Install plug-ins in eclipse in link mode

Today, we need to install the SVN plugin for Eclipse, and I think the link is easy to manage so I intend to install it in this way.

The installation directory for Eclipse on my computer is E:\tools\eclipse below to start the installation

1. Create a new 2 folder in Eclipse's installation directory, typically myplugins and links

E:\tools\eclipse\MYplugins E:\tools\eclipse\links

2. Create a new folder in the Myplugins folder named for the plug-in name you need to install I'm subclipse.

E:\tools\eclipse\MYplugins\subclipse

3. Create a new folder named Eclipse in Subeclipse

E:\tools\eclipse\MYplugins\subclipse\eclipse

4, if the download of the plug-in compression package extracted from the features and plugins these 2 folders to extract the compressed package directly into the Eclipse folder

E:\tools\eclipse\MYplugins\subclipse\eclipse\features

E:\tools\eclipse\MYplugins\subclipse\eclipse\plugins

5. Go back to the Links folder in 1, create a new file named Plug-in, the file suffix is. link my subclipse.link

E:\tools\eclipse\links\subclipse.link

6, edit Subeclipse.link, in the inside write the 2nd step of the Path text content is:

Path=e:/tools/eclipse/myplugins/subclipse

Note: I am used in the Windows environment/can also use \ \

7. Restart Eclipse to see the plugin options in Show view.

8, restart after unsuccessful, first check to ensure that the previous steps are not error, you can try the following actions.

The org.eclipse.update in the configuration folder in the Eclipse directory is removed before you restart eclipse

You can also try to edit the Config.ini file Org.eclipse.update.reconcile=false in the configuration folder under the Eclipse directory, change False to True, and restart eclipse

Generally, steps down can be installed successfully.
