Another effective third-party plug-in Installation Method in eclipse

Eclipse is a plug-in-based development method. It is inevitable that many third-party plug-ins need to be installed in eclipse in projects. In fact, the third-party plug-in is nothing more than one or more jar packages. You need to introduce several jar packages directly to the Plugins directory. However, there are too many jar packages in the directory, and sometimes the jar package upgrade may be involved, which is complicated. Therefore, you can create another file to store the third-party plug-in package. You only need an associated file to associate the above files. In this way, the dependency and Management of third-party packages can be easily solved. Follow these steps to create two folders, links and ext-plugins, In the eclipse root directory. The links directory stores a series of configuration files, which are used to store the directory where the third-party jar package is located, while ext-plugins stores the jar package. The details are as follows:

Files in links:

The jar package file in ext-plugins:

The configuration of each line in links is Path = ***, and ** indicates the position of the plug-in ext-plugins. For example, the configuration of jadclipse is:

Path = ext-plugin/jadclipse

Using this method can effectively manage many third-party plug-in packages, which is of great help for later plug-in upgrades.
