10).
However, my Eclipse does not have any HTML template (in New dialog) or JSP template.
How can I fix it so that I will have some HTML and JSP templates overthere?
Fetch Eclipse plugin from http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo and select Web Developments stuffs solve the problem.
I do not recommend to install Eclipse from the ubuntu repository but to install it manually instead (and grab Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers). Just be sure to check this answer to fix the "click problem" due to a bug with Eclipse 3.5 and GTK+ 2.8.
Update: The reasons to prefer a manual install are explained in EclipseIDE. First, there is no guarantee to find the most recent of Eclipse in the repository (in Ubuntu 9.04, the packaged version of Eclipse was totally outdated). Second, even if you find an up-to-date version (like for Ubuntu 9.10), you'll need to run Eclipse as root to install plugins not available in Package Manager - why did they start to package plugin, this is just crazy - which is not a good idea. User mode installation solves this problem.
You can install eclipse-wtp-webtools package for static html files. I can't find one for jsp though.
I want an Eclipse Java EE plugin which I can install directly from Eclipse.
I searched about it on Google and found some ones but couldn't figure out how to download them directly from Eclipse.
One plugin I found was WTP but couldn't find the location of the WTP repository that I can enter in the Eclipse's Software Update tool.
I am using Eclipse 3.4.2 (Ganymede)
I warmly suggest to install Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers which already includes the Web Tools Platform (WTP) and much more (see this page for a full comparison).
As an alternative, you can download a zip of the Web Tools from here or install it via Update Manager using this URL:
http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/
If you have Eclipse Galileo you should go to Help > Install New Software. Then the list of available sites to install updates will appear. You should add the WTP plug-in to this list, for example.
To do this, click on Add and enter the name and location (you can get this from the WTP site). Then, select this plug-in and click on Finish. That's it and it's valid to all plug-ins.
when you are searching do a comprehensive search http:// in eclipse
Google search the repository containing Java EE WTP
Install the new software in your IDE, restart your IDE, right click under the project explorer view, select new, the option for creating a dynamic web project should now be available. I did it using the luna version of eclipse which dose not have the default and now have the option.
Use

And go from there
