A detailed description of the SVN plugin that installs eclipse locally

Because the vast majority of the eclipse plug-in's update site servers are abroad or even inaccessible, plus the slow download speed of eclipse itself, it can take a lot of time to install the Eclipse plugin online. Therefore, in general, we recommend that you manually download the plug-in installation package by accelerating the download tool, and then install the Eclipse plugin locally.

There are several ways to install the Eclipse plug-in from the local, the following we are based on the difficulty from easy to difficult one by one for everyone to introduce.

1. Graphically install the plug-in from the local

Eclipse provides us with a way to natively install plug-ins in a graphical manner.

First, click "Help", "Install New Software" on the Eclipse menu bar.

some myeclipse versions correspond to the following: Click "Help", "Install from Site".

Then, in the display plug-in installation screen click the "Add" button, in the Pop-up dialog box to enter the name of the plugin (also can be empty), then, click on the "Archive" button, select the download Eclipse plug-in installation package zip file, and then click "Open", "OK" button to confirm and close the top two dialog boxes.

At this point, we can see the interface as shown. Click on the checkbox in the graph to select the desired plug-in item, and then click "Next".

Note: You can also remove Subclipse integration for Mylyn 3.x (Optional) plug-ins under Subclipse. If the plugin is checked, some myeclipse that do not have the Mylyn plugin installed will not be able to continue.

Needless to say, continue clicking "Next".

Next, choose to accept the Software license agreement and click "Finish".

2. Install the Eclipse plugin locally from the plugin directory

This method is intended for Eclipse 3.5 and later versions.

First, unzip the plugin installation file into any directory, and we can see the files contained in it as shown in.

Next, we go to the Eclipse installation path/dropins directory, where you create a new folder of any name (to identify different plugins, for example, SVN), and then copy the plugins and features folders from the previously extracted files to that folder. Finally, restart Eclipse.

Note: Some eclipse-based software may not have a dropins directory (for example: Zend Studio), which you can create manually.

3. Install the plug-in locally using the Links connection method

Using the Links link method, we can store the plug-in anywhere on the computer, even outside of the Eclipse installation directory.

First, we create a new folder named links in the Eclipse installation directory, and then use Notepad or another text editing tool to create a new text file called the plug-in name in this directory. Link (plug-in name can be entered arbitrarily, for example: Svn.link).

650) this.width=650; "src=" http://img.softown.cn/attach/image/201404/local-install-plugin-3-2.png "class=" lazy " Width= "355" height= "146" title= "Eclipse link File" alt= "Eclipse link File" style= "border:1px solid rgb (204,204,204); height: auto; "/>

Next, we save the following in the link file:

path= Plug-in Path

For example: PATH=E:/PROGRAM/ECLIPSE/MYPLUGINS/SVN, we just need to copy the plugins and features folders extracted from the plugin into the directory, and then restart Eclipse.

link file must be lowercase, and if the route delimiter is "\", it must be escaped with "\ \". For example: PATH=E:\\PROGRAM\\ECLIPSE\\MYPLUGINS\\SVN.

In the example, to facilitate unified management, we created a new myplugins directory under the Eclipse installation directory to hold the installed Eclipse plugin. Of course, you can also set the location of the plugin directory according to your personal needs. Each plug-in corresponds to one of the subdirectories (the subdirectory contains the plugin's plugins and features folders). If you have more than one plug-in, you just need to create multiple. link files in the links directory.

4. Install the plug-in locally from the merge directory

In addition, we can directly copy the files in the plugins and features directories of the plugin into the plugins and features directories of the Eclipse installation path (the two directories of the replication plug-in are pasted into the Eclipse installation directory. The system automatically merges files in the same directory as the same name).

This installation is very simple, but not conducive to the management of the Eclipse plug-in, even if you want to remove a plug-in later, can not distinguish between specific plug-in installation files. Therefore, it is not recommended to use this method.
