I'm running Eclipse 3.6.1 Classic, which does not come with the Eclipse Marketplace plugin by default. I've looked around the Eclipse website, but I don't see an available plugin for installing Eclipse Marketplace. Am I just not seeing it?

Any particular reason you cannot just download a distribution which has this plugin? - Thorbjørn Ravn Andersen
It would be much easier for me to just download and install the plugin through Eclipse, since I'm currently using Eclipse on a remote Linux box. It would be a pain to download a new version of Eclipse and copy the right files into the Eclipse directories. - Thomas Owens
refer eclipse.org/mpc. - Jichao

Help → Install new Software → Switch to the Kepler Repository → General Purpose Tools → Marketplace Client

If you use Eclipse Luna SR 1, the released Marketplace contains a bug; you have to install it from the Marketplace update site. This is fixed again in Luna SR 2.

With Eclipse 3.7 Indigo, I found the link at http://www.eclipse.org/mpc/ which told me the download location and plugin was http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/indigo/ Which made the "Eclipse Marketplace Client" available in my Software updates after I added that address as a repository. Didn't seem to be in the core list on a fresh install.

The easy way to do it

  1. Help--> Install New Software

  2. In the box type in http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/juno

  3. General Purpose Tools--> Select Eclipse Marketplace checkbox and Finish.

Along with these steps I tried To install the whole bunch of software, but it gives an error later. So please make sure you select only one or two at a time.
