Eclipse Plug-in--link installation method after the failure of the solution

When you install Eclipse plug-ins offline, you often fail with the link method.

I. Common failure conditions

When the link is ready, Eclipse starts and no information pops up.

Check the current workspace ——. metadata ——. log file and find an error message:

No repository found at file: {folder path}

This means that eclipse does not find the plugin installed under this folder.

Second, the solution

First, under the folder in the error prompt,

There are two folders after the plugin decompression--plugins and features;

Start Eclipse,

View Windows--preferences--install/update--available Software Sites

The list of installed plugins is listed, and if you already have a plugin that you intend to install,

Indicates that the plugin has been installed by using the online installation method;

(Note that if you still can't use it, keep looking)

Delete the plugin that you intend to install and restart eclipse;

If the plug-in is still unavailable, check the link file, and if you use a slash "/", the backslash "\ \" is changed.

For example, the content of the link file for the Maven plugin:

Path=d:\\pro\\eclipse64\\myplugins\\maven

Restart Eclipse to use the appropriate plugin.
