Reprinted from: http://qgjie456.blog.163.com/blog/static/354513672009102011355780/

 

Before installing eclipse, make sure that you have installed JDK.
1. First download the eclipse-jee-galileo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz, this is the current version of eclipse 3.4
Official download:
Http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
2. Install eclipse
After decompression, you can directly run eclipse under the directory.

3. Copy the decompressed directory to the/usr/loacl/share/directory.

4. Add menu
System ---> preferences -----> Main Menu
Edit the main menu and add the eclipse startup Method to the main menu.

2) Localization of eclipse 3.4
If you have good English, you can skip Chinese.
Eclipse 3.4 no longer provides the 3.2 Chinese Language Pack, instead of the Babel project. The Chinese Language Pack is not replaced by the 3.2 Language Pack.
Localization Method:
Open eclipse-help-software updates ....
In the displayed dialog box, select available software)
Click Add site. In the URL dialog box that appears, enter http://download.eclipse.org/policy/babel/update-site/ganymede. click OK.
Then we can see the address we added in the update dialog box. Click the triangle above to expand the language update option.
Click the triangle extension language selection option in front of language packs, and check the eclipse Language Pack for simplified Chinese option.
Click the Install button on the right of the dialog box.
OK to download and install the Chinese Language Pack. After the installation is complete, click OK. eclipse will automatically close and start. Now it is already in the Chinese version.

3) eclipse3.4 plug-in Installation Method

In the past, there were only two ways to install the Eclipse plug-in: directly copy the plug-in to the features/Plugins directory or create a link file under the links directory. the newly released eclipse 3.4 introduces another new installation method, which is more flexible. There is a dropins directory under eclipse 3.4. You only need to put the plug-in under this directory to load it. There are several formats to choose from.
1. Put the jar package directly to the dropins directory:
Eclipse/
Dropins/
Com. essiembre. Eclipse. i18n. resourcebundle_0.7.7
2. Put the traditional format in the same eclipse directory:
Eclipse/
Dropins/
Eclipse/
Features/
Plugins/
3. differentiate by plug-in name:
Eclipse/
Dropins/
Resourcebundleeditor/
Features/
Plugins/
M2eclipse/
Features/
Plugins/
4. Add links in a similar way as links:
Eclipse/
Dropins/
Xfire. Link
Dropins is newly added by eclipse3.4. The subdirectory dropins is used to store the newly added plug-ins. The original plug-ins directory is basically used for basic system functions. The difference between the two is that, the former can be added or deleted at will, and the latter is basically a readonly state. Once added, it cannot be modified. eclipse will record each added plug-in, the plug-ins will not be checked after startup.
If the plugins directory is used, a plug-in can be directly decompressed to overwrite and installed to the plugins directory. In fact, some plug-ins do not support the dropins directory and must be in the plugins directory to work normally. However, if the plug-in fails to be installed, reset is troublesome. Eclipse will not automatically restore to the initial installation status. After testing, a solution is found to replace two directories: configuration and p2 with the original eclipse file. The location of the plugins file is recorded in configuration/org. eclipse. equinox. simpleconfigurator/bundles.info, and more initialization information is recorded in the p2 directory. To Reset Eclipse3.4, the two directories must be restored to the initialization state and can be used normally.

You are advised to use the 3 or 4 installation methods to facilitate management and clear directories.

At the same time, there is also a problem. If the INS are installed first, it is very depressing to know whether the ins have been installed successfully before. I can't install the plug-in successfully even if I load the plug-in (method 3). It's okay! If you want to use Chinese characters, you may only need to finish the plug-in installation and then perform the localization. If some plug-ins have not been installed, whether the plug-ins can be installed in the Chinese language are successful or not, it is best to use the search and upgrade provided by the software in the Chinese language to add the site.
