How to install eclipse plugin using eclipse marketplace

This tutorial will teach us how to install eclipse plugins such as svn, egit, etc using available sites and eclipse marketplace.

Note that I've done this on windows using eclipse-jee-juno.

Installing eclipse plugins using available sites:

1.) To install from available sites, you should make the site available first. For example we want to install glassfish application server tools. Here's what we will do:
  a.) In eclipse click Help->Install New Software
  b.) In the open window either click Add or Available Software Sites->Add.
  c.) Add Name=Glassfish, Location=http://download.java.net/glassfish/eclipse/juno

2.) Click Ok and then close all the windows.

3.) So not to get confused, open Help->Install New Software again.

4.) In the "Work with" dropdown select Glassfish, the one we just created and a list of  available components will appear.

5.) Check all then Click Next.

6.) Click Next then Finish. It will start to install the plugin.

Installing eclipse plugin from eclipse marketplace:

Now for example we want to install JBoss Tools from marketplace.

1.) In eclipse click Help->Eclipse Marketplace

2.) In the Find field, enter Jboss.

3.) Click Install on the second entry. Jboss Tools (Juno).

4.) Expand the dropdown and select Jboss Tools only.

5.) Click Next.

6.) Accept and click Finish. The installation should start.

That's it, now we know how to install eclipse plugin using eclipse marketplace and available sites :-).
