A plug-in that I want to install provides an update site for installation. However, the Eclipse installation that I want to install it to is on a machine that is not connected to the Internet. Is there a way for me to access the site (HTTP, FTP, etc.) to download the files in it for offline installation?

Next, by using Git we'll create an Eclipse sandbox. The point is to install one plugin on a fresh Eclipse. Instead of installing fresh Eclipse every time we want to install a new plugin, we'd better use Git to create new branch of fresh Eclipse.
Now, we start the Eclipse of the ECLIPSE_SANDBOX and download the plugin. Once we're done, we shut the Eclipse down and check what new directories or files have been created (using Git). Remember that, we only care about new plugins and features directories and the contents inside them. So, we won't copy the rest into dropins.
For offline installation of SonarLint Eclipse, you can use one of the zipped P2 repositories available on our binary distribution server. E.g you can download the latest (as of writing) ZIP for 5.3.0, then configure it in Help -> Install New Software -> Add -> Archive.
I have an offline (no internet) eclipse install that I would like to install some plugins from the eclipse marketplace. It used to be that the marketplace site would provide link to download the 'update site' (Downloading Eclipse plug-in from Eclipse Marketplace for offline usage), but this is no longer the case. The 'install' and 'download' buttons in the marketplace are just a reference urls that only eclipse seems to understand what to do with.
Most Eclipse plugin providers offer an online update site, or an archive/zip file to download for offline usage. A good example for this is Eclox which provides both an update site (download.gna.org/eclox/update) and a zip archive of the update site for offline usage (download.gna.org/eclox/packages/eclox.update_0.8.0.zip). But not for all plugins. For example the Freescale CodeWarrior MCU10.6 Eclipse updates are available only online from a Freescale online update site, but are usually not available as separate downloads.
The solution is to mirror an online update site to a local folder and then distribute that folder for offline usage. This has the advantage that with this I can make a local copy of that update site and archive it. So if this site goes out of business or is not available any more, I still can update from the local mirror later on as needed.
Both things I can downloading using the command line version of Eclipse, using the -application command line switch. With this argument I can run a plugin, and there are two different ones in this context:
While with a local repository things are working fine, it has one disadvantage: there might be a lot of files, and passing/copy/distributing thousands of files is simply not scalable. Instead, I can create a (compressed) zip archive. For this, I create a zip file of the local repository with the plugins/features folders on top:
Hi Jeff,
I just checked it on my side, and it works as expected. However, I know that if I am on a very slow network, then I encounter such kind of things. And yes, in that case, I typically use an offline installer/download. It might be helpful if you do not install too many plugins at the same time: try to minimize the amount of download and install only one plugin after each other (if this is possible).

Hi Dominik,
it worked fine for me for several plugins/repositories, so I would have thought it should work for any repository. But I have not such a large repository. So it could be that this repository still has some other dependencies?
There could be many possible reasons, you may want to install eclipse plugins offline. There are many way to achieve this however, In this article I will explain 2 different ways of installing plugin with example of most popular plugin in automation testing.
In this step first locate eclipse installation folder, find a folder named "dropins" under eclipse installation. Under dropins folder you need to create a new folder. name it something like "testng-eclipse-6.11" Copy the both folders from step 2 inside the newly created 'testng-eclipse-6.11' folder. The folder structure should look like below
Launch eclipse , go to menu "Help" -> "Install New Software". This will show a Dialog with "Add" button. Click "Add" button -> Enter Name as "Cucumber Plugin" -> Click "Archive" -> Select the above downloaded zip file. -> Click Open/Ok -> Click "Add".
you should be able to see "Cucumber Eclipse plugin" in the list. Tick the checkbox and click "Next" to continue installation. you will need to accept license agreement and may be need to click on "Continue installation anyway" button to finish process.
I was working with one client with a locked down dev environment (i.e. no internet access on dev machines). They use TFS as their ALM tool. Long story short, I wanted to install the TFS Eclipse Plugin. The following are the steps that I went through to install the plugin offline.
When I work offline, this means with no network access to any external dependencies repository (for ex. no access to the internet), buildship is not able to initialize the projects (in eclipse) very well. Although the dependencies are listed correctly, the classes coming from external jars are not recognized by eclipse, which implies red markers (error) at many places in the eclipse project.
Thank you for your fast answer.
Sure I would. The problem now would be the time I would personally need to get into eclipse plugin development (never did it until now). If the feature is not present on 11.12.2016, I would start implementing it.
I have installed plugin version 1.0.0.202010091040 and can see that this supports Cucumber 4.2 Is there a planned date for the plugin to support Cucumber 6.x? The file cucumber.eclipse.backends.java_1.0.0.202010091040.jar contains cucumber-java-4.2.0.jar and cucumber-core-4.2.0.jar. Some of the Java classes ahve changed packages after version 4.5.
I have installed the latest plugin on Eclipse Version: 2020-06 (4.16.0), Build id: 20200615-1200. After installation completion and Eclipse restart I create a feature file under my project, Eclipse immediately shows a popup that the .feature file type not associated with any plugin available. It suggests to install a plugin from marketplace. Choosing the option opens marketplace wher I can see that this plugin is already installd. Please help.

Plugin installed and recognized the feature files and Gherkin syntax. But it is not detecting step definitons. I have a need to pull some step def from dependency jar as well. In my case, no step definitons are recognized. I also tried with Eclipse 2020-03 release as well. I installed all different ways, from eclipse marketplace, as a zip file. No luck. Any pointers please.
Recently updated the plguin's installation site with -eclipse-update-site for installing the most stable Plugin-Version-1.0.0 on your Eclipe-IDE. This plugin version(1.0.0) can be installed directly from your Eclipse-IDE's Eclipse-Market place window.

Red Hat Developer Studio includes the supported plugins from JBoss Tools, plus some additional tools, and comes bundled in an easy-to-use installer for Windows, Mac, and Linux (32- and 64-bit). It can be downloaded for free. Perfect for offline installs, as these bundles include everything you need to get up and running. Learn more here.
In the list of features in the Install dialog box, select the check box that corresponds to the Team Explorer Everywhere plugin. If you don't see this option, use the pull-down menu for "Work with:" and find the update site URL you just entered in the list and select it, then select the check box beside the plug-in mentioned above.
But I've found myself in situations were I was developing a module where only a few methods actually interacted with ECC, and for those offline would be awesome. Especially if code completion worked for the classes local to your our project. And even more awesome, if you could take whole packages offline for code completion and syntax checks.
For SAP Java, there's Netweaver Development Infrastructure that allows you to check in/check out code editing in Eclipse/Netweaver Developer Studio and build/test the application in a local and/or "offline" environment. I found this incredibly useful as a developer
ABAP_DOCU_FOR_ECLIPSE is (of course) not released for public usage. It is more a kind of test program that was used for trying out if it is feasible to deliver the ABAP Keyword Documentation for ADT as Eclipse plugins. It produces HTML files and an XML tree that fits into Eclipse's docu world. We tried it only once (it worked) but we decided to use the backend connection of the ADT instead. If you hit F1, the help page is requested from the backend (there is a program to test that too, ABAP_DOCU_HTTP_CALL). But that's what you want to circumvent.
