I have installed eclipse Helios and want to create a plugin project. I select File --> New --> Project but there I do-not see the option for Plugin development. There are only 4 options--
General, CVS , Java and Examples.
Here are the eclipse details--
Eclipse IDE for Java Developers
Version: Helios Service Release 2
Build id: 20110218-0911
Do I need to configure anything in the eclipse settings or preferences for this?
You have to install the Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers package of eclipse, not the one for Java Developers.
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-rcp-and-rap-developers/indigosr1
Edit: As an alternative you can install the plugins for plugin development into your existing installation. But this might require some fiddling.
The reason there might be no "Plugin Project" option in your Eclipse IDE could be due to the fact that the IDE you have installed does not include the necessary components for plugin development.
to get the plugin project flow the below steps.
Open Eclipse and go to the Help menu, then select "Eclipse Marketplace".
In the Marketplace window, search for "PDE" and select the "Eclipse PDE" option from the list.
Click on the "Install" button next to the Eclipse PDE option, and follow the prompts to complete the installation process

I am developing Eclipse RCP application, I am very new in RCP development & plugins development. I want to attach the eclipse source code in my eclipse (Kepler 4.3.2).
Please suggest me step by step, how to attach the source code in my current eclipse?
Use 'Help > Install New Software...'
In 'Work with' enter the updates site for your release. This is http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3 for Eclipse Kepler (4.3), http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.5 for the more current Eclipse Mars (4.5).
Select and install 'Eclipse Platform SDK' for the core source, or 'Eclipse SDK' for more complete source.
Once this is installed open the 'Preferences' and go to the 'Plug-in Development' page. Check the 'Include all plug-ins from target in Java search' option. This will include the source in Eclipse searches and the 'Open Type' dialog. Note: If you are using a 'Target Platform' the source need to be included in the target platform to get the search to work.
Alternatively most of the downloads from the Eclipse Projects page include the source plugins.
I am trying to install maven 1.5 in eclipse unfortunately I am getting errors like:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.

EClipse juno doesnt support maven 1.5..still they have not added capability of 1.5
so try 1.4 or 1.3

MAVEN INSTALLATION
OPTION 1 :
Open Eclipse IDE
Click Help -> Install New Software...
Click Add button at top right corner
At pop up: fill up Name as "M2Eclipse" and Location as http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.4
Now click OK
After that installation would be started.
OPTION 2 :-
Open Eclipse
Go to Help -> Eclipse Marketplace
Search by Maven
Click "Install" button at "Maven Integration for Eclipse" section
Follow the instruction step by step
After successful installation do the followings in Eclipse:
Go to Window --> Preferences
Observe, Maven is enlisted at left panel
Finally,
Click on an existing project
Select Configure -> Convert to Maven Project
This is because maven 1.5 is not compatible with eclipse juno.
So we need to use maven 1.4 or 1.3
Steps to install maven 1.4 is below
Click Help in eclipse
Install New Software
Url for the location of site is "http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases"
Uncheck the checkbox "Show only the latest versions of available software"
if do not uncheck the checkbox it will only latest version and do not show maven 1.4.
Select m2e and slf4j of 1.4 version and click next.
Note: maven v 1.3 is compatible, correct url for juno: download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.3
If all the above options don't work, then first install the WST plugin in your eclipse.
In order to do that, in Eclipse Juno, go to Install New Software > Add, under Name place Juno and under Location URL insert http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno.
Then, select WST Server Adapters under Web, XML, Java, ... (last option of the list).
Accept licensing agreement and restart Eclipse.
Then resume the usual procedure to install Maven.
Choose menu Help \ Install New Software..., then add this repository link:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/1.2/1.2.0.20120903-1050/
Then install for Eclipse WTP (Web Tool Platform) Juno 4.2.
Uncheck the option "Select only the latest version of this software", so that versions of the plugin compatible to your eclipse will be displayed, you can select one of them.

I want to write a java web application using NetBeans 7.0.1, but i can't find the option Java Web in File -> New Project. Do i need to get any special Java edition to do that?
Go to the Tools menu and select Plugins.
Click on the "Available Plugins" tab.
Check the box for "Java EE Base" (note: on older NetBeans versions, the plugin to install was called "Java Web Applications").
Click the "Install" button.
Click your way through the dialogs until the plugin and its dependencies are installed.
Restart the IDE.
You should now find "Java Web" in File -> New Project.
Go to the Tools menu and select Plugins.
Click on the "Available Plugins" tab.
Check the box for "Java EE Base".
Click the "Install" button.
Select "Web Projects" from plugin list
Check the term & condition checkbox
Click next and wait while NetBeans downloading the plugin
Restart IDE
My answer will provide images for you to understand easily.
Go to Tools -> Plugins like this image
In Plugins windows, select Available Plugins tab, choose and install Java EE Base like this image
Now just follow the instruction and install the plugin, when it's done, restart the Netbeans, then you can create Java Web Application like this image
I had problems while finding the plugins under the Available plugins tab. The reason was under the settings tab, the three checkboxes were unchecked. I checked them all and then I can see the plugins under the Available plugins Tab.
And then I followed the steps mentioned in other answers. Hope this is also useful to this context.
Well, maybe you cant find Java Web in the installation list, so, search for Java EE Base, in Netbeans 7.x is the option, and includes the comment that includes Java Web and EE.
regards
If you have NetBeans 8.2+ and installed the EE edition, open the plugin panel from Tools -> Plugins. Go to the installed tab and check the Java EE Base plugin. Then activate that plugin.
If you need other options as well the select all the plugins under the Web and Java EE category and activate them.
In my case Above mentioned thing didn't worked for me.
I have installed multiple JDK (JDK version 8 and 9) due to which Netbeans 8.2 might not working as expected and then I was unable to create project.
Then I removed JDK9 and cleared cache from \Users\admin\AppData in windows.
Then I was able to create Java Project.
I have developed an Eclipse plugin using the RCP version of Eclipse. I have used the plugin via a 'run application' launch as well as by exporting the plugin as a JAR and putting it in the plugins directory of Eclipse RCP.
The problem is that when I put the plugin JAR in the plugins directory for my Java version or Java EE version of Eclipse, it doesn't seem to be loaded as one of the plugins. I go to the preferences to look at the pref. page for my plugin and it isn't even listed.
This is my first Eclipse plugin, so I don't have much experience using plugins across different distributions of Eclipse and so forth. Any ideas of how to fix this? I would like to be able to use the plugin in any Eclipse (Java, Java EE, RCP, etc.)
Try putting your plugin under install/dropins/plugins directory. As of Eclipse 3.5, adding plugins directly to the root plugins directory isn't supported.
This should be enough for you to experiment further, but this isn't a good way to install finished plugins. The best way to install plugins is via a published repository. You will need to create a feature to hold your plugin and then use Export -> Plug-in Development -> Deployable features wizard or investigate command line build solutions such as pdeBuild.
I have installed Eclipse Helios. how can i add to it plug-in development functionallity (to be able to create OSGi bundles)
You need to install the Plugin Perspective
Usually you can try to get it via:
Help->Install New Software
"Work With:" -> "--All Available Sites--"
type "Plug-in" into the filter box
Open "General Purpose Tools" (may be called differently in your eclipse version!)
install "Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment"
restart!
Please find the below steps to Install PDE(Plug-in Development Environment) plugin in Eclipse:
Go to Help -> Eclipse Matketplace
Type PDE in find textbox to search
You can see PDE Plus icon
Install it
http://www.vogella.de/articles/OSGi/article.html gives a pretty detailed overview on eclipse & OSGi.
I think the best and easiest way is to download another package that already have PDE installed:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
chose "Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers" or "Eclipse Modeling Tools", both are OK.
