In situations where you need to be able to install Vaadin Eclipse Plug-ins w/o access to the main update-site ("offline"), you can create a mirror containing all the dependencies needed to install Vaadin Plug-in for Eclipse and Vaadin Designer.
First clone this project, then run
mvn package
target/vaadin-update-site now contains the update-site. You can serve this from your own server, or use it as a local update-site.
In Eclipse
- Help -> Install New Software
- Click "Add..."
- http://your.server.ip/path/to/vaadin-update-site OR press "Local..." if you have the site locally on your computer
- Check the "Vaadin" category (or both plug-ins individually)
- Uncheck "Contact all update sites [...]"
- Click "Finish" and restart Eclipse when prompted
