I was trying to install the eclipse plug-in for an assignment. But the problem is, my installed eclipse's version is mars, which means I can not find the location of the 'plugins' directory, which was used to save plug-in jar files.

I've updated the eclipse Luna to Mars recently. When I installed(unzipped) the eclipse luna, I remember that there was 'plugins' directory and other things (including eclipse.app) were in the 'eclipse' directory. However, The mars, archive file just gives me an eclipse.app!..

Could you tell me how to add the plugin(*.jar, in my case, UMLet) to eclipse mars on Mac OSX? I have to do my assignment.. The due is coming..

In my case (Mars on Mac version Darwin 14.5.0, installed with Eclipse installer) I found the plugins folder in MY_HOME_DIRECTORY/.p2/pool/plugins . I found this path with this: Eclipse -> About Eclipse -> Installation Details -> Configuration -> property --launcher.library
