How do I install the PMD plugin in MyEclipse without using a software update?

I think that due to network wrangling in my company, I am unable to install PMD with

Sotware Update-> Search and Install.

I have tried these sites

http://pmd.sourceforge.net/eclipse

http://pmd.sf.net/eclipse

but a network error "Unable to access" occurs

Is there a place where I can download the plugin as a zip file and then put it in the plugins folder? Will this work?

I downloaded pmd-eclipse-1.8.0.zip from a site (which I don't remember now) and the PMD option appears when right clicking on the project / files, but options like "Check Code with PMD", "Fix Violations PMD "'etc. are not displayed in the context menu.

thank

you can try the following (assuming you are allowed to connect to eg pendrive at work). Create a mirror of the update site with the following command (use command line):

(more information: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Repository_Mirroring )



 ./eclipse -nosplash -verbose
  -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication
  -source Insert Source URL (e.g. http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.4milestones/)
  -destination Insert Destination URL (e.g. file:/tmp/3.4milestonesMirror/)

This will create a local mirror. take this directory with its contents to work, use your local update site pointing to the directory you copied from your pendrive. If it has a dependency that is not listed on the PMD update site, but somewhere else, I think you will have to do the same with that dependency (create a mirror ...) and configure the location of the updates correctly in your Eclipse (remove remote update sites ...)

You can download the eclipse pmd files and follow the official instructions using your local repository. If your company is blocking sourceforge, you must first complain - this is the developer's site for viewing documents, etc. If you are allowed to send files by email or use a portable drive, you can transfer them.



They are most likely blocking eclipse updates, not sourceforge, though.
