Single work with the add on the right, pop-up dialog box, where the Name text box to enter the display plug-in name (the name is arbitrary, it is only used to identify the installation item), click the Archive button on the right side of the location, select the local compressed package in the popup dialog box, click the OK button, From the dialog box, select the plug-in item you want to install or upgrade, click the Next button, and wait for the plug-in installation to complete.

To install the Eclipse plugin manually, install it directly:

Easy to use, but very bad, because it is easy to cause confusion: If you install a lot of plug-ins, you may not be able to accurately determine which eclipse is the default plug-ins, which are later extended plug-ins. If you want to deactivate, you need to remove the contents of these plug-ins from the Plugins River features folder in Eclipse, and the installation and uninstallation process is more complex.

Extended Installation:

The expansion of the installation mode allows each plugin to be placed in a separate folder, so the structure is very clear. If you need to uninstall a plugin, simply delete the link file for that plugin. The installation method is as follows:
1. New Links folder under Eclipse installation path
2, in the Links folder, the establishment of the Xxx.link file, the file name can be arbitrary, but for easy management and better readability, it is generally recommended that the file's main filename is the same as the plug-in name, the file name suffix link.
3, edit the content of Xxx.link, the file usually only need the following line:
Path=<pluginpath>
Path= is fixed in the above content, and <pluginPath> is the extension installation path of the plugin.
4. Create a new Eclipse folder under the <pluginPath> path in the Xxx.link file, and then create the plugins and features folders in the Eclipse folder.
5. Copy the contents of the plugins and features folders in the plugin into the plugins and features folders created above, and restart Eclipse to complete the installation.
