在Eclipse3.3安装Visual Editor

Visual Editor 目前官方只有针对Eclipse.3.2 的版本，但Eclipse逐渐转移到3.3版本，但官方还有出Visual Editor for Eclipse ,昨天为公司集成一个统一的开发工具环境，选了Eclipse3.3 ,一直装不上Visual Editor ,找了好久在http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Installing 终于找到答案。但见国内还没相应的资料，将安装大概意思在这里重述一遍，严重建议有能力的读者读原文

1 反安装 VE

2下载 3.0M1  http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/   ,需要里面的JEM( 点击 3.0M1 ,选择下载wtp-sdk zip,然后通过Eclipse  Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration  或 Help > Software Updates >Find and install 安装 (建议安装路径不要跟Eclipse 混在一起)

3 安装 VE ,从 SourceForge 下载

下载网址   http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=131065&package_id=154855  点击 "Visual Editor patched as in bug 202562"  选择  org.eclipse.visualeditor-1.3.0.200709121813.zip 下载，接着安装，安装方法同 上面 2

4 建立相应的配置文件

在安装3.0M1的plugins 目录下查找所有 org.eclipse.jem* ,将查找到plugins 拷贝到 安装  org.eclipse.visualeditor-1.3.0.200709121813.zip 的目录的plugins 下，并在该安装目录下的feature建立所有plugins jar名字对应的文件夹，每个文件夹都放置一下两个文件  feature.properties  ， feature.xml ，其中feature.properties  的内容都一样如下

featureName=Java EMF Model
providerName=Eclipse.org
updateSiteName=Visual Editor update site

feature.xml对应不同的文件夹内容不一样，注意 安装 org.eclipse.visualeditor-1.3.0.200709121813.zip ，里面有的feature.properties,feature.xml不能东
