I cannot find how to install Apache Directory Studio under Eclipse Neon. It looks like this project requires an update. Do you have more information about this?
Regards
Ignacio
Well,
I installed Neon alongside Luna, then, as usual I did a File -> Import -> From existing installation. That installation failed for almost all packages. Then I tried to find Apache under the Eclipse Installer window and could not see anything. Finally I decided to add a new site and use the URL http://directory.apache.org/studio/update and that worked fine.
I added this plug in to my netbeans 7.2 IDE. Then, when I restarted the program and tried to open it again it did not open
as shown in this picture
I tried to restore my Windows system to previous restore point but the problem still exist.
any ideas how to solve this problem
I've tested the repository that they advised you to adding in the your Netbeans install.
But really has reference to many more plugins and features installed,
if you add this repository after upgrade the NetBeansIDE you will see that all base modules will have replaced by the development release and practically you will have another version of netbeans installed.
I advise you to uninstall your current netbeans without deleting your workspace and reinstall your netbeans downloaded directly from the official website.
And also I would advise you in the future should try the unofficial plugin in a test environment. before bringing in your work

I'd like to upgrade my Helios installation of Eclipse to Indigo. When I do, I get the following message:
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.
Software being installed: Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers 1.4.2.20120213-0813 (epp.package.jee 1.4.2.20120213-0813)
Software currently installed: Oracle GlassFish Server Tools 1.6.1.201009290929 (oracle.eclipse.tools.helios.glassfish.feature.group 1.6.1.201009290929)
So my first thought was to simply uninstall GlassFish. For the life of me, I can't figure out how and where to go to do this. I went to Help->About Eclipse...->Installation Details. The only place that it looks like I can uninstall stuff is in the "Installed Software" tab. I do not see the Oracle Glassfish package anywhere. If I go to "Feature" or "Plug-ins", I can find it just fine, but there is no option to uninstall.
So my next thought was to upgrade Glassfish. So I put the indigo repo in there, but I still get the same message when trying to update. Any ideas?
There is no mechanism within Eclipse to permanently and physically uninstall a feature and its plug-ins. The process to physically and permanently remove an undesirable feature and its plug-ins is a manual process that should be done when Eclipse is not running. In order to do, you will have to manually remove the files there associated with the feature from the eclipse/features directory and its plug-ins from the eclipse/plugins directory.
D:\Softwares\eclipse-standard-kepler-R-win32\eclipse\plugins\eclipse\

Can someone tell me how to install a map reduce (hadoop) plugin in eclipse-cpp-helios-SR2-linux ? Thanx in advance
hi
you can try this approach. Use any latest version of eclipse and than install CDT in it. This will allow you to write c/c++ application.
for your hadoop just go to you hadoop installation directory,here in contrib folder you will find eclipse plug-in in this folder you will get the jar file, just copy this file in to eclipse plug-in directory and restart the eclipse.
Now check for map-reduce perspective in window->open perspective and select build configuration according to your system
I don't know about the hadoop plug-in site if you find a site which provide hadoop plug-in than
There are two way to do it.
1:As you read over the net copy the plug-in and paste it into Eclipse plug-in folder and restart the eclipse. This is not the best way to install plug-in.
2: The proper way to install plug-in in eclipse is following :
Go to Help menu in Eclipse main window press Install new software.
Here in tab work with just put the address of website from where you want to install the plug-in.
Write any name for plug-in than look in the text box. it will provide you proper name of the plug-in and "next " tab at the bottom will be activated.
Press the next tab,It will install your plug-in .
At the end of installation just restart the eclipse to take the new setting effect.
How to export installed plugins from eclipse?
I want to use some of my installed plugins in another eclipse machine.
I don't want to download those again.

Start fresh and install plugins from an old install
The idea here is that you want to keep your old install intact, download a new indigo package (http://download.eclipse.org/) and just adds the existing plugins to your install. With Indigo this is now made super easy!
Step 1: Download and unzip your Indigo install: http://download.eclipse.org
Step 2: Import your plug-ins from your previous install by doing File > Import > Install > From existing install, pick your old install, select the plug-ins and there you go! You can chose to go piece meal, or chose to pick several entries, in any event dependency analysis will be performed to check the validity of the install.
Step 3: Click next a couple times and patiently wait for the bytes to download to your machine. Then restart and enjoy!

You can export the list of the features and plugins by going to File->Export->Install.
I’m bringing a really old thread to life here, but there’s a much more comfortable way to export your Eclipse plug-ins and use your setup on another machine now.
On http://profiles.yatta.de you can download the Yatta Launcher for Eclipse, which allows you to export your Eclipse & workspace setup (including your plug-in setup).
Export and installation are pretty straight forward:
Download the Launcher from http://profiles.yatta.de and start it
The tool will automatically discover your Eclipse installations. Find the one you want to export in the list (they are all named after your workspaces).
Click the Upload & Share button (the blue one) on the right of the entry you want to export.
(You won’t actually “share” your Eclipse or workspace with anyone. You’ll just upload a setup file with your metadata that only you have access to yourself. You could share this later, but you can also just keep it as a backup).
This solution does not only allow you to reuse your eclipse plug-in setup, but also your configured Git & task repositories and many other setup-specific settings.
Along with update sites, p2 can treat existing Eclipse installations as a source for the plugins to be installed.
If you access the Eclipse folder in another machine (which has the plugins installed) via shared folder in the network , then in your new Eclipse, open Preferences->Install/Update->Available Software Sites->Add->Local-> browse to the Eclipse->p2->org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine->profileRegistry and select the profile.
Now in the target Eclipse you can install those plugins as if you are installing from an update site.
P2 (the bundle provisioning system) provides functionalities for shared bundle pooling, see
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Getting_Started#Bundle_pooling
It seems that feature is on its way: http://bugs.eclipse.org/282419
I don't know how to export a installed plugin,
but this answer helps for reinstalling an eclipse plugin from another eclipse installation. (How Do You Reinstall Installed Eclipse Plugins?)

How To Add Perspectives In Eclipse?
You can simply copy the plug in folder from the other machine --(may be on a pendrive or cd )-- whatever suits you.
Then go to your ecplise,
File > Import... > Plug-in Development --> Plug-ins and Fragments Click "Next"
[Import From] -- Directory. Browse your plugins folder
Just Hit "Next"
From the left box, select individual or you may want to add all of it. Just hit
"AddAll ->"
And Just Hit "Next"
and there on just sit back let it do all the import work.
Dropping the right jars from your plugins directory to the target installation plugins directory should do the trick.
