There are three contributed ways to install VE:
 
  
  
== ehecht.com ==
+
=VE 1.5=
  
* See http://www.ehecht.com/eclipse_ve/ve.html
+
* See [[VE/Update|Installing VE from Update Site]].
  
 +
=VE 1.4=
  
== Chris Dolan (on behalf of Avid Technology Inc.) ==
+
* See [[VE/Update|Installing VE from Update Site]].
  
I got it to work once I figured out the JEM stuff.  In the end, these are the steps that worked for me.
+
=VE 1.3=
  
Note: These are likely not the minimal steps, just one working solution.
+
==Download Eclipse for Java EE Developers==
  
=== Uninstall old VE ===
+
* Download and install [http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ Eclipse 3.4 Ganymede]. The "Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers" bundle contains all plugins needed.
#Fully uninstall any old version of VE or JEM (not just disable)
+
  
=== Install WTP Prereqs ===
+
* VE 1.3 requires [[EMF/EMF_2.3/JVM_Requirements|EMF 2.4]], which requires [[IRC_FAQ#I_just_installed_Eclipse_on_Linux.2C_but_it_does_not_start._What_is_the_problem.3F|JDK 5.0]] or later.
#Via the Europa update site, install prerequisites for WTP:
+
#*org.eclipse.datatools
+
#*org.eclipse.wst
+
#*org.eclipse.jst
+
#*org.eclipse.jpt
+
  
=== Install the 3.0M1 milestone release of WTP SDK, which is the authoritative source of JEM 2.0.0 ===
+
<blockquote><table style="border: 1px blue dashed; padding:10px"><tr><td>[[Image:Ve-for-ganymede-install-list.png|right|thumb]] Alternatively, you can use a smaller Ganymede bundle or the "Classic" [http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4-200806172000/ Eclipse 3.4 SDK], then using the [http://download.eclipse.org/releases/ganymede// Ganymede update site], install the following features:
##Go to http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/
+
:: EMF Ecore Mapping 2.4
##Click the 3.0M1 build
+
:: Graphical Editing Framework GEF 3.4
##Download the wtp-sdk zip
+
:: JST Web Core 3.0
##Unpack the .zip file somewhere
+
:: JST Web UI 3.0
##In that extracted folder, there is an "eclipse" subdir
+
:: WST Common Core 3.0
##In that subdir, create a file called ".eclipseextension"
+
</td></tr></table></blockquote>
##In eclipse, go to Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration
+
##Click "Add an Extension Location"
+
##Select the WTP "eclipse" subdir from above
+
  
=== Install VE From SourceForge ===
+
==Download VE==
##Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=131065&package_id=154855
+
##Click "Visual Editor patched as in bug 202562"
+
##Click org.eclipse.visualeditor-1.3.0.200709121813.zip
+
##Unpack the .zip file somewhere
+
##In that extracted folder, there is an " org.eclipse.visualeditor-1.3.0.200709121813" subdir
+
##Rename that subdir to "eclipse"
+
##In that "eclipse" subdir, create a file called ".eclipseextension"
+
##In eclipse, go to Help > Software Updates > Manage Configuration
+
##Click "Add an Extension Location"
+
##Select the VE "eclipse" subdir from above
+
  
===Restart Eclipse===
+
* Download the latest VE build from [http://www.ehecht.com/eclipse_ve/ve.html ehecht.com] and unzip into the eclipse/ folder (Eclipse 3.3) or into the new [[Equinox_p2_Getting_Started#Dropins|dropins/]] folder (Eclipse 3.4).
#*If that fails, try restarting Eclipse with the [[Graphical Eclipse FAQs#I have just installed a plug-in but I do not see any indication of it in my workspace. What do I do.3F|-clean argument]].
+
  
 +
== See Also ==
  
== Daniel Young ==
+
* [[VE/Installing/Archived|Other installation methods]] have been archived.
 
+
===Setup / Downloads===
+
 
+
Instead of installing the prerequisites for wtp or wtp itself
+
* Download the 3.0M1 milestone release of WTP (the runtime is sufficient) Inside the archive under eclipse / plugins locate and extract all the org.eclipse.jem* files to your plugin folder (in your main ,extension or link folder)
+
* Go to your features folder and create a folder for each file extracted (name them the same as the plugin files)
+
* Inside each folder create a feature.properties and feature.xml file with the following contents:
+
 
+
* All feature.properties should look like this:
+
featureName=Java EMF Model
+
providerName=Eclipse.org
+
updateSiteName=Visual Editor update site
+
 
+
* featureName should be changed in each file e.g. featurename=Java EMF Model - BeanInfo
+
 
+
===Revise feature.xml files===
+
 
+
*Paste the following into the relevant feature.xml file
