[Eclipse diagram] Easy installation of Eclipse Plug-ins with manage Configurationn

Previous plug-ins using eclipse are copied directly below the plugins and features directories below Eclipse, and sometimes want to share plug-ins with classmates, but the compression package has been deleted, to find the appropriate Plug-ins directory is cumbersome. Later, an article was found on Csdn, "Eclipse uses the links directory to configure Plug-ins (lomboz3.0 for example)" http:// Dev.csdn.net/develop/article/45/45474.shtm, really pleasantly surprised, immediately according to the above method to configure, the results of the 1th time did not succeed, the 2nd is still unsuccessful, the first 3, 4, 5 ... is still the case. Then I suspect that it is not my machine problem, changed the students to try the machine, the result is still the same. Depressed for several days on this matter. Have not installed to the present success, if which can instruct, greatly appreciates. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "Urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"/>

Until yesterday, when I installed Eclipseme, I found that I could install it using Help=>software updates=>find and install, and that I could install to the specified directory. But not all plugin will have the update site package, at this point if the use of this method is not feasible. The following prompts appear:

<?xml:namespace prefix = v ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"/>

What about the other installation packages? I went to the directory installed by Eclipseme and found that the directory structure of how links are installed is extremely similar:

However, the difference is that there is also a. eclipseextension file in Eclipse. I think, is not. eclipseextension file is a key, so I find the eclipseextension in Help, and really found the relevant information. Help mentioned, as long as the layout in the following form:

My Plug-ins

This directory name cannot be changed

File name cannot be changed

You can install Plug-ins by using Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration.

Let me describe the process of installing lomboz3.01 and tomcatplugin in a graphical form:

The eclipse and Plug-ins used are as follows:

Eclipse-sdk-3.0.1-win32

emf-sdo-xsd-sdk-2.0.1

gef-sdk-3.0.1

lomboz.301

TomcatPluginV3

jakarta-tomcat-5.0.29

Lomboz Installation steps:

1, the emf-sdo-xsd-sdk-2.0.1, gef-sdk-3.0.1, lomboz.301 solution to the directory you want to install under, such as D:/plug-in

2, emf-sdo-xsd-sdk-2.0.1, gef-sdk-3.0.1 directory structure without modification, directly under the Eclipse directory plus the ". Eclipseextension" file, as shown below:

 

 

lomboz.301 directory needs to be adjusted, add a layer of Elclipse directory, adjust the following figure:

 

Also, add the ". Eclipseextension" file under the Eclipse directory.

The preparations are complete, and the following begins the formal installation of Lomboz:

3. Launch Eclipse, select Menu Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration, enter

Product configration window:

 

 

 

4, click Add Extension Location, go to browse folder window, select emf-sdo-xsd-sdk-2.0.1 directory

 

 

5, click OK and then pop up the following dialog box:

 

 

If you are installing only one plug-in, you can choose Yes to restart Eclipse. But I didn't have to continue installing plugins gef-sdk-3.0.1 and lomboz.301, so select No.

6, the same way to install gef-sdk-3.0.1 and lomboz.301, as follows:

7, after the installation of lomboz.301, we can choose to restart Eclipse.

 

 

 

8, after the restart Eclipse, select Window=>preferences, we can see the Preferences window has appeared lomboz option, indicating that the installation has been successful ...

 

9, after the successful installation of Lomboz to configure the specific steps in the "graphical use of eclipse3+lomboz3+tomcat development JSP--1." (HTTP://DEV.CSDN.NET/DEVELOP/ARTICLE/42 /42567.shtm) has been explained in detail in the article, no longer repeat.

The following is the same method for installing TOMCATPLUGINV3:

1, decompression, get the following directory:

 

2, add Eclipse and plugins directory, change the directory structure as follows:

3. Also, add the ". Eclipseextension" file under the Eclipse directory.

4. Launch Eclipse, select Menu Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration, enter

Product configration window, click Add Extension Location, go to browse folder window, select TomcatPluginV3 directory:

5, restart Eclipse, you can see the toolbar more than three kittens icon, indicating the successful installation. Of course, the next to the corresponding configuration, the same can be referred to: "Graphical use of Eclipse3+lomboz3+tomcat development JSP" article.

Through the installation of Lomboz and tomcatPluginV3 two plug-ins, I believe you have been aware of the use of manage configuration to install Plug-ins. You can install some other plug-ins to test the Manage configuration install plug-ins convenient.
