As we all know, MyEclipse is a very powerful Java IDE, and it has a lot of open source free and easy to use plug-ins, these plugins for our development process has brought a lot of convenience. Plug-ins are targeted, for example, if you do Android development, you may need an ADT (Android development Tools) plugin, and if you are a front-end development siege, then you probably like to use the Aptana (open source, javascript plugin) plugin ... MyEclipse official version comes with a lot of rich plug-ins, such as "housekeeping" of the MyEclipse plug-ins, git code management plug-ins, maven plugins, etc., but these plug-ins may not be able to meet your needs, today, Super super to bring you myeclipse install plug-in several methods.

There are three main ways to install plug-in MyEclipse (Eclipse): 1, on-line installation, 2, offline decompression installation, 3, local link installation. The following is an example of the SVN plugin, for everyone to introduce:

First, MyEclipse online installation plug-in

The students who have used eclipse should have some knowledge of this way, this way is through a plugin installed URL, in the Eclipse/myeclipse through the menu Help->install New software...->add ... Complete in turn. After the MyEclipse2013, added a new method of installing the plug-in online, that is, install from Catalog, it is also more convenient. Here are two ways to install plug-ins in MyEclipse:

1.1 Install from Site ...

(1) Open MyEclipse, find the top menu bar help (Helpful)-install from Site ... (Installed from the website), such as:

(2) Click Install from Site ... will appear after you choose the installation address of the interface, click Add ... (add) button, fill in the name (plug-in name can be random) and location (plug-in online installation address, you can go to the plug-in website to find the corresponding online installation address), such as:

(3) After adding the finished, click OK, the interface appears:

(4) Select all options, all the way next down, you can install successfully ~ ~

1.2 Install from Catalog ...

(1) According to the first step above, find the top menu bar help (Helpful)-install from Catalog ... (Installed from the directory), which is the previous install from site, and then the following interface appears:

(2) The directory can search for relevant plug-ins, you can also see the more popular plug-ins, they can find the appropriate plug-in to install the installation Oh, click the Install button, all the way to agree to the terms, Next button can be installed after completion.

Second, myeclipse offline decompression installation plug-in

Download the plugin's offline install ZIP archive, for example, in this article, we download the SVN plugin compression package on the SVN web side site-1.8.22.zip , the file is as follows:

2.1 Unzip to the corresponding folder mode installation

(1) There are two folders: plugins features , the plug-in compression package plugins and featrues two folders inside of all the files extracted, into the MyEclipse installation directory corresponding to the plugins and featrues the two folders:

(2) After restarting the MyEclipse, complete the installation ~ ~ ~

2.2 Unzip to Dropins plugin folder mode installation

(1) Unzip all the files in the plugins and featrues two folders, and put them in the Dropins directory under the MyEclipse installation directory:

(2) Still restart MyEclipse after installation

Third, MyEclipse local link installation plug-in (recommended installation method)

The above methods are relatively convenient, fast, online installation, or as long as the plug-in folder under the features, plugins copy to the MyEclipse installation directory features, plugins below can be. However, this installation method has a serious flaw, that is, after installation, is actually not to uninstall, the installation process is irreversible, can not be flexibly configured to manage installed plug-ins. And not all of the missing files can be installed this way. For example, if you suddenly want to uninstall a plugin, or want to reinstall MyEclipse, you will be entangled in the situation, so, the previous two is called "Intrusive installation Plug-in" installation method is not recommended, the following is our final recommended link myeclipse "Non-intrusive installation plug-in" Installation method

(1) Create a folder on your computer's free disk to store the Myeclipse/eclipse plugin specifically. For example, my computer has such a folder: D:\ProgramData\MyEclipse , in the future, each plug-in in this folder to create a separate folder, for example, the SVN plugin, in the D:\ProgramData\MyEclipse folder to create an SVN subfolder, the SVN plugin to compress the package inside the features, Extract the plugins folder into this subfolder:

(2) in the Dropins subfolder of the MyEclipse installation folder to create a svn.link file (file name itself, suffix .link ), which is written in the file just extracted features, plugins folder parent directory, in this article, The contents of the Svn.link file are:path=D:\\ProgramData\\MyEclipse\\svn

(3) After restarting MyEclipse, click menu Window-preferences (Preferences)

(4) If you see an SVN setting in your preferences, the SVN plugin has been installed successfully. Similarly, other plug-ins are installed in similar ways.

Summarize:

Online installation, offline coverage installation, link installation method is the main way to install plug-in Myeclipse/eclipse, which, online installation, offline coverage installation belongs to the "intrusive installation plug-in", if you want to uninstall or reinstall, will be more troublesome; Link installation method is recommended installation method, Whether installation, unloading, reloading, is conducive to maintenance and management.
