Oh dear.

While trying to add Emacs+ to my latest Eclipse installation (2018-12 / 4.10.0), I discovered that the mulgasoft.com domain expired on 3/1/2019. Hopefully it will be renewed?! If not, is there an alternate site or method by which I can install Emacs+? I still have my older Eclipse installation in place. So I tried the Export > Install > Installed Software Items to File but it failed to complete as it could not reach the update site.

I sure hope Mulgasoft is not gone. I would gladly contribute to help keep the Emacs+ plug-in alive.

Hi,
   Thanks for letting me know.  It seems google was remiss in notifying me.   They claim it may take up to 24hrs to process.  Although I'm no longer supporting the plugin, I'm happy to keep the site alive as long as it can limp along on its own.  Note that the sources are available on Github for the foolhardy.
   If you would be so kind as to let me know if/when it is installable again, and what its behavior is like on the current Eclipseoids, I'd appreciate it.

   Thanks,
       Mark

Are you also going to restore the wiki site?

Well, I spoke too soon.  Google has been surprisingly unhelpful and the hassle factor has now exceeded my interest in keeping this alive (not to mention the complete lack of any "interest" by the user community [if there is such a thing] for some time now).  Therefore, it is time to say goodnight Gracie.

So sorry to hear of the hassles you've been put through. I probably speak for many others in extending our appreciation for the plug-in that makes us old-time Emacs-ers feel at home on Eclipse. Thanks for the great work.

Awww, nuts.  This plugin is my favorite for Eclipse, by far.

BTW, if all you need is web space to host the plugin (and/or website), I have www.muztek.net, and I am quite willing to set up some space for you...

Mark, I agree with other long time emacs users that this is an indispensable plugin.

I built Emacs+ from github sources.  I needed to make one small change:
I temporarily installed it here and it installed okay:

I am willing to support this to keep it going.

Hello Standford,
Thank you kindly for providing the link to the installation. Would you kindly provide information on how to integrate it into eclipse, especially artifacts.jar and content.jar
Thanks again.

I am in the process of becoming the maintainer for this so it can be setup to install easily.  Meanwhile what I did was:
 Help -> Install New Software -> Add  https://scox.fedorapeople.org/e4macs/  -> Emacs+ -> Next

Stan, Thanks for setting up a new hosting site for this invaluable plug-in. Your directions got me back up and running! I installed it on Eclipse 2018-12 and it worked as smooth as ever! Greatly appreciated.

Stan,
Thanks, thanks, thanks! Works as a charm on 2019-06!
I simply cannot use eclipse without it.
Cheers
