Offine installation of PMD plugin for Eclipse IDE

Question

I am trying to download and install PMD plugin for Eclipse offline but did not succeed in doing so.

I downloaded following 2 zips:

• net.sourceforge.pmd.eclipse-3.2.6.v200903300643.zip (this version matches with the one which I installed online)
• pmd-eclipse-1.8.0

Not sure which one to use and how to configure it in Eclipse.

I searched a lot but did not find proper steps for the offine installation and configuration.

Answer 1

In case it contains site archieve:

Goto Help->Install New Software

Click Add...

In the Add Repository Dialog click Archive and point to your zip. Rest of the installation is as you would do with an online installation.

Else:

Extract the zip Copy all plugins to your target eclipse plugins folder

Copy all features to your target eclipse features folder

launch eclipse with -clean option
