-- Installation on Eclipse 3.4 (and later) --
The recommeded way to install the plugin on Eclipse 3.4 (and later) is via the plugin update site http://eclipse-cs.sf.net/update/
Alternatively the Checkstyle Eclipse Plug-in can be downloaded from the Eclipse
Checkstyle Plug-in's SourceForge download site.
The download consists of a archived update site
(file name net.sf.eclipsecs-x.x.x.buildstamp-updatesite.zip
), containing all mandatory and
optional parts of the plugin.
The plugin can be installed from the archived update site in the following
ways:
- via Eclipse's P2 Installation Manager similar as described above, pointing to the archive file instead
- extracted into Eclipse's
dropins
folder. Anyway this is not particularly recommended, so if you don't know what I am talking about, don't bother.
