Install Sconsolidator Eclipse CDT plugin offliine?

I am using Eclipse CDT 4.6.3 on an offline Linux machine, and need to install SConsolidator. I've downloaded the archive from GitHub.

In Eclipse, I go to help > install new software, and have tried to add SConsolidator both as an archive with the zip folder, and local with the folder unzipped. In both cases, I get the error "could not find file". I've tried storing the zip file both in the workspace and out.

How can I install SConsolidator for Eclipse?

edit:

Attempting to use Maven to build the files from GitHub, still running into problems though

Solution

  • Help > Install New Software... requires an update site. Get a local copy of the update site by running following command from the command line within the Eclipse (at least the Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary) installation directory (adjust -destination to your needs):

    eclipsec -nosplash -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.mirrorApplication -source http://www.sconsolidator.com/update -destination file:C:/SConsUpdateSite/

    and

    eclipsec -nosplash -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.mirrorApplication -source http://www.sconsolidator.com/update -destination file:C:/SConsUpdateSite/

    Alternatively you can download following 7 files into a directory with the two subdirectories features and plugins:
