I just installed eclipse 3.7 and cannot install any plugins. In the dropins folder, from the market place or the software install option. Find-bugs, sub-eclipse, google plug in etc..., none will install. I keep getting a message about not being able to read the repository.

There are multiple ways to install Eclipse plugins using the dropins folder:

1. You can just drop the plugin jar in the dropins folder:

eclipse/
__dropins/
____yourPluginsJar.jar

2. You can also drop in the traditional Eclipse application or extension layout directly in the dropins folder:

eclipse/
__dropins/
____eclipse/
______features/
______plugins/

3. You can add an additional layer of folders immediately below the dropins folder that contain traditional Eclipse extensions:

eclipse/
__dropins/
____emf/
______eclipse/
________features/
________plugins/
____gef/
______eclipse/
________features/
________plugins/

4. Or you can add link files as in the Eclipse links folder:
eclipse/
__dropins/
____emf.link

That's not really enough information to provide a useful response. Post
the details of any error you get.
