I reckon you have zips. Uncompress them and copy the contents of features and plugind into the features and plugin folders of your eclipse folder.

That plugin business can be a burden sometimes. A safe option is to

start Eclipse with the '-clean' option, i.e. it'll check for new plugins if that

flag is passed.

A more rigorous, hackerish approach is to delete the entire eclipse/configuration

and restart eclipse afterwards ...

As always, the plugins should be located in the eclipse/plugins directory.

kind regards,

you have what plugins? Ones you downloaded? They should already be in the right directory structure in the zip file. You need to extract the whole zip file to eclipse/plugins. You can't usually open winzip and drag all the files out, you need to use the extract option.

Afterwards, restart eclipse.

If that doesn't work, then maybe the plugins aren't for the version of Eclipse you are using.
