Installation

Requirements

  • Eclipse IDE 2024-06 or newer, any package (the plugin needs only the Eclipse Platform).
  • Java 17 or newer to run Eclipse (every Eclipse release from 2024-06 on already requires it).

Install from the update site

  1. In Eclipse, open Help > Install New Software…​.
  2. In Work with, enter https://dbunit.github.io/dbunit-eclipse-plugin/updates/ and press Enter.
  3. Select dbUnit Dataset Editor in the dbUnit category, then Next.
  4. Review the items to install, then Next.
  5. Accept the license (GNU LGPL 2.1), then Finish.
  6. When Eclipse asks whether to trust the signed content, check the dbUnit PGP key, then Trust Selected.
  7. Restart Eclipse when prompted.

The update site is self-contained: the feature includes the Eclipse Nebula NatTable grid widget and Eclipse Collections, so no other update site is needed. They install alongside any other versions of them already present.

Offline installation

Every release attaches its update site as a zip file, dbunit-eclipse-plugin-VERSION-p2-repository.zip, to its GitHub Release. Download it, then in Help > Install New Software…​ choose Add…​ > Archive…​ and select the zip.

Nightly builds

The latest build of the main branch that passed all tests is at https://dbunit.github.io/dbunit-eclipse-plugin/updates/nightly/. Nightly builds are for testing unreleased fixes; they are not signed.

Updating and uninstalling

  • Update: Help > Check for Updates.
  • Uninstall: Help > About Eclipse IDE > Installation Details, select dbUnit Dataset Editor, Uninstall…​.
