Question

Unable to install TW Eclipse plugin in Eclipse

When I try to add the extension plugin repository in the "install new software" screen it won't even display the zip file for the thingworx plugin. I can only see the folder if I extract it and then I get errors saying it could not find the file.

In the Install New Software... wizard, you need to first click Add..

This will have you specify a repository. So, now click Archive... and select your plugin zip, click Open. Next, give the repository a name and click OK. If your newly created repository doesn't fill in the "Work with..." field, simply dropdown and select it. You should see items in the table below.

Let us know if that helps.

Odd - looks like the Marketplace wrapped our plugin zip with another zip. You need to unzip the download first, to expose our plugin zip - then use the plugin zip to install into Eclipse.

Thanks for posting this - we will look into it.
