Can't install eclipse plugin

[msarrel]

I've tried to install the eclipse plugin in both eclipse 3.5 and 3.6. Can anyone help?

I'm using the plugin update site method:

http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Edito ... e/site.xml

In 3.6, I get the following error message during the installation process:

An error occurred while installing the items
session context was:(profile=SDKProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Install, operand=null --> [R]ch.qos.logback.classic 0.9.19.v20100519-1505, action=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.actions.InstallBundleAction).
Error while loading manipulator.
Error while loading manipulator.

In 3.5, the installation seems to succeed, however, at the next eclipse startup I get the fatal error:

!SESSION Tue Aug 24 08:51:10 PDT 2010 ------------------------------------------

I had to dig into a log file to find the full text above.

Thanks,

Hello,

If you have trouble with the installation from the update site, you can download the plugin zip distribution and simply unpack it in the dropins folder from the Eclipse installation folder. Make sure you do this on an Eclipse that doesn't already have an Oxygen plugin installed via the update site.
http://www.oxygenxml.com/download_oxyge ... ml#Eclipse (Eclipse tab)

I can't tell what's wrong from these log snippets. Can you send the full log to support@oxygenxml.com for analysis?

I am having trouble with getting the eclipse plugin to run, too. I cannot use the update site because of my organization's proxy, so I am trying to use the zipped files, but they do nothing; nothing is added to "plugin development > Target Platform", I cannot find oXygen in the "open with", and the "error log" contains nothing about an oXygen plugin.

I tried to unzip the content in the "dropins" with no luck, and I tried to put the "features" and "plugins" that are inside the dropin into the features and plugins floders still (and logically) with no luck.

I tried this on both Galilio and Helios, and other plugins get installed normally. Any suggestions? Any ideas?

Hello,

Make sure you have downloaded the zip distribution for Eclipse 3.4 or later:
http://mirror.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Ed ... 080212.zip
When you unpack the archive make sure it is unpacked directly in the dropins folder without creating an additional folder level.
e.g. You should find this folder structure:
eclipse/dropins/com.oxygenxml.editor_11.2.0.v2010080212/features
eclipse/dropins/com.oxygenxml.editor_11.2.0.v2010080212/plugins

When you start Eclipse, use the command line parameter '-clean'.
To do this create a shortcut to eclipse.exe. In the shortcut properties, in the target field add the argument " -clean" after eclipse.exe.
Run the shortcut and the plugins will be reinitialized.


If this still fails you can attempt to create your own local update site.
To do this download from your browser these three files:
http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Edito ... e/site.xml
http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Edito ... 080212.jar
http://www.oxygenxml.com/InstData/Edito ... 080212.jar
Be careful not to mix the last two as they have the same name(the jar from features is a lot smaller, 34kb).

After downloading you need to arrange these files locally in the same way. Create a folder named OxygenUpdateSite and arrange the files in this directory structure:

OxygenUpdateSite
- features
- com.oxygenxml.editor_11.2.0.v2010080212.jar (the small one)
- plugins
- com.oxygenxml.editor_11.2.0.v2010080212.jar
- site.xml
Make sure the names of the jar files haven't been changed, they both have to be named: com.oxygenxml.editor_11.2.0.v2010080212.jar

Now all you have to do is configure Eclipse to point to the local update site and install from there.
