Three methods for installing plug-ins in Eclipse

Three methods for installing plug-ins in Eclipse

-- @ Liang WP

 

There are three ways to install plug-ins in Eclipse:

 

1. Manual coverage.

Close eclipse and directly download the plug-in online. After downloading the plug-in, find the features and plugins folders in the plug-in (these two folders are the core of the plug-in ), copy the items in these two folders to features and plugins under the eclipse root directory.

This method is convenient and quick, but it is not conducive to the deletion and Management of plug-ins.

 

2. Eclipse filtering method.

Networking, start eclipse, Help-> Install New Software, click Add in the upper-right corner of the pop-up window, fill in the plug-in link in Location, Name can be left blank, and then click OK, wait a few minutes, and eclipse will retrieve the plug-ins on the link. we can select the plug-ins needed for installation.

This method is convenient and quick, but the plug-in is also completely inserted into features and plugins, which is not conducive to the deletion and Management of plug-ins.

 

3. link Method (recommended ).

For example, if you want to install a Chinese package for eclipse.

Close eclipse, download the Chinese package (INS), find the two folders features and plugins in the Chinese INS, create a folder named eclipse, and put features and plugins in the newly created eclipse, create a new folder named mongoagepack (you can understand it as needed) and place the eclipse file in mongoagepack.

Find the installation directory of eclipse, if it is D: \ eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-win32, in this directory, the new folder named extra (casual, comfortable on the line), put the previous release agepack in extra.

 

The current result is: d under the installation of eclipse (the name is eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-win32), there is a pile of things in the eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-win32, one of the folders is called extra, extra contains agepack, there is only one folder called eclipse, eclipse contains features and plugins, and features and plugins contain a lot of things.

 

In D: \ eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-win32 to create a folder named links, in links to create a txt file, named agepack, and then the txt format forced to link, and then opened in text, fill in the content, if windows fill in path = D: \ eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-win32 \ extra \ release agepack, can be abbreviated as path = \ extra \ release agepack, linux fill in path = D: /eclipse-jee-juno-SR2-win32/extra/LanguagePack.

 

Start eclipse. This time it is slow. If the interface becomes Chinese, it will be successful.

 

If you install the plug-in later, you can add things to extra and links.

To delete a link, you only need to delete the link in the links folder.
