    Hi,
    For some reason I don't see the SQL Explorer perspective after I've succesfully downloaded and unzipped the installation package into the eclipse-plugin folder.
    I also tried installing the software via Update Manager according to the instructions at http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net/. When I clicked on "Finish" I got the message: "No features found on the selected site(s). Choose a different site or site category".
    Any help will be appreciated!

      I am having the same issue one one machine, but not on another.  I have not been able to find any solution - any help would be appreciated.

      I do this: (eclipse version 3.3)

      Help -> Software updates -> Find and Install -> Search for new features to install -> click on 'new remote site' button, and fill in the URL, and give it a name

      I had to now uncheck the checkbox "ignore features not applicable to this environment".
      at least, I think this was it....
      maybe the check box "show the latest feature of a version only" would help also... but this is later on in the install process.... i think you need it before you first click the 'Finish' button.

      does this help?

      When I attempt install via this method (using update URL http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net/\), I get error:  "No features found on the selected site(s).  Choose a different site or site category."

      I am actually installing via the manual method of unzipping the .zip file into the eclipse install directory.  After doing so, I compared files in the features and plugins directories, and they are identical to those which are present on another machine which is not having this issue.

      Any other ideas?

      I could not reproduce that, but there is actually a little problem in the feature.xml file which could be the cause of the problem.
      Try the following:

      1) Check Help/About Eclipse/Plugin Details:
      The SQL Explorer Plugins should be listed (net.sourceforge.sqlexplorer... Version 3.5.0). If not, Check that the plugin jars are realy copied
      in the plugins folder of your eclipse installation. ;-)

      1) Check Help/About Eclipse/Feature Details:
      SQLExplorer plugin should be listed. If not:
      - Go to your eclipse installation directory and open
      features/net.sourceforge.sqlexplorer_3.5.0/feature.xml
      in the editor.
      Fromm the tag:
      <feature
            id="net.sourceforge.sqlexplorer"
            label="Eclipse SQL Explorer"
            version="3.5.0"
            provider-name="Eclipse SQL Explorer Project (eclipsesql.sourceforge.net)"
            plugin="net.sourceforge.sqlexplorer"
            nl="en_US">

      remove the nl="en_US" (don't delete the closing '>'):
      <feature
            id="net.sourceforge.sqlexplorer"
            label="Eclipse SQL Explorer"
            version="3.5.0"
            provider-name="Eclipse SQL Explorer Project (eclipsesql.sourceforge.net)"
            plugin="net.sourceforge.sqlexplorer">

      Restart eclipse.
      Open: Help/Software Updates/Manage Configuration
      Check the Toggle Button in the action bar to 'Show disabled features'.
      The SQLExplorer should be found in the tree. Enable it by clicking the 'enable' link in the details view.

      Now all should be fine.
      If not, check your eclipse error.log, please.
