Hi, I'm completely new to eclipse and for the moment I only want to use it to access MS SQL 2007 servers which seems to be the only way from Linux by using Quantum DB plugin with Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver. But may be I like Eclipse more and so I want to know how to cleanly handle Plugins instead of just changing permissions to /usr/lib/eclipse to enable myself to copy some files to this location (uhmm, is this dirty ...).
Google leaded me to http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2005/09/msg00031.html and I personally would like to turn those two plugins I need (org.eclipse.gef and quantum.sourceforge.net) into Debian packages but there was no real outcome of this discussion. Moreover in a followup to this mail Jerry Haltom claimed that
You should be able to install a plugin from eclipse and it should end up in either ~/.eclipse/plugins or /usr/local/lib/eclipse/plugins or something.
... which would help for the moment - but I did not found a clue *how* actually to do this. If there is some easy way to accomplish this I'd regard this worth a /usr/share/doc/eclipse/README.Debian or something like that - but I have not found any useful information here. Any clue how to install plugins cleanly? Kind regards Andreas. PS: I would be happy if you could keep me in CC because I'm not subscribed to Debian-Java list. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
