I will start a new project as an Eclipse Plugin, but I found that a new major update of Eclipse will come at June. So I'm wondering, do I have to start developing on this new version or I can use Indigo to create my plugin then it can be be supported by Juno with no problem?
Thanks.
You can download Eclipse 4.2 for plug-in developers right now.
http://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-rcp-and-rap-developers/junom6
You don't have to use the 4.2 platform, but you can read the documentation, especially the changes from Eclipse 3 to Eclipse 4, and see if this impacts your plug-in.

We are currently using the eclipse 4.4.1 platform for our eclipse RCP application and want to upgrade it to the latest Eclipse platform. My question is, Is there any documented way to upgrade the same to the latest Eclipse platform or what is the documented prerequisite to upgrade the same.
Thanks in advance.
Everything that is not covered by semantic versioning of the plug-ins/bundles and features is documented in the Plug-in Migration Guide (Help > Help Contents: Platform Plug-in Developer Guide > Plug-in Migration Guide).
Is there an available plantuml plugin version compatible with Netbeans 8.1+. The one available (1.4/1.5) in the Netbeans plugin network is not.
Thanks in advance.
I wanted to play a little bit with the dart language and since recently I'm trying to switch from eclipse to IntelliJ IDEA I wanted to use that IDE. Unfortunately I can't figure out how I can create new dart project.
I've installed the dart plugin and installation looks fine - I have the plugin directory on my hard drive, dart's formatting options in settings etc. But I don't have any dart related option in the new project dialog (only java, maven, gradle, empty project etc.).
All resources I found told about using the new project dialog, or using WebStorm (like https://confluence.jetbrains.com/display/WI/Getting+started+with+Dart ).
Is it possible at all? Am I missing something?
I'm using IntelliJ IDEA 13.1.5 community edition.
EDIT:
Ticket created: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-14060
I recommend using Stagehand (http://stagehand.pub/). It's a great new command-line tool that creates well-formed Dart project folders, complete with pubspec.yaml and even build.dart for Polymer projects. The tool can create console apps, web apps, Polymer apps, and AngularDart apps.
It looks that there is a bug in community edition of 13.1.x and it won't be fixed (but it's already fixed in community edition version 14 and it works in any version of ultimate edition) - https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/WEB-14060
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
