<p>
<ul>
<li>In Eclipse, choose <b>Help -> Install New Software...</b></li>
<li>Click on the <b>Add</b> button on the right. </li>
<li>Type in a Name in the textbox. For example, type: <b>ECF 3.8.1</b>.</li>
<li>Paste the following URL into the Location field. <br><br>
<b>http://download.eclipse.org/rt/ecf/3.8.1/site.p2</b></li>
<li> Click OK. </li>
<li>Select the first <b>two</b> check boxes for install into Eclipse..i.e.
<b>ECF OSGi Remote Services/Remote Service Admin SDK</b> and the <b>ECF SDK for Eclipse</b>.
To explain: The ECF repository has four top-level items for install: </li>
<ol>
<li><b>ECF OSGi Remote Services SDK</b></li>
<li><b>ECF Patch for Eclipse Kepler (4.3). Not needed for Eclipse Luna (4.4).</b></li>
<li><b>ECF SDK for Eclipse</b></li>
<li><b>ECF Supplemental File Transfer Providers. Not needed for Eclipse Luna or Kepler.</b></li>
</ol>
<p>
<b>PLEASE NOTE:
<ul>
<li>If you are installing ECF into to Eclipse Kepler (4.3)</b> you must check the item <b>ECF Patch for Eclipse Kepler (4.3)</b>...in addition to any other items</b>.
If, however, you are installing into Eclipse Luna (4.4), <b>you must not check this item</b>.</li>
<li>For nearly all cases, you should select the <b>ECF SDK for Eclipse</b> and/or the <b>ECF OSGi Remote Services SDK</b>. The <b>ECF SDK for Eclipse</b> includes the
<b>ECF Remote Services SDK</b>. Generally, you should <b>not</b> install the ECF Supplemental File Transfer Providers and so you should make
sure that this category is <b>unchecked</b>.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Of course, you may also uncheck the <b>Group items by category</b> checkbox and choose the individual ECF features ala carte to get only the features of ECF that you wish.
<li>Click on Next.
<li>Follow through the remaining dialogs to complete the installation.</li>
</ul>
<p>
To uninstall ECF SDK
<ul>
<li>Choose <b>Help -> Install New Software...</b></li>
<li>Click on <b>already installed</b> (lower part of install manager dialog)</li>
<li>Click on <b>Installed Software tab</b></li>
<li>Click on <b>ECF SDK</b></li>
<li>Click on <b>Uninstall ...</b></li>
</ul>
