I am attempting to install sqlexplorer_rcp-3.6.1.macosx.cocoa into
Eclipse Galileo.
- I gunzipped sqlexplorer_rcp-3.6.1.macosx.cocoa.x86.tgz.
which produced sqlexplorer_rcp-3.6.1.macosx.cocoa.x86.tar.
- In Eclipse dir I tar -xvf sqlexplorer_rcp-3.6.1.macosx.cocoa.x86.tar
which produced dir SQLExplorer.
Now what? Having dir SQLExplorer is not sufficient for Eclipse to find.
Zipping the contents of dir SQLExplorer and unzipping them in
dir eclipse brakes eclipse as key files are over written.
What is the proper procedure for this?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
SQL Explorer is delivered in two different ways.
One kind is a standalone RCP application which is deployed for each supported platform.
The other kind is a platform independent plugin to be installed in an existing eclipse installation.
The better way to install the plugin is to use the SQL Explorer update site: http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net
Go to Help / Install new Software…, click Add… to add the update site. After reading the update site you should be able to select SQL Explorer and follow the instructions to install it.

Hi,
SQL Explorer is delivered in two different ways.
One kind is a standalone RCP application which is deployed for each supported platform.
The other kind is a platform independent plugin to be installed in an existing eclipse installation.
That means, you have downloaded the wrong file.
The current plugin file is sqlexplorer_plugin-3.6.1_SR1.zip which can be found here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/eclipsesql/files/SQL%20Explorer%20Plugin/3.6.1/
The better way to install the plugin is to use the SQL Explorer update site: http://eclipsesql.sourceforge.net
