Overview

The 

https://github.com/gnuarmeclipse

 includes a set of open source Eclipse plug-ins and tools to create/build/debug/manage 

ARM

(32-bits) and 

AArch64

 (64-bits) applications and static/shared libraries, using the latest 

GNU ARM GCC

 toolchains. 

Eclipse Marketplace

Aiming to further improve the user experience while installing/updating the plug-ins, the 

GNU ARM Eclipse

 project was registered to 

https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/gnu-arm-eclipse

:

Benefits

The main advantage of using the Eclipse Marketplace is a 

simplified install procedure

, no longer requiring to manually enter the update site address.

The Install button

The Eclipse Marketplace not only provides a centralised index to locate projects, it goes one step further and provides a drag-and-drop browser button.

As seen above, the button can be included in any web page.

To use it, just 

drag-and-drop the button to a running Eclipse

, and the plug-ins to install/update will be automatically identified:

If, for any reason, this does not work, it is always possible to search the Eclipse Marketplace manually from within Eclipse menus:
