linux - Easy way of installing Eclipse plugins on Ubuntu -


i'm running eclipse (versions 3.6 , 3.5) on ubuntu , i'm having trouble installing eclipse plugins.

there easy way install eclipse plugins in eclipse, doesn't work me on ubuntu! way works under windows , mac osx.

just in tutorial, create folder inside eclipse sdk folder named links.
in folder, create file eclipse-cpp-helios-linux-gtk.lnk or eclipse-cpp-helios-linux-gtk.link contains line:

path=/home/taher/opt/eclipse/third-party-eclipse-links/eclipse-cpp-helios-linux-gtk 

and save it, when start eclipse doesn't recognize plugin!

how can resolve problem?

with eclipse galileo (3.5) or helios (3.6), rather recommend external directory called 'mydropins' (for instance), can reference eclipse.ini, option:

-dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory=c:/prog/java/eclipse_addons 

this called shared dropins folder.
see in so answer example of plugin deployment in shared dropins folder.


(your link refers previous provisioning mechanism, pre-p2.
p2 new provisioning system introduced late in eclipse3.4, refined (debugged?) in eclipse 3.5 , 3.6.
see supported dropins formats check how can organize own personal dropins folder (that can reuse between several eclipse installations)


you said using:

-dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory=/home/taher/opt/eclipse/third-party-eclipse-links 

that means, under /home/taher/opt/eclipse/third-party-eclipse-links, you:

  • won't have .link file
  • will copy:
     eclipse-cpp-helios-linux-gtk       eclipse         features         plugins 

note: structure within eclipse-cpp-helios-linux-gtk should 1 describe above, p2 pick up.
