Personal plugin in Eclipse

Question

I have a plugin for eclipse, but I want to use it at work. Is there a way to get eclipse to use plugin files without affecting other people using the same central version of Eclipse? Perhaps some user settings?

Thank.

EDIT: Began generosity. Please provide a step-by-step solution for this, as I am not very good at eclipse's internal workings.

Answer 1

Yes it is. There are several ways that mostly depend on the version you are using Eclipse. But you can always install your own Eclipse locally. You can always use your own set of plugins downloaded in a separate directory. What platform are you working on? What version of Eclipse are you using?

Regarding Eclipse programming, I use the Java Developer's Guide for Eclipse (2nd edition (which still covers all current versions of v3. # Very well)). He has a good description of how to use a few configuration.

See Part I - Eclipse Environmental Management Chapter; section "Configuration management" (p. 191-195).

dropins ( , Eclipse 3.5 Galileo):

• dropins (, Linux/Mac: "~/dropins", Windows: "C:\dropins" )
• Eclipse :

-Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory="C:\dropins"

(cd eclipse, ):

Linux/Mac:

./eclipse -Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory="~/dropins"

Windows:

eclipse.exe -Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory="C:\dropins"

Answer 4

I would choose the simplest choice:

• install another Eclipse, but the same version.

• Install all the features shared by Eclipse (you can use the same update sites as the shared one and update).
  make sure your project is open correctly.

• install your own plugin.
  make sure that your project opens correctly.

• make sure your project opens with a shared instance.

IMHO, any configuration hacker will run into a problem one day.
