How do I install Eclipse Marketplace in Eclipse Classic?

I'm running Eclipse 3.6.1 Classic, which does not come with the Eclipse Marketplace plugin by default. I've looked around the Eclipse website, but I don't see an available plugin for installing Eclipse Marketplace. Am I just not seeing it?

Any particular reason you cannot just download a distribution which has this plugin? – Inculpate 12/3, 2011 at 21:31

It would be much easier for me to just download and install the plugin through Eclipse, since I'm currently using Eclipse on a remote Linux box. It would be a pain to download a new version of Eclipse and copy the right files into the Eclipse directories. – Hazardous 12/3, 2011 at 21:35

refer eclipse.org/mpc. – Zaporozhye 8/3, 2015 at 16:55

Help → Install new Software → Switch to the Kepler Repository → General Purpose Tools → Marketplace Client

If you use Eclipse Luna SR 1, the released Marketplace contains a bug; you have to install it from the Marketplace update site. This is fixed again in Luna SR 2.

Marketplace update site:

Luna - http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/luna
Helios - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios
Juno - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
Mars - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/mars

Thanks. The problem was when I went to "All Available Sites", the Helios update repository wasn't there, so my searching turned up no results. Adding the Helios Repository then going to General Purpose Tools revealed it. – Hazardous 12/3, 2011 at 22:9

Thanks Tom - why these instructions cannot be placed on the marketplace site is beyond me :-/. It may be worth noting that the eclipse update URL for the Helios Repository is download.eclipse.org/releases/helios - in the standalone version of Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2 which is based on Eclipse 3.6.1, the Helios update repository is not listed. – Fop 8/7, 2011 at 15:6

FYI: Mine just sat there when I pointed it to the Helios repo. using the Indigo as described in Subramanya's answer worked great for me. – Velours 5/4, 2012 at 16:8

Worked perfectly! The new Eclipse Juno is out now, so if you're up to date use the Juno repo instead of Helios. – Sax 21/10, 2012 at 2:8

In case anyone is wondering the address for Juno repository: download.eclipse.org/releases/juno – Pyrrhotite 4/1, 2013 at 21:49

This accepted answer also fixes the marketplace in Zend Studio 12, which is essentially Eclipse Luna. Only posting this as it took me some searching to figure it out myself. – Yeta 21/4, 2015 at 15:45

Where in the world are you finding this "help" button? Does it exist in the Linux version or only windows? – Knowland 25/8, 2016 at 20:17

Point to Eclipse Indigo Site, If not available add the site "Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo"

+1 Nice step-by-step guide on how to do it. I edit it to fix the numbered list (so it'll be in a list, and not just a long paragraph) and minor grammar fix of the first sentence. – Catlee 22/12, 2011 at 6:20

I tried a modified version for Juno, download.eclipse.org/releases/juno replaced indigo by juno all in small caps and it worked.. :) – Slayton 28/8, 2014 at 6:13

With Eclipse 3.7 Indigo, I found the link at http://www.eclipse.org/mpc/ which told me the download location and plugin was http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/indigo/ Which made the "Eclipse Marketplace Client" available in my Software updates after I added that address as a repository. Didn't seem to be in the core list on a fresh install.

The easy way to do it

Help--> Install New Software
In the box type in http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/juno
General Purpose Tools--> Select Eclipse Marketplace checkbox and Finish.

Along with these steps I tried To install the whole bunch of software, but it gives an error later. So please make sure you select only one or two at a time.
