Eclipse cannot find help-> Software Update-> Find and install

Eclipse is an open-source and Java-based scalable development platform. In itself, it is only a framework and a set of services, used to build a development environment through plug-in components. Fortunately, eclipse comes with a standard plug-in set, including Java development tools (jdt ).

When we need to use some eclipse extension functions, apart from Method 1: Download The Eclipse plug-in and place it in the plugins folder of the installation directory. Sometimes, due to functional requirements and resource limitations, we will adopt method 2 to install the required plug-ins online due to version inconsistencies and other factors.

I often cannot find the help-> Software Update-> Find and install option when installing the Eclipse plug-in. Sometimes, after searching online, I remember that I forgot it next time, therefore, we plan to record it through blog. The solution is:

(1) Open preferences under window in the eclipse menu bar;

(2) Select General> capabilities, and select classic update in the window on the right;

As shown in,

3) Click OK to view the Help menu item again!

 

In addition:

Use: Install new software-> install-> select file-> name-> select Check box-> next-> Accept-> finish.
