Install old Plugin in last Eclipse or JBoss Dev Studio


I'm trying to install old JPox plugin in my Jboss Dev Studio 9 (note, I'm working in legacy project, so I want to install the old), but it doesn't seem to work.

I've clicked through Help, Install New Software, then clicked add, then clicked archive, and then browsed to org.jpox.ide.eclipse_1.1.3.jar.

However, it informs me that "No software site found at jar:file:/Users/.../org.jpox.ide.eclipse_1.1.3.jar!/. Do you wish to edit the location?"

Note, I have tried to extract and load the jpox-eclipse-plugin.jar and after extract the HOME_JBOSS folder\studio\plugins\org.jpox.ide.eclipse_1.1.3

You can get JPox in JPox link.


Solution

  • Install New Software can only be used for things that are packaged as a 'software site'.

    The jar you have downloaded is just a single plugin. Copy the plugin to the 'dropins' directory in your Eclipse installation and restart Eclipse to install it.
