Eclipse version is upgraded very quickly, and each version will bring some new features that are heartbeat accelerated. This makes me always used to get the three different five places to it on its official website to see what new Dongdong You can download it. But this also brings a trouble. Every time you install a new version, you need to collect the N multi-plugins you collected from the old version. If you need a new old version, you need to keep these plugins on the machine. Multiple replicas, wasted a lot of valuable disk space, it is not convenient to manage. In fact, Eclipse's plug-in management function is very flexible. You only need to do a little job, you can make plug-in management into a very easy thing. First we need Built a directory to store the plugin, the directory name is casually taking (for example, 'Extends'), then build a directory in this directory, and built the Features and Plugins two directory (and Eclipse installation directory structure) The same). Finally, built a ".eclipseextension" text file in the Eclipse directory we just built, no content in the file. So our Eclipse directory may like this, red is our company / File ../eclipse | /Eclipse3.0.1 |
/ Extends | / Eclipse | / Features | / Plugins | /.EclipseExtension then puts our downloaded extensions in Features and plugins directory. Start Eclipse, point help-> Software Updates-> Management Configuration ... in the window Under the root of the trees, click the right-click menu, select New-> EXTENTION LOCATION. In the pop-up dialog box, select the extends directory we have just built, and finally determine. At this time, we will show our new plugin directory. . Restart Eclipse to see if our plugin is coming out?
