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)

...

The following Oracle and OpenJDK versions are supported:

  • Java 8

  • Java 11 - The following features are not supported:

    • embedded data repository server
    • WebMethods tool
    • WebLogic JMX monitor (Load Test)
    • Call Back tool in Load Test
    • Message Stub tool in Load Test

.

...

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:

Code Block
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.
