When placing 3rd party plugins into the dropins directory the IDE will only read them if it had been previously started and stopped with nothing in that directory. While this is only a minor inconvenience for manuall installs, when trying to put together an automated install process this becomes much more of an issue. Is there a way around this? Is it a bug? Thanks.
I’m afraid this is a bug that we are already working on resolving asap. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I am trying to install this plugin:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/findbugs/edu.umd.cs.findbugs.plugin.eclipse_1.3.7.20081230.zip?downloadI have extracted the contents of the .ZIP to the dropins directory with no success.
I have created the plugins and features directories in the dropins directory and placed the unzipped archive in the plugins directory with no success.
I’ve tried various combinations of the plugin present in the dropins and not as suggested above.
So… what am I doing wrong??

Is the plugin that you are setting up with copmpatible with the base eclipse version (Eclipse 3.4.x) ? What is the name of this plugin? Are there any errors logged under <workspace>/.metadata/.log file?The plugin is Findbugs and has been working with MyEclipse 6.5. I provided the link to the plugin if you’d like to take a look at it… I’ll have to check the error log and get back with you.

It’s hiding in the “Browse Categories” section under “Source Code Analyzer”. Then the best matching FindBugs version will be installed.

TonThis is not an option for us… we have to be able to drop-in plugins, as our workstations have all software download sites blocked.

TonLarryD,
We figured out why /dropins were failing in some cases and working in others for 7.1.1 users and we have a fix ready to go that we need to test along with some new installers that will include a new version of Pulse that patches most of the major complaints we have received on the forums. It should be release in about 2 weeks from now. Thank you for your patience.Hi there,
I’m still experiencing the same problem with MyEclipse v7.5.
Has this issue with FindBugs and other plugins been resolved yet?Kind Regards,
UmbertoUmberto,
Could you please explain in detail the problem that you are facing. Also, can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for us.
