Se hai necessità di installare in Eclipse dei nuovi plugin in maniera che non intacchino l’installazione di default (esempio per l’utilizzo dei nightbuild) e’ necessario seguire questa semplice procedura (riporto il link)!
The following describe the simplest way of doing this:
- Download a nightly build and unzip/untar it in a different folder named ${JTFOLDER}, eg say /home/max/jbossnightly or c:/jbossnightly
- create a directory called “links” in ${ECLIPSEINSTALL}
Note: in Ganymede, use “dropins” rather than “links” - add a .link file, e.g. ${ECLIPSEINSTALL}/links/jbossnightly.link and put the following into it
path=<$JTFOLDER>
i.e. path=/home/max/jbossnightly
Start eclipse with
eclipse -clean
to make sure it rereads the links file.
Now it should be possible to replace the current nightly with a newer one without pain.
