eclipse3.4 and its plug-in installation (compatible with eclipse3.5)Ref url:http://qgjie456.blog.163.com/blog/static/354513672009102011355780/
Before installing Eclipse, make sure you have the JDK installed.
1, first download eclipse-jee-galileo-sr1-linux-gtk.tar.gz, this is the current 3.4 version of Eclipse
Official Download:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
2. Install Eclipse
After extracting, you can run eclipse directly under the directory.
3. Copy the extracted directory to the/usr/loacl/share/directory.
4. Add Menu
System---> Preferences-----> main Menu
Edit the main menu to add the Eclipse startup mode to the main menu.
2) Eclipse 3.4 in Chinese
Have English good, can not carry on the Chinese.
Eclipse 3.4 No longer provides 3.2 of that Chinese language pack, and by the Babel project instead, Chinese is not as good as 3.2. Download the language pack and cover it up.
The method of Chinese:
Open Eclipse-help-software Updates ....
In the dialog box that opens, select the second item above (Available software)
Click the Add Site button, pop up the URL dialog box, enter: Http://download.eclipse.org/technology/babel/update-site/ganymede, click OK button
Then you can see the address we added in the Update dialog box, click on the triangle above, expand the language update option
Click the Language packs Front triangle to expand the language selection option and tick the eclipse Language Pack for Simplified Chinese option
Click the Install button on the right side of the dialog box
Ok start to download and install the Chinese language pack, after the installation is complete, click the OK button, eclipse will automatically close and start, it is already in the Chinese version of the
3) eclipse3.4 plug-in installation method
There are two ways to install the Eclipse plug-in before, directly copy the plugin to the Features/plugins directory or create a linked file in the links directory. The newly released Eclipse 3.4 also introduces another new installation path that is more flexible. Eclipse 3.4 has a dropins directory, as long as the plug-in into the directory can be loaded, there are several formats to choose from.
1. In the simplest, put the jar package directly into the Dropins directory:
eclipse/
dropins/
com.essiembre.eclipse.i18n.resourcebundle_0.7.7
2. Traditional format, unified into an Eclipse directory:
eclipse/
dropins/
eclipse/
features/
plugins/
3. Differentiate by plug-in name:
eclipse/
dropins/
resourcebundleeditor/
features/
plugins/
m2eclipse/
features/
plugins/
4. Add links similar to Links:
eclipse/
dropins/
Xfire.link
Dropins is Eclipse3.4 new, sub-directory dropins, used to put the user to add new plugin, and the original plugins directory, the basic function of the system, 2 of the difference: the former can be arbitrarily added to delete, The latter is basically a readonly state, added can no longer be modified, eclipse will be added to each of the plugin records, and later launch will no longer check these plugin.
If using the plugins directory, under a plug-in direct decompression overwrite installation to the plugins directory, there are some plugin do not support Dropins directory, must be in the plugins directory to work properly. But once the plugin failed to install, it would be more troublesome to reset. Eclipse does not automatically revert to the initial installation state, tested and found a solution that replaces 2 directories with the original Eclipse files: the Configuration and P2 directories. The plugins file location 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 then they can be used normally.
Personal recommendations to adopt the 3rd, 4 kinds of installation methods, so easy to manage, clear directory.
At the same time, there is a problem, if the first installation of the Chinese-made plug-in how to install the unsuccessful, this is very frustrating, do not know whether there is no first Chinese and then install a successful friend. I'm dead. Can not install the success, only unloading the reload, first loaded plug-in (mode 3), so all OK. If you want to use Chinese friends may only install the plug-in after the completion of the Chinese. No test installed a part of the plug-in, the Chinese re-installed plug-in can be successful, the best use of the software with the search upgrade, add site, specific URL:

eclipse3.5 is not the same as the previous directory structure, it has no links directory, instead of the links directory is the Dropins directory.
First, establish a link file inside with path= plug-in installation location.
Second, put the link file in the Dropins.
Third, the plug-in inside the Stie.xml file deleted.
Restart Eclipse.
Eclipse startup times Wrong code=-1:
Workaround:
Remove the Eclipse.ini file from the Eclipse directory and restart Eclipse.

I am using the Eclipse 3.4.2 JEE bundle directly.
By putting the plug-in directly under the Dropins, Eclipse starts scanning directories named features and plugins directories, unlike previously required strict directory structures and. eclipseextension
