I've been trying to install Antlrworks 2 into Netbeans, and the installer is demanding two other plugins. I have not been able to figure out where to find these, and my friend, using the same version of Netbeans, with most of the same plugins, on the same operating system, did not encounter this dialog. Any advice?

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.
I'm working in eclipse, which has Java, PHP, ant, XML
Now I need to work with C++(cygwin/CDT). So how can I add it to eclipse?
I downloaded "eclipse-SDK-4.2-win32" and installed it, but it doesn't show php plugins, though I need to work with PHP and C++.
I searched on the net to install the CDT, and its installed, I think but its not showing CDT plugins.
I've been trying to install the plugin for three days, I believe it's installed but not showing plugin CDT.
My task is Cygwin based, I need to get this to work this because I am very new to this job.
This might help, regarding the CDT part:
http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/home/ehchua/programming/howto/EclipseCpp_HowTo.html
Once installed, CDT provides a specific perspective you can use to write, compile and execute C and C++ programs.
Note it's not enough to just install this Eclipse plugin: a C/C++ compiler must also be installed separately, as described in the above link.
for PHP, you need another plugin, called PDT :

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.

i go to eclipse download website
i find Eclipse CDT - a version of eclipse that is standalone
in my standard Eclipse SDK(not cdt)
i can do this:
Help->install new software-> then i get a window popup and ask me to give the url
it looks like this:
so then you can install it
this is a separate standalone Eclipse CDT :
this is a standalone Eclipse SDK:
my question is:
1.what is the difference between separate Eclipse CDT and installing CDT plugin onto Eclipse SDK OR are they same thing?
2. what is better? is it better to use a separate Eclipse CDT or just install a plugin inside my Eclipse SDK?
thanks in advance!
Short answer: there is no important difference[1] between the two.
Longer answer: The Eclipse IDE is nothing more than a bunch of plugins that work together to create the functionality for code editing (and other things).
When you go to http://eclipse.org/downloads, you'll see a bunch of different packages. Each package provides a certain set of features, but this is no more than a convenience so that you don't have to install the vanilla SDK and then install the stuff that you really need on top of that. The php dev will not need the C++ compiler and vice-versa. But, you can install it if you want. At it's core, the same small set of plugins are re-used between all distributions.
You can compare the different distributions here: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/compare.php
[1]: Actually, the difference is that the SDK includes source code for all features as well as the Java compiler and plugin development tools. The C++ tools do not include these.
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
