EasyEclipse Plugins
Here, you will find a set of plugins that we recommend. We are packaging them and testing them to validate that these plugins:
- Work correctly with the current version of EasyEclipse
- Are useful and work as advertised, and
- Are distributed under a clear Open-Source License.
In the Beta release, only the plugins with the "Checkbox" sign have been tested. The other plugins should work also,
but we are not entirely sure of it; you are welcome to post feedback on the
Bugs submission page.
The plugins will work best with an EasyEclipse Distribution. They may work with another distribution of Eclipse, but we do not test with other distributions. In particular, dependencies may not be handled correctly.
On Windows and Mac OS X, an installer makes a plugin easy to add to your installation of EasyEclipse. On Linux, simply untar and run the installation script from the command-line
Complete installation instructions are available in the Help section.
