Description

I extracted the plug in zip and put the same into the plugins directory of
Eclipse and restarted the eclipse. but the plugin was not getting instatlled.

The version of the plugin was axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin-1.5.3.

doesn't eclipse automatically add the plugin after it has been put in the
eclipse/plugins

Please throw some light

Following are all the possibilities I pursued and in each case restarted the
eclipse:

• I extracted the axis2-eclipse-codegen-plugin-1.5.3 jar and put the same in
  the plugins folder.
• I repeated the above step and put the same in the dropins folder.
• I tried just dropping the jar in the plugins and the dropin folder
• I went to help->Install new software->Add repository and tried adding the jar
  in the archive but it says it is not a relevant update site. There is no place
  other than that in the Install new software UI I could browse to the folder ot
  the location of the jar.
  *I Installed the axis2 tools again from the Web tools platform 3.2.0 in the all
  available sites from the Install new software UI.
• I tried all the above things from two different eclipse installations
  Version: Helios Service Release 1
  Build id: 20100917-0705
  and also on other machines

I am a newbiw to axis2 and I need those code gen plugin to be working so that
it makes my task a little easy. Please treat this matter as of urgent
importance. I am stuck with not able to install the pluin for the past two
days.

& also to add the directory structure when i put the plugin in the plugins
folder is

eclipse-jee-helios-SR1-win32\eclipse\plugins\org.apache.axis2.eclipse.codegen.plugin_1.5.3
->icons
->lib
->META_INF
->org
->help_toc
->LICENSE
->NOTICE
->plugin

& also to add there was no specific info on the error log view in eclipse

I testes both 1.5.3 and 1.5.2
