Installation and configuration of Eclipse plug-ins

1. Be sure to be compatible with the eclipse version when downloading the plug-in.

2. When installing the Eclipse plug-in, be sure to install other plug-ins, which is easily ignored.

3. Sometimes the Eclipse plug-in is not loaded, and there are many solutions. To sum up:
A. Delete the entire directory/Eclipse/configuration/org. Eclipse. Update/and restart eclipse.
B. Add the-clean parameter when starting eclipse, for example, D: \ eclipse \ eclipse.exe-clean.
C. If the plug-in cannot be found at eclipse startup, solution: add a line of osgi. checkconfiguration = true to the/configuration/config. ini file.
In this way, it will find and install the plug-in. After finding the plug-in, you can comment out the line, so that the plug-in will not appear slow after each start.

4. To facilitate management of many plug-ins, we recommend that you install various Eclipse plug-ins using dropins.
For example, if I want to install eclemma, the eclipse unit test coverage plug-in, I will create a new configuration file eclemma.txt under eclipse \ dropinsproject. The content is as follows:
Path = D :\\ eclipseplugin \ eclemma ("d :\\ eclipseplugin" is the installation path of all my Eclipse plug-ins. "eclemma" is the directory after the plug-ins are decompressed)
Restart eclipse.
