However, when many plugins are installed, Eclipse becomes large, and the main thing is that it is not easy to update and manage many plugins. Installing the Eclipse plugin with links will solve this problem.
(The following is an example of installing the ADT plugin for Android)1, preparation if the plugin is a separate jar file, then you need to do three things, • First build a plugins folder, put the jar file in it, • Build an Eclipse folder, put the plugins into it, and finally, For example: If you are downloading a plugin called ADT, you need to build an ADT folder and put the Eclipse folder in it. (not necessarily named ADT, you can use other names, such as AAA,BB, etc.). Well, the general structure of the plugin came out, as follows Adt/eclipse/plugins/**.jar
If the plug-in is plugins and features two folders (or only the plugins folder), please build a folder called Eclipse, put the two folders above, and then build a name of Wbpro (Note: I think this is ADT, maybe the original author was wrong.) folder and put the Eclipse folder in it, the general structure of the plugin is as follows: Adt/eclipse/{plugins,features}
If you already have an Eclipse folder in your plugin, create a new ADT folder and put eclipse in it, with the structure of the plugin as follows: Adt/eclipse
2. Start the installation • Find your eclipse, build two folders under it, and one is (Transfer Note: I can change to pluginseclipse. But it doesn't work if you change it to another name. Extplugins, one is links, the structure is as follows {eclipse/extplugins,links}, put the plug-in ADT you just built into extplugins; • Then, under the Links folder, Create a Adt.link file (note: The link file name is the same as the name of the plug-in folder, i.e. "
ADT/eclipse/{plugins,features} "and
ADT. link in the "
ADT") is written inside: (path Yes, but path is not) Path=extplugins/adt, note"/"instead of" \ "(Note that the full name is Adt.link, not ADT.link.txt)
3, good, start Eclipse, in the menu bar click Window->preferences, in the popup dialog box, look at the left navigation bar, if there is your plugin name, such as Wbpro, congratulations on your plugin installation success! (Note: After the ADT plugin is installed, the Android option is seen in preferences. )
Override installation method: Unless there is a special case, it is not recommended, if the download is a jar file, please put the jar file in Eclipse/plugins, if it is other form, please overwrite the source folder
