Page does not load
Hi,
I am trying to download the NSIS plugin by clicking on the links provided here http://eclipsensis.sourceforge.net/index.shtml in the download section, it comes back with error message or it takes too long:

Download
There are two ways to download EclipseNSIS plugins:

(Recommended) Use the Eclipse Software Updates and Add-ons utility or the classic Eclipse Update Manager to connect to http://eclipsensis.sf.net/update and download the desired release.
Download directly from SourceForge and unzip into the Eclipse folder. However, using this method will NOT ensure that all prerequisites for using the plugins have been satisfied.

I am talking about the first and second link in the (Recommended) line. I can however go to the last link and pull down the jar files. Except that i don't know where to put the content of the jar files. And how to make eclipse consider this as a plugin.

I am using Windows 7. I did not find the documentation on the page on how to install a plugin into eclipse.

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
bramoin

Hi, this is bramoin again. I found the answer to this question i had and since i had to dig for it and finally asked my colleage for it. Here is the answer for anyone who will run into this:

If you already have an nsi script loaded into the Eclipse editor before you load the plug in you may have to exit and restart, I know I did but I don't recall exactly why I needed to.
Use the Help -> Install New Software menu to open the dialog.
Click the "Add" button
For description type "EclipseNSIS"
For address type "http://eclipsensis.sf.net/update"
Click OK, the archive will be queried and you should see a list of components.
Click "Select All" and install them.
