We are currently using the eclipse 4.4.1 platform for our eclipse RCP application and want to upgrade it to the latest Eclipse platform. My question is, Is there any documented way to upgrade the same to the latest Eclipse platform or what is the documented prerequisite to upgrade the same.
Thanks in advance.
Everything that is not covered by semantic versioning of the plug-ins/bundles and features is documented in the Plug-in Migration Guide (Help > Help Contents: Platform Plug-in Developer Guide > Plug-in Migration Guide).

I have an existing eclipse installation to which I want to import DS-5 as a plugin. Is this supported for the paid versions, Professional and Ultimate edition?
DS-5 can be imported to Eclipse as a plugin. The page http://ds.arm.com/ds-5-community-edition/getting-started-update-site/ has details of how to install the plugin.
By default, you will get the Community edition's features. Features available across different editions can be seen at http://ds.arm.com/ds-5/compare-ds-5-editions/.
DS-5 plugin version contains full Streamline support. You can unlock this by buying either Professional or Ultimate edition license and setting it up. However, DS-5 plugin version does not support tools like FVP, ARM compiler and DS-5 Debugger.
I will start a new project as an Eclipse Plugin, but I found that a new major update of Eclipse will come at June. So I'm wondering, do I have to start developing on this new version or I can use Indigo to create my plugin then it can be be supported by Juno with no problem?
Thanks.
You can download Eclipse 4.2 for plug-in developers right now.
http://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-rcp-and-rap-developers/junom6
You don't have to use the 4.2 platform, but you can read the documentation, especially the changes from Eclipse 3 to Eclipse 4, and see if this impacts your plug-in.
I am very new to GIS. I wanted to use ESRI ArcGIS Server Java Web ADF Plug-in in Netbeans 7.0.1
But when I followed the installation guide/instruction, it failed to install because of some dependency version mismatch.
It shows ...........................
Some plugins require plugin Editor Library to be installed.
The plugin Editor Library is requested in version >= 1.9.22.1 (release version 1) but only 3.9.1.13.10 (of release version different from 1) was found. The following plugin is affected: ******ESRI ArcGIS Java ADF web controls NetBeans Module.
Any Suggestion to overcome this ??
FYI I am using Windows 7 64bit with 64bit JVM and Netbeans.
Thank you.

I just want to create a new Plugin Project based on Eclipse Helios. Normally this feature should be shipped with this version (Version: Helios Service Release 2 Build id: 20110301-1815) but I can't choose it via "file->new->Project". Do I have sth. to install previously?
Thanks a lot for any help guys ... :)
It is also possible to do plugin development with any eclipse classic version. (I am working with 4.2)
For plugin development in eclipse classic version you need to go
Help-->Install New Software--> In work with select version url provided by eclipse it self. e.g. in case of 4.2 Juno it will be Juno - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
It will render all the possible plugin provided by eclipse it self.
In that list there will a Eclipse plugin development environment in General purpose tools.
Or you can get that one by writing plug in filter text box.
Select Eclipse plugin development environment and install it.
Now you can able to do plugin development in classic version also.
Hope this will be helpful.
Install Eclipse for RCP and RAP developers.
If you already installed Eclipse you can add on the Plug-in Environment from within Eclipse
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/273044/
The Plugin Perspective is not installed.
To get it: Help->Install New Software
Work With: --All Available Sites--
In the Filter Box, type "Plug-in"
Look for something that says "General Purpose Tools" and expand it.
Look for "Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment"
Click Next a few times and install it, then restart.
Exact verbiage may depend on your Eclipse version.
I am using "eclipse-rcp-helios-SR1-win32-x86_64"
64-bit eclipse running on JDK.
I am trying to add an action in my plugin via menu contribution. When I add "org.eclipse.ui.menus," right-click on it then select "New," I only the "Generic" option. I am expecting to see "menuContibution"
The issue is described in detail here, which also seems to include the solution: link
From what I understand, the version of eclipse I have - helio SR1 - is an SDK version and should have the source included in the package. I am not sure what I need to do to make those additional options show up.
if you have the "Generic" it means that you don't have the source plugins. But you have downloaded the right package (RCP one). I guess your download might be corrupted. Can you try downloading it again from a different mirror?
i am try to this answer is useful.
step-1: Eclipse menu bar Select Help menu
step-2: select Install New Software
step-3: Eclipse project update link (Required version) below image
step-4: Choose Eclipse plugin Development Tool and
step-5: After Next button click to finish.
Eclipse can Restart after working successful.
Installing Eclipse plugin Development Tool, as per Bharat Zala answer, is not enough. It still did not work for me:
I had to install Eclipse SDK and Eclipse Platform SDK packages:
Then it finally worked:
Note:
Lars Vogel in his book "Eclipse Rich Client Platform", in chapter 8 Install Eclipse IDE for RCP development, he advises for to
Download the Eclipse Software Development Kit (SDK) as a recommended Eclipse edition for RCP/PDE development.
Most people probably have installed more mainstream Eclipse editions like Eclipse for Java developers. Installing Eclipse SDK and/or Eclipse Platform SDK as packages to them later should re-create SDK installation as advised by Lars.
It did not work for me even after installing both.
I did go Update site " http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.5" and when it lists the different components.
Please unflag the "Group items by category" check box and Install "Eclipse RCP SDK" and related components.
Thant should fix the issue.
Thanks
