  • Can you please explain what exactly did you download? I download 4 jars inside features/ folder and pasted them to eclipse/dropins directory but nothing happened after restart. I can not find it installed in my Eclipse. I am using Eclipse Luna. I also tried downloading objectaid-1.1.8.zip and copied it to eclipse/dropins but no luck. – EMM Jan 27 '15 at 06:44

It looks like the update site is a legacy update site. I do not know if they are still supported by Eclipse.

Your best bet is to download the zip of the feature, which you can find here: http://www.objectaid.com/update/

And then unzip it into your eclipse/dropins directory.

    Restart Eclipse. See this SO post for more information about the dropins directory. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2763843/eclipse-plugins-vs-features-vs-dropins In general, you want to avoid using that way of installing plugins, but your case warrants it because the update site is not valid. – Andrew Eisenberg Jun 04 '12 at 02:14

The ObjectAid update site does work. I recently added ObjectAid successfully to my Eclipse Mars. I compiled the steps here. You can try it out. Also, make sure there's no firewall or network issue when you try it.
