Eclipse new plugin Project: Not choosable - eclipse-plugin

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.

Does it exist a Weblogic plug-in for Java Mission Control 7.1.2?

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.

Creating new dart project in Intellij IDEA 13.1.5 community edition

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

Eclipse Integrated development environment

I have an IDE for java (and android), also recently have downloaded the ide for php development.
Is it possible to use both (not at the same time) ide's from the same application?
Now i have eclipse juno for java and eclipse luna for php...
I managed to download c++ ide into the eclipse version that i used for java.
Basically look for p2 software repository of the IDE of your choice and paste the link into: work with, under install new software, under help.
Now i have 2 different IDE's working under same application (should be possible to have more)
Also a comment to the downvoter: It is not wise to downvote without explaining the reason of your action....
Some food for thought...

eclipse cdt - 2 ways to install it, confused about them

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.

Eclipse plug-in editor extension tab show “Generic” in “New” submenu

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
