Hi all, I'm needing to install the eclipse JDT.Core plugin locally (eg download the file with site.xml etc), as opposed to installing it remotely due to the horrible firewall at work. Can anyone suggest where to download it so i can do the local install? Thanks

I am not sure I ever saw an installation of jdt.core, since it is included in most of the eclipse distros (either Eclipse 3.5 Galileo or Eclipse 3.6 Helios)

That being said, the jdt core update site is part of the global Eclipse update sites, and I don't think you can easily download just the jdt.core part.

The easiest way would still be to download a full distro with JDT already included in it.

The problem is that we're using a bastardised version of eclipse that has been customised for a particular vendor. Sounds like we're screwed.

In the end, i downloaded JDT from the eclipse site, unzipped it's plugins and features folders into my eclipse distribution, and started eclipse with a '-clean' so it picked it up. Worked a charm.
