PDT not working after manual install on Linux [message #659958]

Hi,

I try to install PDT plugin [1] manually by copying the files in "plugins" and "features" directories of the plugin tarball into install_dir/plugins and install_dir/features directories(install_dir=/opt/eclipse), but eclipse fails to see the plugin. For instance, I can't see any entry about PHP while trying to open new project wizard.

Is the installation path wrong or do I miss something?

Thanks in advance

Why S201006090518, such an old build?

You need to install DLTK and WTP (and its dependencies) since PDT depends on them.
http://www.eclipse.org/dltk/
http://www.eclipse.org/webtools/
I don't know(I don't want to know) which version is suitable/installable for PDT S201006090518 though.

If you don't really need S201006090518, you can install pdt via Help>Install New Software>Helios. Also all-in-one packages including former versions are available at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ or http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ .

Hi Toshihiro

I switched to build M201010110334 (this is what I can find as the latest but with installing the dependent plugins you referred, I'm still unable to get the plugin worked.

I think, the problem is related with the unavailability of PDT runtime plugin to Eclipse. Even I installed PDT SDK plugin, which includes both of source and runtime related files, Eclipse can't see the runtime plugin as not listed in "Eclipse Platform Installation Details" window. Do I need to do something extra to refer this plugin to Eclipse?
