I have Eclipse version Oxygen 2 and I'd like to upgrade to the latest SimRel version instead of doing fresh install because I have many configurations etc. I've tried to update using Install/Update tab with repository link http://download.eclipse.org/releases/simrel like in the previous versions but this time the repository link is incorrect, I've also tried other links but still no success. Is the repository stored in other place?
Is update from Oxygen to SimRel supported? If yes then how can I do it?
Use the update site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/latest/ to upgrade to the latest release (which is currently 2018-09).

This question is similar to this one. I know you need to have this plugin to support Java 15 in eclipse 2020-09, however, it doesn't seem to be available any longer.
When I try to install it via the marketplace, I am getting this error:
No repository found at
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.17-P-builds/.
Is there a way to install it from other sources?
I know that eclipse 2020-12 has been released, but we cannot use it due to bug #569498 (which didn't happen in eclipse 2020-09). So we would really need a way to install Java 15 support in eclipse 2020-09.
Because of regressions in 4.18, I decided to recreate 4.17-P-builds repository.
Please note this will be available till 4.19 is released or we decide to create a patch for 4.18 release.
I got a answer from the eclipse forums
Java 15 support is included in eclipse 4.18(2020-12). As part of
cleaning old releases we removed 4.17-P-builds repo as it is not
supported anymore.
Please upgrade to 2020-12 to continue work on java 15
Is it just me or have they made this absolutely impossible?
On a fresh install of Eclipse Kepler (with m2e 1.4.1) I'm getting a bug with the m2e lifecycle plugin so have decided to do a basic update of the plugin to see if it fixes the issue.
I go to update the version via Help > Check For Updates and of course it says there are no updates, which isn't true.
How about updating manually then. Help > About Eclipse > Installation Details > Update on the plugin itself. Nope, still reports it as up to date, when it's not.
OK, how about Help > Install New Software then adding the release site : http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/releases/ then Select All > Next on 1.8.3 version. Eclipse tells me it can't perform the operation because 1.4.1 is already installed, well duh, I'm trying to update the version, but nope doesn't let me bump up the version, just some weird merge which doesn't fix the issue.
OK, now I'm annoyed, how hard should this be? I decide to nuke m2e from the eclipse installation. I go to Help > Installation Details select the plugin and uninstall. Then follow the steps above to add back 1.8.3 version from the update site except....nope. 1.4.1 is still installed and I'm not allowed to update it again according to Eclipse.
OK, this is getting bad now, I read a few articles online which seem to be in agreement that the only way to make m2e disappear is to delete all references to it from the plugin and features folders. I do this and attempt to reinstall 1.8.3 from the update site. Nope...1.4.1 is still installed according to Eclipse and yet again I can't update. Are you relally telling me I have to start hacking around in the configuration files to delete a plugin?
Has anyone actually been able to successfully do this on Kepler or should I just give up and start using IntelliJ? How such basic things are made so difficult is beyond me, Eclipse's plugin management is horrific.
I'm not able to find the grails perspective in my latest release download of spring tool suite 3.8.2
I've created GRAILS_HOME varialble as C:\grails-2.4.4
path variable as %GRAILS_HOME%\bin
and similarly JAVA_HOME and its path variable.
Still not able to find the Grails perspective in STS.
The Grails support is no longer available for the Spring Tool Suite, at least not the Grails support that we worked on in the past. There was an announcement from Pivotal about the general topic a while ago: https://blog.pivotal.io/pivotal/news/groovy-2-4-and-grails-3-0-to-be-last-major-releases-under-pivotal-sponsorship. This also included to not working on the tooling for Eclipse anymore.
If you want to, you can download the final version of the Groovy-Grails-Tool-Suite from here: https://spring.io/tools/ggts/all. It is version 3.6.4, based on Eclipse 4.4.2.
The marketplace entry that is mentioned in another comment refers to this version of the Groovy-Grails support - and should not be installed on Eclipse versions higher than 4.4.2.
We also do not officially support and work on the Groovy support for Eclipse anymore, but there is still a version available that works with the latest versions of Eclipse.
If you are (or someone else is) interested in taking over those tooling projects, feel free to reach out to us. We would be more than happy to provide some support in taking over those projects.
Looks like this has been dropped some time ago:

I was asked by a vendor to upgrade JxBrowser on 1 of our machines to 4.3.
How do I find out which version we currently have? and
How to upgrade to version 4.3
In addition this seems to be used mostly for Chrome and so do we still need to do this if we dont use chrome there?
Thanks.
Currently used JxBrowser version can be known by simply looking which version of JAR are you using and the latest jar is jxbrowser-6.8.jar which means they are running on jxbrowser version-6.8. To upgrade to a newer version download the latest jars, include them in your class path and rebuild your application. Check their site for further clarifications and licencing.
How can I get Java 8 to work with Eclipse?
I have followed this guide but doesn't work. I've also seen the Eclipse Java 8 wiki page, but they don't explain what to do with the checked out git repositories.
For Kepler SR2 (4.3.2) a feature patch needs to be installed in order to get JAVA 8 support. Follow these steps:
Eclipse - Help (MENU) > Install New Software...
enter the following URL into the 'Work with' field:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.3-P-builds/
press 'Enter'
select category 'Eclipse Java 8 Support (for Kepler SR2)'
click 'Next'
click 'Next'
accept the license
click 'Finish'
restart Eclipse when asked

In order to have the desired JRE/ JDK on BuildPath, follow these steps.
Right click on Project from Package Explorer
Select BuildPath and then select Configure Builpath
Select Libraries Tab from the popped up Properties window
Select the current JRE System Library
Click Remove button
Click on Add Library button
Select JRE System Library
There you will be able to add your desired JRE/ JDK version using 3 different methods.
If you don't find your desired version of JRE/ JDK there in those 3 options, then you will have to install that first. The following link helps you in detail with screen shots to do the same. Hope it helps.

As written in https://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core/Java8 :
"Starting with I20140318-0830 all our Luna (4.4) builds contain the Eclipse support for Java™ 8. For Kepler SR2 (4.3.2) a feature patch is available. "
So right now you need to download a non stable eclipse release.
Go to :
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
There download a release older than or equals to I20140318-0830
Then you choose your version according to your OS :
click on the (http) link, the download will start :
Note that according to eclipse website :
Java™ 8 has not yet landed in our standard download packages. But you can add it to your existing Eclipse Kepler SR2 package. It will be included in the Luna packages starting with M7 on May 9/2014.
so after May 9/2014 getting eclipse working with java 8 will be simpler.
Now that Java 8 has shipped, Eclipse has released support for it. Java 8 is available as an 'update' for Eclipse Kepler (Eclipse 2013 release) and is available in integration / nightly builds towards Eclipse Luna (Eclipse 2014 release). For more information about enhancements and how to install it in your current version of the IDE, see http://eclipsesource.com/blogs/2014/03/25/eclipse-support-for-java-8/
It appears that this is still very much a work in progress (hence, there will be stability issues). Is there a particular reason you want to use Java 8?
This explains what you should be doing:
Checkout the BETA_JAVA8 branch of the following git repositories:
JDT/Core repository - git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core.git
You need to install a JDK8 build as an installed JRE in order to run the tests using the JavaSE-1.8 Execution Environment.
For more information on how to work with git repositories, look at http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Git_Workflows .
As API Baseline, use 3.8 (or 3.8 RC4 until 3.8 is released).
I have not downloaded this repo, but I would assume it contains the eclipse jdt core (as the name states). I would just wait until a stable release is finished.
As already stated here:
The Kepler release does not include Java 8 support, as Java 8 still isn't released yet. Try again with the next Eclipse release or use Eclipse beta releases like the one by e(fx)clipse. Have a look at this bug report from time to time for progress on Java 8 in Eclipse's JDT.
EDIT: Starting with I20140318-0830 all Luna (4.4) builds contain support for Java 8. The final version of Eclipse Luna (4.4) will be released at the end of June 2014. For Kepler SR2 (4.3.2) a feature patch needs to be installed.

For Eclipse Mars.1 Release (4.5.1) you have to download extra package with
jre-8u73-windows-x64.tar.gz
to your java8/jre folder and point it in -VM section in eclipse.ini. It works for me.
