The plugin worked fine under Zend Studio for Eclipse. Maybe it’s the Eclipse installation that is having issues with plugins (many of them had failed).
Thanks.

I’m using an older version of Java (1.5.x) so that may be an issue… You may want to contact the plugin author and see if he can provide some help?

The “-clean” switch didn’t worked.
Java Version: 1.6.0_10rc from Sun Microsystems Inc.

Well I’m on XP too though running MyEclipse. I dumped the file here: C:\Program Files\MyEclipse 7.0 M2\eclipse\plugins\cn.pande.eclipsex.fullscreen_1.0.7.jar

Have you tried restarting Eclipse with the -clean switch? And what version of Java are you using?

I’m putting the .jar in Eclipse’s plugins directory, but nothing happens. I’m under x86 WinXP SP2. Note that all the other plugins that I have installed successfully I had to do so through online installers, because manual install didn’t work with any.
Thanks.

What platform/OS are you using? What happens when you following my instructions regarding putting the .jar file in your plugins directory? I’m using 3.4 with no issues.

Hi, I’m on Eclipse 3.4 and manual installations doesn’t work :(
Is there any other way to make this plug-in work?
Thanks.

It’s old school – unzip and copy the .jar file into the /plugins directory.

Note if you are running the final 7.0 version of MyEclipse this won’t work – they are working on a fix for manual installation that will be available in 7.1. For vanilla Eclipse installs however it should work fine. I think it does require 3.4.

How do you install this plugin. I tried adding it as an archive site but I get an error saying no repository found

Dutch – Ctrl+M simply maximizes the current window – the toolbars, etc are still visible.

With the ‘fullscreen’ mode it’s one extra key – and everything goes away. Very handy.
