I want an Eclipse J2EE plugin which I can install directly from Eclipse.

I searched about it on Google and found some ones but couldn't figure out how to download them directly from Eclipse.

One plugin I found was WTP but couldn't find the location of the WTP repository that I can enter in the Eclipse's Software Update tool.

I am using Eclipse 3.4.2 (Ganymede)

A: 

If you have Eclipse Galileo you should go to Help > Install New Software. Then the list of available sites to install updates will appear. You should add the WTP plug-in to this list, for example.

To do this, click on Add and enter the name and location (you can get this from the WTP site). Then, select this plug-in and click on Finish. That's it and it's valid to all plug-ins.

I know this already. The problem is that I couldn't find the location of that WTP that I can enter in the eclipse.Please read the Q carefully.

I warmly suggest to install Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers which already includes the Web Tools Platform (WTP) and much more (see this page for a full comparison).

As an alternative, you can download a zip of the Web Tools from here or install it via Update Manager using this URL:
