Market Place not working in Eclipse Luna

Question

I have installed Eclipse Luna(4.4) on my system using the binary file and it is having the MPC plugin which is downloaded from the site :

http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/luna/

Still i am unable to find the Market Place in the Help tab, but in the

About Eclipse >> Installation Details >> Installed Software' , 'Marketplace Client' is visible.

Please help me how to Launch it.

Edit- Attaching the screenshot from Eclipse which shows the MarketPlace is installed, still it is not showing in Help Menu

make sure that your eclipse has internet access. – Giess

Yeah, the internet access is there and also have set the proxy settings, The plugin is already installed, just unable to launch it – Leblanc

Marketplace should be installed by default in Luna. – Dwt

Answer 1

Go to Help/Install new software from the menu, select the Juno update site (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno 'try this repository'), and look for the Marketplace client it is in the General Purpose Tools category

Thanks a lot Tiko, it worked. It looks like the marketplace available at Luna site has some bugs due to which it is not visible in Help menu. – Leblanc

Yeah probably that's the case. Anyway happy to be helpful – Chef

Marketplace in Luna is not working properly when you search: you get an "unexpected exception" (Class not found). – Dwt

It's good that this works but I clicked on Marketplace from Eclipse.org and ... marketplace.eclipse.org didn't load. I expect there's some on-going bother. – Kofu

Answer 2

Either drag-and-drop the install URL from the Marketplace website to your Eclipse instance (the main toolbar is a good drop target), or open Help/Eclipse Marketplace... to start it. See also the Marketplace documentation.

As mentioned in my previous comment, it is showing that MPC is already showing in Plugings tab – Leblanc

I did not mean the plugins tab. I said, select the Eclipse Marketplace... menu item from the Help menu. – Chairborne

I have attached the screenshot in the Question, for your reference. – Leblanc

Hmm, strange. I have the same component installed and its menu contribution is visible as well. I have only two ideas to check: (1) is anything visible in the Eclipse logs (open the Error Log view if not visible) and (2) maybe an uninstall-reinstall cycle would help. – Chairborne

Answer 3

->open (your eclipse luna folder)-->configuration-->config ->open the config file with wordpad and add the below lines at the end.

org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient4

->save the config file ->Now restart the eclipse luna and try to access the market place.

Did you try update your Eclipse installation?
