When I want to create a new Category or Command for an extension point from Extension tab in the Plug-in Manifest Editor, most of the tutorials and books tell to right-click on org.eclipse.ui.view and choose New -> Category.
However, when I right-click and then select New, the only choice I get is Generic.
Anyone knows how I can create a new Category from Extension tab?
I'm using Eclipse Indigo Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Seems that there is something wrong with PDE... You'd better use one of the following package:
"Eclipse Modeling Tools, 274 MB",
"Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers, 227 MB",
"Eclipse Classic ".

I was following create a new JavaFX project help topic, but I cannot find JavaFx in the left menu as shown in the help topic. I am using IntelliJ Community edition (2020.3.1).
According to JetBrains website both community and ultimate editions support JavaFx.
In the linked help topic there is a info bubble just below the "Create a new project" section saying following
If you cannot find JavaFX in the New Project wizard, make sure that
the bundled JavaFX plugin is enabled in Settings/Preferences |
Plugins.
So you have to enable JavaFx plugin in order to see JavaFx option in the new projects left menu.
I used to develope my own plugins to add some funcionalities to an existing eclipse tool. I just used to add my plugin (jar file) into the plugin folder's tool and it contributed fine adding my own menus into the tool but it's not working anymore since they migrated.
The eclipse tool migrated from 3.x version to some hibrid between 3.x and 4.x. My old plugin used extentions to contribute menus. I tried a test plugin with e4 but it seems like if the eclipse tool is not reading anymore the plugin folder when I drop my plugin there... I cannot modify the eclipse tool, just try to add my own plugins to contribute with the application. Could somebody give a hand with it?
I've just started developing my first plugin so apologies if this is obvious.
I'm trying to write a plugin that gets method usages and does something with them.
I've seen references to CallHierarchy and SearchEngine. Which is the correct one to use these days and why, when I use "Open Type", can it not be found? Is there a dependency I'm missing or something?
These classes are part of the Eclipse JDT plugins and are not normally included in the search done by Open Type.
To get 'Open Type' to look everywhere for the classes open the Preferences and go to the 'Plug-in Development' page. Select the 'Include all plug-ins from target in Java search' option.
You will also need to install the Eclipse SDK to get the source of these plug-ins. The SDK is part of the Eclipse update site http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.7 for Eclipse Oxygen.
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
