Basics

There is a nice detailed blog article which describes how to install the Eclipse plugins.
The description is for Linux, it works exactly the same on Windows.
The syntax is shown with an example and it is explained how to get to the repository information.

Here is an example for the Windows Commandline:

C:\Program Files\eclipse\jee-latest-released\eclipse\eclipse.exe -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository http://download.eclipse.org/releases/oxygen -installIU org.eclipse.jgit.http.apache.feature.group

However, there are some problems with automation:

• The plugins cannot be installed in parallel mode, at least this didn’t work for me.
• Prerequisits will not be automaticly installed.

The automated solution:

First you have to manually try out the commands to get the order and dependencies/prerequsits right.

The loop in the script will sequentially process the installations…if a plugin installation takes more than 5min the Eclipse process will stop and the next plugin will be installed.

Don’t forget ro Run Powershell in elevated mode.
