Use links for Eclipse plug-ins

Eclipse plug-in uses the links directory:
1. Create a directory to store the newly added plug-in (for example, E:/Eclipse/pluginsnew). It may not be in eclipse, but it is important to set the link file path.

2. Create a new links directory under the eclipse directory, for example, E:/Eclipse/links. for example, easyexplorer. link, edit the file, write the absolute or relative path (excluding ""), save and exit.

3. If the removed plug-in still exists or is removed, and the plug-in is loaded again, you can delete Org. eclipse. update, and then restart eclipse to solve the problem.

 

1. Install Eclipse plug-ins.
Due to the scalability of Eclipse plug-ins, it is inevitable to install many plug-ins in eclipse. The simplest way is to copy the plug-ins directly to the plug-ins subdirectory of Eclipse, however, this may cause confusion in Plug-in management. To facilitate the management of plug-ins, provide the following methods (taking swtdesigner installation as an example ):
1. My eclipse path is E:/eclipse. Create the pluginsnew folder under the eclipse folder.
2. Download swtdesigner from http://www.swt-designer.com/( note that different eclipse versions correspond to different swtdesigner versions). decompress the package to obtain the designer_v4.3.0_for_eclipse3.1 folder containing features and Plugins.
3. copy designer_v4.3.0_for_eclipse3.1 to the myplugins folder, create the eclipse folder under the designer_v4.3.0_for_eclipse3.1 folder, and cut the features and plugins folders in designer_v4.3.0_for_eclipse3.1 to the eclipse folder. the directory structure is: e:/Eclipse/myplugins/designer_v4.3.0_for_eclipse3.1/eclipse. The final eclipse contains the features and plugins folders.
4. create a links folder under E/eclipse and create a swtdesigner. link file. The content of this file is Path = E:/Eclipse/pluginsnew/designer_v4.3.0_for_eclipse3.1 (note that the path is "/" instead "/").

Or Path = E: // eclipse // pluginsnew // designer_v4.3.0_for_eclipse3.1

Or use the Relative Path = pluginsnew/designer_v4.3.0_for_eclipse3.1.
5. Delete the org. Eclipse. Update directory in E:/Eclipse/configuration.
6. Restart eclipse. You can see the designer on the left of the window> preferences to verify that the installation is successful.

 

2. Link Configuration of Eclipse plug-in
This method is easier to manage plug-ins. It is convenient to add and delete plug-ins. Release all downloaded plug-ins to the same folder. Assume E:/Eclipse/pluginsnew. Take the tomcatplugin configuration as an example: Release tomcatplugins to E:/Eclipse/pluginsnew, the organizational folder is:
E:/Eclipse/pluginsnew

| -- Tomcatpluginv3
| -- Eclipse
|-Plugins (new, eclipse will automatically check the content in the features and plugins folders)
| --- Com. sysdeo. Eclipse. tomcat_3.0.0
After the preceding example is created, return to the eclipse folder and create a new links directory. Under this directory, create a new file tomcat. Link (with any file name ),
Content: Path = E:/Eclipse/pluginsnew/tomcatpluginv3 (let eclipse automatically check the features or plugins folder under tomcatpluginv3. Note that the path here is UNIX "/") to open eclipse,
The Tomcat option is added to the menu bar. If it fails, delete all the folders except config. ini under configuration and restart eclipse.
E:/Eclipse/
| -- Links
| --- Tomcat. Link (when other plug-ins are configured, the corresponding link file is created)
