How to install Web Platform Tools in Eclipse?

Question

Which URL do I install this and any pre-reqs from, and how can I install them? Been struggling with this for the last 1 hour with no luck.

Answer 1

I try my best to stick to Pulse, which handles a lot of the configuration of Eclipse plugins for you. I'm not associated with them by the way, but am very happy with the service. WTP is one of the features they provide.

Answer 2

The Eclipse update site URL to use with the update manager is:

http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/updates/

...though it should already be listed as one of the defaults. If you want to download and configure the plugins, you can get them here.

Also, see the FAQ:

Answer 3

Hi,

If you can use a clean install of Eclipse. Download Enterprise Java version. WTP its included in this Eclipse distribution. When you need updates for WTP, you can get updates via "Eclipse Software Updates" tool.
