Adding 3'rd party plugins to eclipse [message #16610] Sat, 26 April 2003 07:09 Go to next message

Hi,

I am new to eclipse and using Version: 2.1.0 Build id: 200303071024
for my java development.

My colleague has another product - WSS-AD which is also built on top of
eclipse.

I would like to know how plug-ins in WSS-AD can be added into eclipse 2.1
It cannot be as simple as simply copying the resp plug-in dir
(with the about.html, <asscoiated-jar-file>, plugin.properties and
plugin.xml) into my eclipse installation.

There has to be something more to it.

For instance WSS-AD has a built in xml editor files (to edit web.xml etc.)
While in eclipse it is only open in a standard text editor and or view in
System editor (IE).

I would like to get the WSS-AD plug for XML editing into eclipse.

Any clues will be appreciated.

In general: yes it is that simple. If you want to do it really right
copy the content of the feature/<name> and all the plugins, which
are specified in feature/<name>/feature.xml.

I don't know of the legal issue and I suspect, that IBM did
something against simple copying... Also WSS-AD plugins are based on
2.0.x, so they might not work with 2.1
