Eclipse oxygen 2 DSL package comes with XText 2.12. However if i try to install XText on existing eclipse base, i get XText 2.13. How do i get 2.12 for installing on oxygen 2?
on the xtext update site you can find many versions. you need to untick "show latest only" http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/
and you can download zipped update sites here https://www.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/downloads/

and I followed the instructions from:

Xtext 2.0 was released with Eclipse Indigo (3.7).
Xtext 2.3 was released with Eclipse Juno (3.8/4.2).
I have developed a plugin with Xtext 2.3. I tried to install it on 3.7 but it installs Xtext 2.0.1 as a dependency, and then the editor does not seem to work. If I use Xtext 2.3 does it mean my clients have to use Juno or later, or is there another solution?
Xtext 2.3 can be installed over Indigo as well using the update site http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/ Simply add it in the Add new software dialog, and then you can install it.
On the other hand, if you want your code to work with Xtext 2.0, then you have to modify (and test) your code with Xtext 2.0 as well, at the minimum you have to update the dependencies in manifest.mf files, and also might need to regenerate the editor with Xtext 2.0, and possibly modify some of your manually written code.
I use IntelliJ 12 #IU-123.72 in a secured environment i.e, cannot directly install plugins.
The installation looks for plugins under C:\Users\username.IntelliJIdea12\config\plugins I have a downloaded version of the python plugin as a zip and I unzip the contents in the plugins folder.
This does not however bring the python plugin on board. File -> Settings -> Plugins does not show python.
What am I missing?
Update to 12.0.4 and use the Install plugin from disk... button. Pay attention to the compatibility. IDEA 12.0.x compatible Python plug-in can be downloaded here.
The latest plug-in version available in the repository is designed for IDEA 12.1 EAP.
I was tryi ng to install the freemarker plugin for eclipse Indigo on my machine which runs on Ubuntu 11. I tried to add http://www.freemarker.org/eclipse/update with the name FreeMarker to install new softwares option. But, it complained that there were no repositories. Then, IO manually tried to download the plugin file (freemarker-2.3.19.tar.gz) from http://sourceforge.net/projects/freemarker and tried to copy the contents to /usr/share/eclipse/plugins folder. But, it rejected it complaining that the format of the file contents were incompatible.
Can anyone please help me with this issue.
Thanks in advance.!
You should use the FreeMarker plugin in the JBoss Tools Project, as http://freemarker.org/editors.html says. Where did you get the link to the old plugin? (Also, freemarker-2.3.19.tar.gz is the FreeMarker distribution, and has nothing to do with Eclipse.)
What I finally did is, I downloaded Eclipse Indigo for Java EE from Eclipse official website. It had the market place from where I could easily install the JBoss plugin. All I had to do is install it from within Eclipse and could work on freemarker after that.
Is there a way to build an Eclipse Update Site so that Eclipse 3.3 will install one version of my plug-in while Eclipse 3.4 will install another version? The feature spec allows for "optional included features" but I can't see how to make them conditional on the version of the target.
Background: I've become responsible for an Eclipse extension that has half a dozen plug-ins which depend on a "support" plug-in, and the support plug-in needs to be one version for Eclipse 3.3 and a different version for Eclipse 3.4/3.5. I currently have two separate features, "extension for 3.3" and "extension for 3.4+" but I'd like to not bother my users with this detail.
