viswamy2k,

You haven’t mentioned what is your ME version and what is your OS and version. Can you copy and paste your installation details here? Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.

Mentioned below are ways in which you can add plugins to MyEclipse profiles –
1. If you have an update site / archived update site, use Help > Software Updates > Add / Remove Software. Click on [Add]. Next click on [Add Site]. Choose site / archived update site. Add name and update site. And follow the wizard.
2. If you have plugin and / or feature for the said plugin. You can copy the same to [your MyEclipse installation directory]/dropins folder. Restart your IDE
3. Alternatively you can also use pulse to install plugins. Open pulse. If you don’t have pulse download the same from http://www.poweredbypulse.com Login to pulse. From “My Profiles”, click on your MyEclipse profile. Search for the said plugin and drag and drop the same to your ME profile. Next right click on your ME profile and click on [Install and run] and follow the wizard.

viswamy2k,

I don’t think we support installing plug-in from command line. I will consult the dev team members and get back to you on this.

Hi,

We have done this with the utility mentioned above in eclipse 3.2 and now we are using myeclipse 7.5(eclipse 3.4.x)
So could you please check this and suggest me.

thanks

I am not sure what are you referring above? Are you referring to Eclipse 3.4.2 update manager? If yes, please cross – post to Eclipse forums.
For MyEclipse 7.5, you can use from menu options – Help > Software Updates > Add / Remove Software

[viswamy2k]

Im referring to Myeclipse7.5 and looking for the information about the command line utility to install my plugins.

[support-joy]

viswamy2k,

I am afraid there are no command line utility available in ME 7.5 to add plugins.

You can add plugins to ME 7.5 using either of the below mentioned ways –

1. From MyEclipse IDE, click on Help > Software Updates > Add / Remove Software and follow the wizard
2. In case you have the plugin. Copy the plugin to [your myeclipse dir]/dropins/plugins and restart your IDE

[viswamy2k]

Thanks,

I have copied my plug-ins and features to dropins folder,but after restarting i have observed that some of the features are not working from my application side.,

So could you please let me know the procedure to use the dropins folder.

[support-joy]

viswamy2k,

You need to copy the plugins to [your myeclipse installation dir]/dropins/plugins folder; similarly features to [your myeclipse installation dir]/dropins/features. In case plugins and features folder are not present within dropins, please create them. Next restart your IDE.

[viswamy2k]

Thanks,

I have done the same but some my application specific projects are not able to create,
so is there anything do ineed to do apart from these steps

[support-joy]

viswamy2k,

Please ensure that the said plugin is compatible to the base eclipse. For e.g. if you are ME 8.5, ensure the plugin is compatible to Eclipse 3.5.2 classic.

[viswamy2k]

Im using myeclipse 7.5 (eclipse3.4.2) and i have the compatible plugins in executable jar formate.

I have copied these plugins to C:\Genuitec\MyEclipse7.5\dropins\plugins and the same for features also and restarted the IDE.

and obeserved that my application specific projects are not able to create.

[support-joy]

viswamy2k,

If your plugins are compatible to Eclipse 3.4.2 classic, you can do the following –
1. Add the same to [Eclipse installation dir]/dropins
2. Add MyEclipse as archived update site. Please refer – https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/installation-install-myeclipse-using-archived-update-site/&highlight=
