[WDSCI-L] Re: WDSc Plug-in install and configuration

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You should be able to drop most plugins into the 
...eclipse/plugin directory. There is a plugin 
installer but most people are not using it yet. 
I am not familiar with the MP3 player plugin, but 
I have used quite a few others.You might try going 
to the Window - customize perspective - dialog to 
see if there is a familiar sounding item. I would 
check under other. It is likely that you will find 
a checkbox that will add your buttons.

Greetings!

I am trying to get this eclipse thing figured out, configured, and in 
general, understood.  I have seen posts that state that you can add
plugins 
to the IDE that let you do just about anything you might want to.  To
test 
this out I downloaded and attempted to install the JMF and MP3 player 
plugin. The JMF lets me play the mp3 files.  Eclipse/WDSc V4.0 does not
do 
what I anticipated it doing, which is put the play buttons someplace in
the 
IDE tool bars. It does not seem to know that the plugin exists.

I then downloaded the latest stable Eclipse version  and tried to the
same 
thing, with the exact same result, ... nothing.  I know that it is my 
ignorance of the process and I must be overlooking something obvious,
but 
can someone direct me as to how plugins are installed into the IDE
(either 
Eclipse or WDSc or both)?  I have had limited success in doing what
seems 
to me to be an easy thing.  The search of help did not help.  It only 
confused me more.


Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
