How do I install eclipse PDE?

Asked 30/5, 2011 at 13:38 Answered 28/7, 2014 at 16:24

I have already installed the eclipse IDE for Java developers (Helios Service Release 2)

How do I now install the Plug-in Developers Environment (PDE) on top of that? I thought that it should be possible to install it from an update site, like any other eclipse plug-in. But I can't find the correct update site anywhere.

It is possible, you just to use the aggregated Helios update site. The name of the feature is "Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment" – Dirham 30/5, 2011 at 21:51

Try that in Eclipse:

Help → Install New Software... → Choose The Eclipse Project Updates in field Work With → Filter for RCP Plug-In

Then press Next and follow the instructions!

NB: filtering for "RCP Plug-In" seems to work for eclipse 3.6 only, before that it was called something else. – Freewheel 9/6, 2011 at 12:21

Now the filter should be Eclipse plug-in and then tick Eclipse plug-in Development Environment in Luna release. – Oleander 25/6, 2015 at 21:56

With Eclipse Mars, I had to use "Plugin: in search and select Eclipse Plugin development (PDE) to install it. – Emileemilee 12/7, 2017 at 19:35

For Oxygen release, ->Help ->Install new software ->Work with -> dropdown -> Eclipse Project updates ->Eclipse Plugin Development Resources/Environment – Collett 3/2, 2018 at 17:53

For Eclipse IDE for Java Developers Juno SR2, go to: Help -> Install New Software -> In field "Work with" select "Juno - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno", then Expand General Purpose Tools, then select Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment, then just go to Next, Next, Accept policy, Finish, Restart Eclipse when prompted to do so. Welcome page should be now opened and there you can see big icon (beside others) for Eclipse plug-in development. If not, go to Windows, Show View, Other and there look for "Plug-in Development". Expand and choose what you need.

Works for Luna as well. Tried on "Luna Service Release 1a". – Farce 2/2, 2015 at 10:56

Eclipse plug-in development environment comes with ant 1.9.2. For a more recent version ant has to be installed manually. – Immoderation 31/5, 2015 at 11:13
