I'm running Eclipse 3.6.1 Classic, which does not come with the Eclipse Marketplace plugin by default. I've looked around the Eclipse website, but I don't see an available plugin for installing Eclipse Marketplace. Am I just not seeing it?

  • Any particular reason you cannot just download a distribution which has this plugin? – Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen Mar 12 '11 at 21:31

    It would be much easier for me to just download and install the plugin through Eclipse, since I'm currently using Eclipse on a remote Linux box. It would be a pain to download a new version of Eclipse and copy the right files into the Eclipse directories. – Thomas Owens Mar 12 '11 at 21:35
  • refer https://www.eclipse.org/mpc/. – Jichao Mar 08 '15 at 16:55

Help → Install new Software → Switch to the Kepler Repository → General Purpose Tools → Marketplace Client

If you use Eclipse Luna SR 1, the released Marketplace contains a bug; you have to install it from the Marketplace update site. This is fixed again in Luna SR 2.

Marketplace update site:

    Thanks. The problem was when I went to "All Available Sites", the Helios update repository wasn't there, so my searching turned up no results. Adding the Helios Repository then going to General Purpose Tools revealed it. – Thomas Owens Mar 12 '11 at 22:09

    Thanks Tom - why these instructions cannot be placed on the marketplace site is beyond me :-/. It may be worth noting that the eclipse update URL for the Helios Repository is http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/ - in the standalone version of Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2 which is based on Eclipse 3.6.1, the Helios update repository is not listed. – Danlance Jul 08 '11 at 15:06
  • FYI: Mine just sat there when I pointed it to the Helios repo. using the Indigo as described in Subramanya's answer worked great for me. – pennyrave Apr 05 '12 at 16:08

    Worked perfectly! The new Eclipse Juno is out now, so if you're up to date use the Juno repo instead of Helios. – Brian Wigginton Oct 21 '12 at 02:08

    In case anyone is wondering the address for Juno repository: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno/ – TastyCode Jan 04 '13 at 21:49
  • This accepted answer also fixes the marketplace in Zend Studio 12, which is essentially Eclipse Luna. Only posting this as it took me some searching to figure it out myself. – webfractor Apr 21 '15 at 15:45
  • Where in the world are you finding this "help" button? Does it exist in the Linux version or only windows? – Seth Aug 25 '16 at 20:17

The steps below are for Eclipse Indigo Classic Version.

  1. Help->Install New Software...
  2. Point to Eclipse Indigo Site, If not available add the site "Indigo - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/indigo"
  3. Work with the above site
  4. Look at "General Purpose Tools"->Marketplace Client
  5. After installing, restart Eclipse and you can find Marketplace in "Help->Eclipse Marketplace..."

    +1 Nice step-by-step guide on how to do it. I edit it to fix the numbered list (so it'll be in a list, and not just a long paragraph) and minor grammar fix of the first sentence. – Shalom Craimer Dec 22 '11 at 06:20
  • I tried a modified version for Juno, http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno replaced indigo by juno all in small caps and it worked.. :) – Kailas Aug 28 '14 at 06:13

With Eclipse 3.7 Indigo, I found the link at http://www.eclipse.org/mpc/ which told me the download location and plugin was http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/indigo/ Which made the "Eclipse Marketplace Client" available in my Software updates after I added that address as a repository. Didn't seem to be in the core list on a fresh install.

The easy way to do it

  1. Help--> Install New Software

  2. In the box type in http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/juno

  3. General Purpose Tools--> Select Eclipse Marketplace checkbox and Finish.

Along with these steps I tried To install the whole bunch of software, but it gives an error later. So please make sure you select only one or two at a time.
