I’m running MyEclipse on an internal network that does not have access to the internet.
So, obviously the standard way to install subclipse is not an option for me.
I’ve tried un-zipping and dragging the new files to the features and plug-ins folders and MyEclipse doesn’t recognize them.
On the other hand, this same method works perfectly for my Eclipse 3.4.2 (Ganymede). Is there a step I’m missing, or a different solution for MyEclipse that I’m not aware of?
Thanks.

fernaco,
Can you try adding a zipped version of update site?
The following are the steps:
1. Download the update site(site-1.6.10.zip) from http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=2240&expandFolder=2240&folderID=0
2. Go to Help > MyEclipse Configuration Center > Software Tab. Click on Add Site. In the new window select “Add from Archive File”
3. Now, “Subversive Plugin(W/related)” will be added under Browse Software. Right click on it and from the context menu select “Add to Profile”.
4. In the new window, select all the options given.
Now the wizard will guide you through the installation process. When prompted to restart, restart your IDE.
I have attached some screen shots for your reference. Let me know if that helps.

Thank you for your quick response and your detailed answer.
Unfortunately, I’m unable to get past the 2nd step of your instructions. I’m not connected to the internet, so the Software and Workspace Center is unavailable to me. I get the message: “Could not retrieve metadata for installed software; unable to proceed”.

fernaco,

this same method works perfectly for my Eclipse 3.4.2 (Ganymede).

Are you working with MyEclipse 7.5?
In that case, “MyEclipse Configuration Center” is not available. this feature is available in ME8.0 and higher versions. I am sorry for overlooking the Eclipse version.
For ME7.5, the following are the steps –
1. Go to Help > Software Updates > Add/Remove Software and click Add.
2. Now click on “Add Archive” and browse to your local zip file.
3. Now select the options required for installation and click “Next”
The wizard will now guide you through the installation process. Let me know how that works for you.

I have the same issue I believe. I’m running MyEclipse for Spring 8.5 on a network with no internet connectivity. I downloaded the zip and was able to Add Update Site from Archive File. When I Apply the change, I get a Bad Update Site exception. It appears to need to go the internet. Any ideas?

Thanks – Jon P.

Jon,
Can you extract the zip file and copy the /features and /plugins directories into /dropins directory(~\MyEclipse 8.5\dropins)
and check if that works for you?
