Here is an example, we will detail how to customize it below. This allows to keep a tidy and clean structure, and should be the standard packaging way. Inside this directory can live an unlimited number of subdirectories, each one containing its own features and plugins subdirectories. This installation method is still supported in Eclipse 3.4, but the preferred one is now using the /usr/lib/eclipse/dropins/ directory.

It was also very difficult to tell at a glance which package contained which file. The content of these two directories could be mixed with that of other plugins, and it created a mess and rendered the structure difficult to manage. The typical Eclipse plugin contains two directories, features and plugins, and since Eclipse 3.3 they could only be placed in /usr/lib/eclipse/. This page aims to define a standard and simple structure for Eclipse plugin PKGBUILDs, so that the filesystem structure can remain consistent between all plugins without having the packager to start again for every new package.Įclipse plugin structure and installation It is not easy, however, to achieve this without the packager knowing every detail about how Eclipse plugins work. There are many ways to install working Eclipse plugins, especially since the introduction of the dropins directory in Eclipse 3.4, but some of them are messy, and having a standardized and consistent way of packaging is very important to lead to a clean system structure. 32-bit – CLR – CMake – Cross – DKMS – Eclipse – Electron – Font – Free Pascal – GNOME – Go – Haskell – Java – KDE – Kernel – Lisp – Meson – MinGW – Node.js – Nonfree – OCaml – Perl – PHP – Python – R – Ruby – Rust – Shell – VCS – Web – Wine
