Eclipse mars Installation folder in Mac

Question

I need the Eclipse Installation folder, it was requested from another program, but there is no such a folder. When I installed eclipse I did not get any folder out of the compressed file, I only get the program itself. However, I copied the contents and it says " it's not the installation folder since it does not have "plugins" subfolder. The error message

Answer 1

The new path for the plugins is /Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/plugins

Answer 2

The eclipse will be installed where you decided to put it not always under /Applications necessarily. The easiest way I think to find the installation folder is to run eclipse, go to Eclipse > About Eclipse. Click "Installation Details" at the bottom. The configuration tab in installation details should have the location of eclipse for launcher and startup config. Hope this helps!
