Installation site on release files

[WaldoFR]

Hi,

I'd like to know if it's possible to add the installation site or an installation archive on plugin's release ?

I'm not the developer so probably that is why do not understand the question, but could you elaborate please?

Hi,

Thank your for this fast answer,

Some of the Eclipse plug-in project include an archive with the udpate site including the features and plugins jar and the update site itself. For instance, Checkstyle does it https://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipse-cs/files/Eclipse%20Checkstyle%20Plug-in/8.7.0/ .

Being able to download the update site allow to install the eclipse plug-in from the archive directly. Which mean that with a simple HTTPS flow you are able to download the plugin. That's very usefull when a proxy configuration prevent you from using Eclipse Market or online update site, and that you can't build the project because dependancies are unreachable.

No problem :-)

Are these not working or sufficient?

https://github.com/kwin/cppcheclipse/releases

Myself I build it on a machine which has not prohibited proxy, with maven it's just a few lines and then I share myself the finished artefact locally which should work even offline and without a marketplace.

Or other option is to let some cloud service to build the artefact:

https://travis-ci.org/AntonKrug/cppcheclipse

And then configure the maven to export it somewhere for you?

Ok I found where to download it, the ZIP is available here :

I would advise you to link it, for people who prefer this mode of installation.

This is actually a duplicate of #79. But thanks for the link. I will make sure to include this on the release notes page.
