Lab Environment: Windows7, Eclipse 4.3 (Kepler), JDK 1.6
official website: http://www.pyde v.org/download.html probably explains that Pydev is related to eclipse and JDK versions, and it is recommended to use the new version
carefully.
Here you can find the installation sources for each of the historical versions of Pydev: http://www.pydev.org/update_sites/
Option 1: Automatic installation
Eclipse-->help-->install new Software-->add Add installation source Select Install
Method 2: Manual
Download the plugin and copy the features and plugins to the installation directory of Eclipse
Try 1: Automatic installation fails, maybe the version is too new
Automatic installation, restart Eclipse,eclipse-->windows-->preferences did not find Pydev, the installation failed. Suspect is that the added installation source is http://pydev.org/updates/, which will get the latest version of Pydev6.0 by default, but may not match your eclipse and JDK.
Try 2: Manual installation is successful, the version is too old to unload
Download the old version of Pydev1.6, copy the features and plugins to the installation directory of Eclipse, restart Eclipse,eclipse-->windows-->preferences did not find Pydev, failed.
Look at the list of installed plugins, Eclipse-->help-->about eclipse-->installation Details, Did not find Pydev1.6, but saw just automatic installation of Pydev6.0, handy on the Pydev6.0 unloading, restart Eclipse, unexpectedly found Pydev1.6 have, instructions manual installationPydev1.6 is OK, just might have clashed with Pydev6.0 did not show up.
But I don't.pydev1.6 is too old, want to unload pydev1.6, but found not unloading, finally can only return to features and plugins directory search Pydev all killed.
Reflection, the way to manually install plug-ins is very overbearing, will skip version conflict check (if you use automatic installation, will check version conflicts), and even can not uninstall.
Try 3:
Two experience, manual installation and automatic installation can actually be, but the automatic installation of the plug-in management will be better, so choose the automatic installation method.
Browse Pydev official website, find here can find to the installation source for each historical version of Pydev:http://www.pydev.org/update_sites/, choose a less recent version of Pydev4.5, the installation source is https://dl.bintray.com/fabioz/pydev/4.5.0
