Tags:

eclipse-plugin

Eclipse can contains a lot of different feature set via plugins. Do you install all the plugins in one single eclipse? or do you install STS from spring, Flex eclipse from adobe, or even RCP development bundle from eclipse.org, every eclipse variant handle its task respectively?

Which way do you prefer and why? speedy response? avoid the hassle of updating/installing plugins?

Thanks

What are Eclipse plug-ins?

How do I move a plugin from one Eclipse to another?

You can copy plugins to an external folder and create shortcuts to them via link files. Then you can copy these link files to any Eclipse installation.

If you have enough power on your workstation (and the right eclipse.ini), you can:

  • install all the major plugins in one operation (choosing the most complete distro, like the J2EE one)

  • install any other external plugins in a shared directory (meaning those plugins will continue to be referenced by any new version of eclipse distro you may install in the future)
