Installing PyDev [message #1546974]

I have installed Python 3.4, JDK 1.8 and Eclipse Mars on my Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1. I next installed PyDev through Eclipse -> Install New Software. I added the following lines to eclipse.ini:

-vm
/bin/java/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home

However, I still can't see any PyDev in Eclipse. Is it compatible with version 1.8, or should I downgrade my system to 1.7? Will this influence other applications?

In my Eclipse configuration, I find:

eclipse.vm=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/../jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib
...
-vm
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/../jre/lib/server/libjvm.dylib
...
java.vm.specification.version=1.8

EDIT: When I click About Eclipse -> Installation Details -> Installed Software, PyDev is not in the list. Does this mean it is not installed properly? I did not get an error message during installation.

Sorry, Erwin,

I've been too busy for a week now to jump into this forum and your
question's gone unanswered apparently.

PyDev isn't supported by the Eclipse community proper, but rather by
stackoverflow.com. You get PyDev through the Eclipse Marketplace after
installing the Eclipse you want to use (I think you can install any of
the packages).

Here are some notes I've taken. I've recently begun to do some Python
development, though I'm a Java guy, and had to learn it.

Thanks for your answer. I got it to work now. The thing I did wrong was that I forgot to uncheck the option 'Contact all update sites during install to find required software'! Trying again with this checkbox unchecked resulted in an immediate working PyDev environment.
