Installing the Android Eclipse plugin: AUR vs Eclipse built-in install

The wiki suggests that you install the Android Developer Tools Eclipse plugin from the AUR. I had this running earlier in the year but, due to being away, mothballed my system for several months (I do this too often!) and found that after the update-orgy that followed, the Android plugins weren't showing up in any sense in my Eclipse interface. Since I wasn't mid-project, I decided it was easier just to entirely remove Eclipse and install it all from scratch. Then I noticed that Eclipse has a built in mechanism for installing plugins. My setup now works as before.
Of course "I did something wrong so it didn't work" is not the same as "it's a bad method", but what is the advantage of installing from the AUR as opposed to straight from Google? Should I add a comment to the wiki on this?

There are a couple of things we've found that can interfere with using a CS5 Suite SN with FB4 Plug-in:
- if you have multiple copies of FB4 Plug-in installed on your machine, only the first one will be able to use a Suite SN
- with some configurations, you need to have the qualifying CS5 Suite (Web Premium or Master Collection) installed on the same machine where you're running FB4 Plug-in.
To remedy the first problem, here's an approach we've found to work:
- uninstall all copies of FB4 Plug-in
- run the CS5 Clean Script, and if it finds additional copies of FB4 Plug-in, allow it to remove them. You can find the CS5 Clean Script here: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
- reboot before re-installing FB4 Plug-in.
After re-installing FB4 Plug-in, if you want to plug into multiple copies of eclipse on your system, you don't need to install it multiple times. Instead, just copy the link file from the dropins folder in the copy of eclipse (eclipse-host-distro) bundled with FB4 Plug-in, and paste that link file into the dropins folder of your own copy of eclipse. You can repeat this multiple times if you have more than one custom copy of eclipse to plug into.

  • Error while installing the Android 4.4 KitKat update - How do I fix it?

    Hello, I'm having a problem in which my phone will not install the android 4.4 update on my droid mini successfully. My phone has downloaded it over Wi-Fi and 4G LTE but the installation itself never actually works.
    After the first reboot during my installation, on my phone I see a picture of an android with a red exclamation sign that says Error. My phone reboots to the system and i see a notification box called "Software Update - Update Failed" and it's not working at all.
    I'm downloading it for the third time now so this is really frustrating to me. Here is a picture of my System update information:

        pacnet2014- It sounds like completing this update has been a hassle and that's not good. I have reviewed some information about your device and I see that others have had this issue. Have you tried completely master resetting the device? Try that and then try the software update again.

  • HT5037 I have installed the iPhoto Library upgrade, which confirms it was successfully installed, however when ever I try to open iPhoto 11, it refers me back to the bloody library upgrade again, so I can't use iPhoto any more.

    Thanks, it worked first time that  I double clicked as you suggested. 
    Why do Apple make it so hard to upgrade some programs?  They could make the follow through instructions a lot clearer.
    Now I have it open-  it works and.....................  it does look pretty neat.

    I installed the latest version of flash player and it said installed successfully and i can use it just fine, but when I checked system requirements it didnt seem to match. it needed 2.33 ghz and I have 2.13ghz. can this cause problems to my computer? i have an intel i3 proccessor, windows 7, internet explorer.

    Since all Intel i3 processors have at least 2 cores, your specs are well above the requirements; see http://ark.intel.com/products/family/75025#@All
    I have some computers with far slower processors, and Flash Player 14 works perfectly well on them too.

    My IPhone 5 installed the new IOS 7 update but it will not install.   Why?

    I imagine a ton of people are attempting to download, install, and reactive their devices it right now. Simple patience, maybe keep trying, and if possible, try a little later. Think of it as all those people lining up at Apple Stores + about a million more.

    Thank you for the answer!
    Well, I have tried this - they do not work. Would be interesting to know when the plugins are going to get ported to the latest eclipse version...

  • Firefox29, on a new win7 computer which has never had ff installed, will not install the latest flash plugin from adobe.

    I promise to refrain from venting my disgust :-) but when FF 9 blew up the entire web. I had all kinds of issues so I did things like Bill Gates taught us to do. I re-installed windows 7, brand new, formatted HD and all. The very first thing I did was open IE to download FF29 from the mozilla site and it installed. I went to pages I know have fits with flash on purpose, www.nydailynews.com, for instance and got the message that no flash was installed, do I want to install it? Well, yes, I have brand new FF on a brand new computer, so to ahead. Did the usual, installed Flash, shut down, and even rebooted the computer, and golly gee, the web pages tell me I have no flash installed. Its in IE, and of course chrome, and it appears in the installed program control panel, but I can't use flash with FF 29.
    I wiped the hard drive and reinstalled win 7, then installed ff 28. Went to adobe and installed their latest flash version, and still no flash in any version of firefox. I also checked the option to never update, but when I rebooted an opend FF29, it miraculously turned into FF29, and of course still does not work with the flash plugin.
    I think firefox has had a world of trouble with Adobe Flash for over a year and have hoped for a solution. Basically a browser that cannot run Flash media is totally useless. I wonder why this problem was no addressed and corrected, when instead all the the resources were put into raping my computer and forcing FF29 onto it?
    I am not a cry baby, who wants to complain, but will you please fix this issue so I don't have to abandon my favorite browser.. I don't enjoy Chrome, and IE is just not an option for me.
    Before you make any moreoverhauls on the UI, could you fix the problems with flash. I find it a little condescending to tell a 25 year user of computers to make sure " you have the latest versions" when in fact I have a brand new install of windows and the very latest from Adobe and Mozilla and they do no wok together, even when I down grade to FF 28, which as I told you, automatically upgrades to FF 29 each time I boot up.
    Please help. IF installing the latest Adobe onto a brand new hard drive and install of windows 7 fails, what do you suggest, as the usual " version issue" cannot apply here.
    FWIW, I have vista on my laptop with the same problems, the same reinstalls and the same guaranteed latest versions. Since the hd is formtted, there cannot be an residual FF dlls hanging around or in the registry.
    I have always seen open source as the way to the future, since the first PC arrived, but its looking like a bad idea.
    If you want to build a firefox that works, I will pay for it, so long as I can get help when things break. Browsers are huge in the web, so paying for reliable performance seems like a fair thing to do.
    I am sorry, but I am frustrated at the lack of progress towards a solution and really do not wish to be told to see if I am using the latest versions. I have taken every step possible and gone all the way to a brand new machine and FF does not work with flash reliably.
    Help? Please?

    adobe test page says it is installed. but I said, some pages I visit say I don't have it installed.
    I use prefbar ( I delete it and reinstall to make sure its not an issue) usually because it lets me turn off flash and avoid the crashing and locking up but when I check the flash block on prefbar, it says " plugin is not loaded"
    I posted from the machine that does not work, but it does not work on my Vista Laptop, or my daughter's computer either. In all cases, I wiped the drives and reinstalled the OS and went directly to Firefox for 29 and to adobe for their latest.
    Flash IS installed on my machine... It works in IE, and Chrome, but firefox 29 does not install the flash plugin, even tho the installer says all is well
    The reason I went totally clean is to make sure there was no process blocking it or if Java was creating the issue as well. The reality is, I started with a brand new computer, three times, and Flash will not load into Firefox 29 in any case
    I have started clean many times now and backed up and installed ff 28. I had no problem with the flash plugin using ff28, . I would have stayed there, but when shut down ff 28 and opened it later, it "magically downgraded to version 29" and i do mean " downgraded -( even tho I had gone into options and said do not install updates.
    I am grateful for your attention. I find that web browsers are very important anymore, an a non functional one makes the web a waste. I mentioned www.nydailynews.com and would really not want to make a long list of every page that demands a flash plugin, for they are legion that I don't have, mostly because when the page wants flash, FF locks up. Its will not even let me copy the URL to try and make a list, but the browser is totally locked up and I have to kill the process I get the message I have been getting for about a year that the shockwave plugin has stopped working. There is no shockwave on my computer.
    I know it looks like I have two different problems as the plugin does not load, but for instance, when I got it worrking in FF28, it loaded but constantly crashed an locked up the browser with the shockwave message, even tho I never install shockwave any time
    Frustration is the word for the day, or the week :-)
    Thanks much
    Kind regards,
    John

  • Install the Secure Document Plugin for Adobe Acrobat Reader

    I'm trying to view secure PDF files downloaded from an organization of which I'm member. My computer is registered with their site as I have linked my computer to my subsciption with their organization. Viewing PDF files downloaded from their site has worked fine for years until a couple of days ago.
    Now when I go to open the secure PDF files my web browser automatically opens to this site:
    http://plugin.fileopen.com/Default.aspx?bhcp=1
    ...which seems to be offering some bundle of plugins that I've downloaded four times now.
    But the secure document still won't open.
    I uninstalled my old Adobe Reader 9 and installed the latest Adobe Reader X1
    I've tried to re-register my computer with the organization's site but it won't allow me to register.
    A prompt appears saying:
    The security plug-in required by this command is unavailable.
    DRMRegistration.pdf
    I'm using Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
    Adobe Reader 11.0.0
    Any help opening these secure documents would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi!
    I am having the same exact problem! Same exact message and everything. Trumanwater were you ever able to get this to work? I have checked the download location for FileOpen and it's listed under plug-ins when I go into Adobe Reader via Finder; however, when I open Reader and go into "About Adobe Plug-Ins...", FileOpen is nowhere to be found and I continue to get the same message you are getting...I'm totally mystified! I'll be contacting my organization as well as FileOpen but figured I would ask you too!
    Thank you!

  • While installing the new final cut, it didn't want to install dvd studio

    I have the previous version of final cut, and installed the new studio (note I first bought final cut when all the apps came seperatly.) The question I have is, is there any diference in tghe new dvd studio pro than in the previous fcs bundle? It didn't have a check when it asked which apps to add, so I didn't, also after that I thought that apple had to have added some new templates ect?....does anyone know if there is a difference, and if there is, why didn't it auto upgrade like the rest...thank you

    Look into the License Manager in the National Instruments folder of your Start menu.  It is probably just a matter of activating LabVIEW 8.6 and possibly some other features with your new license code instead of your previous full version license code.
