I have seen many posts about here which tell you how to uninstall a plug-in that YOU have installed. What I want to know is - How do you uninstall a plug-in that comes along with the eclipse package? I tried the installation manager but it doesnt work since this like a default plugin.
I am using IBM Rational Developers for System Z with Java version 8.3. I am trying to install GEF Zest Visualisation but since GEF Draw2D was already pre-installed in my RDZ i am not able to install what I want due to conflicting dependency.
I need GEF Zest Visualisation so that I can install Maven. Without Zest I get an error while I try installing Maven.
Is there a way to uninstall these default plug-ins? If no, then is there any workaround that I can use to install my Maven plug-in without having to use Zest?
I haven't used Rational Developer for System Z, but if it is Eclipse-based it should be the same as Rational Application Developer or Eclipse.
Open Help context menu.
Press About Rational Developer...
Click the Installation Details button.
This will open a list of installed software and you can see all the features and plug-ins that are installed.
Find and select the item you want to uninstall.
Click the Uninstall... button.
This will attempt to uninstall the selected plug-in, but you will likely encounter dependency issues if Maven requires GEF Zest Visualisation. You would need to uninstall Maven first if that happens.

The previous version of JDK Mission Control 5.5.2 bundled with Oracle JDK 7 had the possibility to add a WebLogic plug-in, which allows viewing the SQL queries, servlets between other components as seen in this image.
Then the new JDK Mission Control 7.1.2+b04 doesn't seem to have a similar plug-in or at least it's more complicated to apply it.
When trying to investigate, the JMC is pointing to
https://download.oracle.com/technology/products/missioncontrol/updatesites/oracle/7.1.2/ide/update-site-instructions/index.html
stating that the plugin must be installed via Eclipse 4.8 or later, so the latest Eclipse is 2012-12 was installed, and then the plugin with https://download.oracle.com/technology/products/missioncontrol/updatesites/oracle/7.1.2/ide/ as well, as seen in this image:
The Eclipse IDE was restarted and now it got a new icon in the menu bar:
which connects (or at least it tries to connect) with the Java processes running in this local station:
but that's not the WebLogic plug-in I expected, similar to the one available in the previous version of JMC.
Does it exist a WebLogic plug-in in JMC7.1.2 similar to the existing in JMC5.5.2?
To install WebLogic plug-in for JMC, go to Help menu and select Install New Software menu item. Expand "Mission Control (Oracle)" and then "Flight Recorder" and you will find "WebLogic Pages" plug-in. Follow the instructions on screen to complete installation of plug-in.
This is described in the Oracle JMC 7 User Guide under Install JMC Standalone Application in the "Install Plug-ins for JMC Standalone Application" sub-section.
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\
-plugins
-features
just an easy quesition but I can't find any answer in this wonderful world wide web...
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
