Are new open-source plugins for Eclipse available for MyEclipse out-of-the-box? -
I could not find clear information about this: if a new eclipse plugin develops, then it is supported by MyEclipse ? Or should I wait until Genuitec is releasing a new version of MyEclipse, which can also support this new plugin?
I want to understand that adding my existing plug-ins to myEclipse couple, so that I'm not open for the development of the new plugin like I would have been using regular eclipse.
My dilemma is with MyEclipse Blue 8.6, Eclipse 3.6 and finally 7.5 RAID. I'm only considering MyEclipse Blue because I want to embed WebSpace 7.0. Otherwise I would definitely go with regular eclipse. It is similar that I believe 7.5 Red will behave like a regular eclipse (3.4 though) in relation to the new Eclipse Plugins (i.e. they will be available directly).
I hope this is clear. Thanks in any case, Daniel
MyEclipse is a custom delivery of ELPS, such as RAD. A third party's eclipse plugin can not work with distribution based on the description of the plugin or it may be, the version of the base platform on which the distribution is based on which it has plugins, etc.
There is no general answer to your question. It all depends on the specific plug-in which you are trying to install and how it interacts with other plugins.
One thing to know about MyEclipse is that it does not use the Eclipse Web Tool Platform (WTP)) to deliver Java EE and App server integration. Every other plugin in the Java EE space will be integrated with WTP so if the plugin is in Java EE space, the chance is that it will not be installed in MyEclipse or will not function properly when installed. If the plug-in is not in Java EE space, then MyEclipse is more likely to work without problems.
