Several ways that eclipse installs plug-ins

Google turned to idea some time ago, seemingly shaken up the location of eclipse as the IDE's leader in Java, causing a collective scolding from Eclipse fans and idea fans. Similar to the curse of the war has always been heard, seemingly programmers are more, maybe we are all technical background, are very confident. In fact, I think there is no need and no need to debate, the use of what to develop usually depends on the external objective environment, rather than depending on the subjective factors.

One of the charms of Eclipse, then, is to support extensible plugins to enrich their capabilities, which is also based on open source thinking. The specific use of how to install plug-ins, depends on what we get.

1. Get a string of URLs, such as http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x help-->install new Software-->add, give the plugin a name, and then enter the link, OK after , waiting for Eclipse to automatically retrieve, this way to establish in the case of good speed, after the retrieval is complete, select the required components, Next-->finish, restart Eclipse, plug-in installation is complete.

2. Got a jar package

Put the jar package directly under Eclipse\plugins, restart Eclipse, and the plug-in installation is complete.

3. Get a compressed package with a folder similar to the package name, such as Com.sysdeo.eclipse.tomcat_3.2.0.beta3

Put this folder similar to the package name directly under Eclipse\plugins, restart Eclipse, plug-in installation is complete.

4. Get a compressed package with plugins and features two folders

① the jar packages under plugins and features respectively to Eclipse\plugins and Eclipse\features, restart Eclipse, and plug-in installation is complete.

② This situation can use link to install plug-ins, the operation of the steps, in any directory on the hard disk to create a folder to store link plug-ins, such as: D:\myPlugins, plugin and feature to D:\myPlugins\ your plug-in name \ Under Eclipse, note that this Eclipse folder must be dead. Then in the Eclipse installation directory, create a new links folder, create a new txt inside, the content is path=d:\\myplugins\\ your plug-in name, the path is \ \ or/, Finally, rename the txt to your plugin name. Link, restart Eclipse, plug-in installation is complete.

Install plug-ins The most elegant way should be the last link, should also be the most troublesome, this way can better manage their own plug-in, Plug and unplug at any time, a plug-in do not want to use, the corresponding link file can be deleted.

In fact, the use of what kind of installation does not matter, do not force yourself to use link, depends on what you get the right way to install. Plug-ins should be managed to avoid reloading the eclipse and the plugin will be reinstalled as well.
