I am fairly new to Eclipse tools. I am looking for a EBCIDIC/Hex editor that can be used within Topaz Workbench 20.05 to work with mainframe files.
Can anyone please advise:
I need to save the plugin so that it can be scanned before installation. I can only see an option to either drag and drop it, or to install it from the site. Is there a way to save the plugin as a file?
Any brief instructions about incorporating it into Topaz Workbench and will it appear as a new drop-down option anywhere?
Thank you,

Hello Sunil,
according to "https://docs.compuware.com/kb/KB1905/HTML/TopazWorkbench_Install/Responsive%20HTML5/TopazWorkbench_Install/Overview/Overview.htm#XREF_55698_Overview" Topaz Workbench is an Eclipse-based IDE that is installed on Microsoft Windows. Topaz Workbench can also be installed as features into Eclipse or IBM’s IDEs.
Hence you can simply add the update site "https://javahexeditor.sourceforge.io/update" for the java Hex Editor plugin via the "Help / Install New Software" menu. It will appear as context menu entry "Open With / Hex Editor".
Downloading the plugin by hand is not that simple, because the file name is changed with every build only is only available in machine readable form for the Eclipse installer. Hence I'd recommend you use install Eclipse on your private PC and use the standard update site/procedure to get the plugin on your local hard disk. If that does now work, please send a mail and I'll provide the plugin to you directly.
Best regards, Peter.
