Eclipse plugins question.

Eclipse plugins question.

[Austin Gonyou]

Does anyone know how many of the current plugins will work with the RH
version of eclipse? I tried importing a few yesterday, but that didn't
seem to go well. Should I not be importing them, and just adding them to
/usr/lib/eclipse/plugins? Sorry for asking such a n00b question. I'm
pretty  new to eclipse.

Also, is there a perl plugin? I'd love that. :)

It depends on what exactly you're doing.  Adding a new plugin should
work, but we haven't tested it heavily.  So there may be problems.
You'd have to be more specific.

In my opinion, putting stuff in /usr/lib/eclipse isn't a great idea,
unless you're installing them from RPMs.

There are a bunch of eclipse plugins on sourceforge.  I'd start by
looking there.

Agreed, though some plug install text files put this as their means of
installation. ;) That's why I wanted to ask.

I was referring to a plugin that provides perl support or even shell
support, on top of c and java. We have a lot of stuff we do here. (i.e.
syntax highlighting for perl and shell would be good) I didn't notice
one for those, just PHP.

cd /usr/lib/eclipse
mkdir links
cd links
echo "path=r /usr/local/share/eclipse" > usr_local.links
# read only -> no update manager for this 'site'
cd /usr/local/share
mkdir eclipse
cd eclipse
mkdir plugins
mkdir features
 unzip <plugin.zip> -d plugins
or
 unzip <features.zip>

You can also try with applying the patch from 
http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36101
and add a 'site' in your $HOME.
