Using the Eclipse Marketplace Client within Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (Devstudio)

Question

I would like to ask you whether (and how) it's possible to use Eclipse Marketplace in Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio 10.3.0.GA. I was trying to install EMPC from [1], but the version looked a bit old and didn't work afterwards. Basically I would like to install [2] to Devstudio. How can I do that? I was trying this drag and drop, but it didn't work for me.

Thank you

Answer 1

You can install an entry from the Marketplace site without the Marketplace client. When viewing an entry, click on the little arrow button located under the Install button and it will display the update site. Then use Help -> Install New Software and add the new update site

Answer 2

You can't drag and drop because this feature is from EPP Marketplace Client and you don't had the plugin installed yet. Follow this steps and when the plugin is already installed you can do it.

2. Click inside download icon to choose Update site URL

3. Choose the last version Oxygen 4.7

4. Copy Update site URLhttp://download.eclipse.org/mpc/releases/1.6.4

Installing steps:

1. Open your Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio

2. Select Help -> Install New Software...

   

3. Add a new site to the Eclipse Update Manager

4. Inside Work with: paste Update site URL and press Enter

   • EPP Marketplace Client: http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/releases/1.6.4

5. Select EPP Marketplace Client

6. Click next & accept the terms of use

7. Wait finish installation and restart the IDE when asked

8. Now EPP Marketplace Client is ready for use
