The following uses the Chinese package as an example to describe how to install the plug-in using links:

The Chinese package is provided by the famous Babel project

The Babel project not only provides Chinese language packs for eclipse3.5 eclipse3.4 eclipse3.3 and other versions, but also provides language packs for other famous plug-ins on the eclipse platform. If you are interested, go to the download homepage of the Babel project and download eclipeclipse3.5. homepage is Region You can go to the following page to download eclipse3.4 (Ganymede): http://download.eclipse.org/technology/babel/babel_language_packs/ganymede.phpeclipse3.3 (europa): Europe: I strongly recommend that you use the (links Installation Method) provided in my blog) install the eclipse Language Pack Eclipse plug-in. There are two ways to install the Eclipse plug-in: 1. overwrite the installation method, which is common. Second, the links installation method, which is commonly used. The downloaded plug-ins may take the following forms: one is a separate JAR file, the other is two folders: plugins and features, and the other is a separate eclipse folder. Links Installation Method: (strong push) 1. preparation. If the plug-in is a separate JAR file, you need to create a plugins folder first and put the JAR file in it, create an eclipse folder, put Plugins in it, and finally, for example, if you download a plug-in named wbpro, you need to create a wbpro folder, put the eclipse folder in it. (You do not have to name it wbpro. You can use other names, such as AAA and BB. Note: Do not read this sentence first ). Well, the general structure of the plug-in is as follows: wbpro/Eclipse/plugins /**. jar if the plug-in is a plugins and features folder (or only the plugins folder), create a folder named eclipse, put the above two folders into it, and then create a folder named wbpro, put the eclipse folder in it. The general structure of the plug-in is as follows: wbpro/Eclipse/{plugins, features}. If the plug-in is an eclipse folder, create a wbpro folder, put eclipse into it. The plug-in structure is as follows: wbpro/eclipse2. Start to install and find your eclipse. Create two folders under it: extplugins and links, the structure is as follows: {Eclipse/extplugins, links}. Put the plug-in wbpro you just created into extplugins, create a TXT text in the links folder, and write it in it.: Path = extplugins/wbpro. Note that it is "/" instead of "\ references. Now, start eclipse and click WINDOW> preferences in the menu bar. In the displayed dialog box, check the navigation bar on the left. If you have a plug-in name, such as wbpro, congratulations on the successful installation of the plug-in! Overwrite the installation method: unless in special cases, this method is not recommended. If you download a jar file, put the JAR file in Eclipse/plugins. If it is in other forms, overwrite the source folder.

 

The following content comes from the network and is backed up by yourself.

Install the plug-in links mode. The installation is fast and convenient ..

1. The following describes how to install the Eclipse plug-in using links as an example. Assume that the installation path of eclipse is:

D: \ Program Files \ eclipse

1. Create a new links folder under the eclipse installation directory.

View sourceprint? 1. D: \ Program Files \ eclipse \ links

2. Create a New rsefile under the linksdirectory with a rse.txt File

D: \ Program Files \ eclipse \ links \ RSE
D: \ Program Files \ eclipse \ links \ rse.txt

Rse.txt is the configuration file of the RSE plug-in. It specifies the location of the RSE plug-in:

Path = D:/program files/Eclipse/links/RSE

The RSE folder is used to store the RSE plug-in. the directory structure of the plug-in is:

D: \ Program Files \ eclipse \ links \ RSE \ eclipse \ features
D: \ Program Files \ eclipse \ links \ RSE \ eclipse \ plugins

Also, the links.txt configuration file specifies that the RSE plug-in directory is D: \ Program Files \ eclipse \ links \ RSE. When eclipse is started, it will find D: whether the eclipse \ features and eclipse \ plugins under the \ Program Files \ eclipse \ links \ RSE Directory have plug-in files. now, the links method has been installed, and you can start eclipse to use the RSE plug-in.

2. Plug-in management

Start eclipse and choose help> Software Updates> Manage configuration... To enable or disable the plug-in.
Iii. Other supplements:

1. Plug-ins can be installed in multiple custom directories.

2. Multiple plug-ins can be installed in a custom directory.

3. The file name and extension name of The Link file can be any name, such as rse.txt and myplugin.

4. In the link file, Path = the path of the plug-in directory must be \ or/

5. The link file can have multiple lines of Path = plug-in Directory, which corresponds to multiple custom plug-in directories. The path parameter of each line will take effect.

6. There can also be multiple link files in the links directory, and the path parameter in each link file will take effect.

7. The plug-in directory can use relative paths.

8. You can create a subdirectory in the links directory to transfer unused plug-ins to this subdirectory to accelerate eclipse startup.

9. If no plug-in is visible after installation, delete the configuration/org. Eclipse. Update/directory in the eclipse installation directory and restart eclipse.
