Examples - Installation

1.0 Installation via the Update Manager

The Eclipse SDK examples are found on the Eclipse project update site at http://update.eclipse.org/updates. To locate and install them into a product:

  1. Open the main update manager by clicking Help > Software Updates > Update Manager. This opens the Install/Update perspective.
  2. In the Feature Updates view, select New > Site Bookmark from the context menu. In the New Site Bookmark dialog that opens, give the site the name "Eclipse.org" and URL "http://update.eclipse.org/updates".
  3. Expand the "Eclipse.org" item and select the feature named "Eclipse SDK Examples" (or "Eclipse SDK Examples (Windows)" if you're on Windows). Click the Install button within the Preview view.
  4. The Feature Install wizard confirms the details of the feature you are about to install. Click Next.
  5. Select the directory into which the example feature is to be installed and hit Next.

  6. Click Install to allow the downloading and installing to proceed.

  7. Click Yes when asked to exit and restart the workbench for the changes to take effect. The examples are now installed in the workbench.

1.1 Manual Installation

To install the examples without the Update Manager, download the appropriate Eclipse SDK Example zip file from the Eclipse project web site at http://www.eclipse.org/downloads.

The workbench should not be running while the examples are being  installed.  Extract the contents of the zip file to the root directory  of your Eclipse installation. 

For example, if you installed the Eclipse Project SDK on d:\eclipse-sdk\ then extract the contents of the examples zip file to d:\eclipse-sdk\ (the subdirectories named eclipse should line up).

Start the workbench. The workbench will report that updates have been detected; accept them. The examples are now installed in the workbench.
