This topic explains how to installVirtualize from a Eclipse p2 update site.  

Prerequisites

This installation method is supported for Eclipse 4.2 to 4.16 (2020-06).

When installing from the update site, you need to install the Eclipse Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). You can download and install Eclipse GEF from http://www.eclipse.org/gef/.

We also recommend configuring the osgi.bundlefile.limit property to 0 (unlimited) for Windows or 300 for Linux and macOS when starting Eclipse. For example:

eclipse.exe -vmargs -Dosgi.bundlefile.limit=0

The osgi.bundlefile.limit property limits the number of JAR files the Eclipse framework will keep open. In Eclipse 3.5 and later, this property defaults to 100, which may be too low and result in performance issues. Setting the property manually overrides the default setting. If you experience crashes or a "Too many open files" exception after setting the property to the recommended values, try setting the property to a lower limit.

Installation

1. Launch Eclipse and choose Help> Install New Software.
2. Add the p2 update site zip file as follows:
   1. Click the Add button. An Add Site dialog will open.

3. Select the features that you want to install, then click Next and follow the prompts to complete the installation process.
