1. decompress the plug-in to the plug-in installation directory, such as the Directory D: \ eclipse \ myplugins.
2. the plugin installation directory may be as follows:
This is the directory level required by a standard link!
D: \ eclipse \ myplugins \ Tomcat [after decompression, the original name is too long and I changed the name :)]
D: \ eclipse \ myplugins \ Tomcat \ eclipse [required]
D: \ eclipse \ myplugins \ Tomcat \ eclipse \ features [required, empty folder is also OK]
D: \ eclipse \ myplugins \ Tomcat \ eclipse \ plugins [required, empty folder is OK]
========================================================== ============
Plug-in data file location, such as Tomcat plugin, some plug-ins may also have something in the features folder
D: \ eclipse \ myplugins \ Tomcat \ eclipse \ plugins \ com. sysdeo. Eclipse. atat_3.0.0
3. Create a directory named links in the eclipse installation directory, for example, D: \ eclipse,
Create a link file in the links directory (as long as it complies with standard text files, the file name and extension name are not important), such as Tomcat. Link
File Content:
Path = myplugins/tomcat
Because D: \ eclipse \ myplugins is in the eclipse installation directory, you can also write
Path = D:/Eclipse/myplugins/tomcat
4. Start eclipse and install the plug-in. If you want to temporarily disable the plug-in, you only need to delete the tomcat. Link file.
Note:
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 myplugin.txt and goodplugin.
4. 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.
5. There can also be multiple link files in the links directory, and the path parameter in each link file will take effect.
6. The plug-in directory can use the relative path. If we create the myplugins directory in the eclipse installation directory, as shown in Figure 3 above.
