It is like this :

  • open eclipse.themes.darker.site/site.xml in Eclipse (4.2+), then use the "Build All" button generate a local update site/repo in the eclipse.themes.darker.site itself.

  • Finally, use that update site to install the plugin, like this(borrowed from Google plugin site^_^):

  • In Eclipse, choose Help > Install New Software...

  • In the "Work with" section, click the Add... button. The "Add Repository" dialog box appears.

  • Click Local and select the directory - eclipse.themes.darker.site(it is that directory in your Eclipse workspace), then click OK. Its path appears in the "Location" field. Make the "Name" field everything you like(it is just a name!). Then click OK.

NOTE: you are want to use the remote update site, please type the url of update site - "http://jinmingjian.github.com/updatesite/" in the "Location" field(Do not include the quotation marks). Make the "Name" field everything you like(it is just a name!). Then click OK.

  • Continue with step 2 of the GPE 4.2 installation instructions[1], as summarized here:

a. Select the software components you want.

b. Click Next to review the list of items to be installed, click Next again to read and accept the license agreements, then click Finish. Eclipse will then install any external dependencies if needed, and add the chosen components to the Eclipse installation.

c. When asked, Restart Eclipse.
