You can add extra extension locations to Eclipse.Hi,
I dont have suffisent right to add a plugin inside the plugin folder of Eclipse (and feature folder). How can I start Eclipse with a plugin I have in my home directory? Is there a way to set the "path" of pluggin folder and feature folder?
Thanks
Etienne.
The important thing is that a directory serving as extra extension location must contain an (empty) marker file with the name '.eclipseextension' (without quotes).
To make unpacking of plugin jars easy, I'd recommended to give the directory containing '.eclipseextension' the name 'eclipse'.
mkdir ~/myextloc mkdir ~/myextloc/eclipse touch ~/myextloc/eclipse/.eclipseextension
Unpack any your plugin jars in to ~/myextloc. Most plugin jars have 'eclipse/' as the root path of their entries, so unpacking them automagically creates the proper structure, i.e. with subdirs:
~/myextloc/eclipse/features/
~/myextloc/eclipse/plugins/
Then, in Eclipse use Help -> Software Updates -> Manage Configuration.
In the configuration manager, click the 'Add Extension Location' link in the right pane (or right-click on the 'Eclipse Platform' entry in the left pane and select New -> Extension Location). Browse to ~/myextloc/eclipse and select it.
