The continuous integration server generates nightly snapshot releases each day 23:00 CET which instantly become available at the snapshot update sites above. In regular intervals, the Buildship team also creates new milestone releases and makes them available at the milestone update sites.
Apply the following instructions to install the latest snapshot or milestone of Buildship into Eclipse.
- In Eclipse, open the menu item Help >> Install New Software.
- Paste the appropriate update site link into the Work with text box.
- Click the Add button at the top of the screen, give the update site a name, and press OK.
- Ensure that the option Group Items by Category is enabled.
- Select the top-level node Buildship: Eclipse Plug-ins for Gradle once it appears.
- Click Next. This may take a while.
- Review the list of software that will be installed. Click Next again.
- Review and accept the licence agreement and click Finish.
If you have already installed Buildship, you can update to the most recent version by opening the menu item Help >> Check for Updates. Note, that the update works only if Buildship was installed from the updates sites from download.eclipse.org or from builds.gradle.org, as listed above. If Buildship comes preinstalled in your Eclipse (for instance if you use the standard Eclipse for Java developers package) then you have to do the update manually. To do that just follow the steps from the previous section.
