使用dropins文件夹安装plug-in

eclipse3.4推出一种新的插件安装方式。

 

The dropins folder is configured to be scanned duringstartup. Thus the dropins folder can be used much like the pluginsdirectory was used in the past.

 

安装插件的4种布局：

 

1. The simplest layout is to just drop plug-ins in either jar ordirectory format directly into the dropins folder:

 eclipse/   dropins/     org.eclipse.core.tools_1.4.0.200710121455.jar     org.eclipse.releng.tools_3.3.0.v20070412/       plugin.xml       tools.jar       ... etc ...2.  traditional Eclipse application or extension layout： eclipse/   dropins/     eclipse/       features/       plugins/3. various different components are dropped in, and you want to keep them separate:(recommend) eclipse/   dropins/     emf/       eclipse/         features/         plugins/     gef/       eclipse/         features/         plugins/     ... etc ...4. adding link files as in the traditional Eclipse links folder: eclipse/   dropins/     emf.link
