Plug-in download:
Recommendation: download the zip file from the plugin's official website. This method is the fastest download speeds.
For example, checkstyle from http://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-cs/files/updatesite/5.6.1/ download
and then downloaded to extract the files to a folder (F: \ eclipse \ plugins_repo \ checkstyle) the standby.
If the plug does not provide the official website to download the zip file, you can download eclipse. Command is as follows:
F:\eclipse\eclipse-4.3.0-kepler\eclipse.exe ^
-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication ^
-source http://eclipse-cs.sf.net/update/ ^
-destination file:F:/eclipse/plugins_repo/checkstyle
This method requires Eclipse plug-in version have org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.
indigo later versions have this plug-in, but previous versions if there are not clear.
Plug-in installed / deleted:
Recommended: Add / Remove link dropins file folder.
For example, when you need to install plug-ins, add dropins checkstyle.link folder, file content:
path = F: / the Eclipse / plugins_repo / checkstyle
need when you remove the plug, you can delete checkstyle.link.
You can also install the eclipse through the Install New Software, specified during installation Location is F: \ eclipse \ plugins_repo \ checkstyle.
link installed / deleted more convenient. But all modules will plug-ins are installed inside.
eclipse way to install / remove a little trouble, but you can install only the modules you want. And this way, more trouble if the plug-in installed more, want to remove a plug.
