Features and Plugins for Eclipse

Welcome to the Download page for Eclipse features and plugins to leverage Day Software products with your Eclipse IDE.

Eclipse supports basically supports two kinds of installation types:

Installation through the Eclipse Update Manager, which allows for guided installation of new features after downloading from the internet. See the section How to use Eclipse Update Manager below for a short introduction on how to configure the Day update site.
Manual installation by unpacking an archive file into the top level Eclipse installation directory.

The preferred installation method for Features and Plugins provided by Day is going through the Eclipse Update Manager. Of course the package files for download and manual installation will generally also be provided.
