Eclipse plugin installation methods

Some time ago, Google switched to idea, which seems to have shaken the position of eclipse as the leading ide leader in the Java field. This has aroused collective criticism from eclipse fans and idea fans. It seems that many programmers are familiar with this type of war. Maybe everyone is engaged in technology and confident. In fact, I don't think it is necessary to debate either. What to use for development usually depends on the external objective environment, not on subjective factors.

To put it bluntly, one of the charms of eclipse is to support extensible plug-ins to enrich its own functions. This method is also based on open source ideas. The specific method to install the plug-in depends on what we get.

1. Get a string of URLs, such as http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x

Help --> install new software --> Add, give the plug-in a name, enter the link, OK, and wait for eclipse to automatically search. This method should be established when the network speed is good, after the search is complete, select the required component, next --> finish, restart eclipse, and install the plug-in.

2. A jar package is obtained.

Put the jar package directly under eclipse \ plugins, restart eclipse, and install the plug-in.

3. A compressed package contains a folder similar to the package name, such as com. sysdeo. Eclipse. atat_3.2.0.beta3.

Put the folder with similar package names under eclipse \ plugins, restart eclipse, and install the plug-in.

4. A compressed package contains two folders: plugins and features.

① Place the jar packages under plugins and features respectively under eclipse \ plugins and eclipse \ features, restart eclipse, and install the plug-in.

② In this case, you can use the Link Method to install the plug-in. Follow these steps to create a folder in any directory on the hard disk to store the link plug-in, for example, D: \ myplugins, put plugin and feature under D: \ myplugins \ your plug-in name \ eclipse. Note that this eclipse folder is mandatory. In the eclipse installation directory, create a new links folder and create a TXT file with the content Path = D: \ myplugins \ your plug-in name. The path is \ or /, finally, rename the TXT file to your plug-in name. link, restart eclipse, and install the plug-in.

The most elegant way to install plug-ins should be the last link, which should also be the most troublesome. This method can better manage your plug-ins and plug-ins at any time. When a plug-in is not needed, delete the link file.

In fact, it doesn't matter how you install it. Do not force yourself to use link. It depends on the appropriate installation method you get. You must manage the plug-ins to avoid re-installing the plug-ins when you reinstall eclipse.

The following is a list of several plug-ins:
