I'm needing to install the eclipse JDT.Core plugin locally (eg download the file with site.xml etc), as opposed to installing it remotely due to the horrible firewall at work. Can anyone suggest where to download it so i can do the local install? Thanks

I assume you are using Aptana, well like VonC said I don't know if there is a JDT core download site link but I personally did something else that worked for me.

on eclipse or aptana

  1. Go to "Help", then go to "Install New Software", and the install dialog pops up.
  2. Click on the "Available Software Sites" link on the install dialog.
  3. Check on or copy "Eclipse Helios Update Site http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios Enabled" or just skip step 2 and copy and paste this link "http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios"
  4. Add it and it gives your a list of softwares, go to "Programming Languages" and choose "Eclipse Java Development Tool"

Hope it works for you
