I have installed Eclipse Luna(4.4) on my system using the binary file and it is having the MPC plugin which is downloaded from the site :

http://download.eclipse.org/mpc/luna/

Still i am unable to find the Market Place in the Help tab, but in the

About Eclipse >> Installation Details >> Installed Software' , 'Marketplace Client' is visible.

Please help me how to Launch it.

Edit- Attaching the screenshot from Eclipse which shows the MarketPlace is installed, still it is not showing in Help Menu

Go to Help/Install new software from the menu, select the Juno update site (http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno 'try this repository'), and look for the Marketplace client it is in the General Purpose Tools category

    Thanks a lot Tiko, it worked. It looks like the marketplace available at Luna site has some bugs due to which it is not visible in Help menu. – tusharagrawa Jul 21 '14 at 06:05
  • Yeah probably that's the case. Anyway happy to be helpful – Tiko Jul 21 '14 at 06:56
  • Marketplace in Luna is not working properly when you search: you get an "unexpected exception" (Class not found). – Timo Dec 03 '14 at 12:41
  • It's good that this works but I clicked on Marketplace from Eclipse.org and ... http://marketplace.eclipse.org didn't load. I expect there's some on-going bother. – will Feb 01 '15 at 03:04

Either drag-and-drop the install URL from the Marketplace website to your Eclipse instance (the main toolbar is a good drop target), or open Help/Eclipse Marketplace... to start it. See also the Marketplace documentation.

  • As mentioned in my previous comment, it is showing that MPC is already showing in Plugings tab – tusharagrawa Jul 16 '14 at 10:40
  • I did not mean the plugins tab. I said, select the Eclipse Marketplace... menu item from the Help menu. – Zoltán Ujhelyi Jul 16 '14 at 15:09
  • I have attached the screenshot in the Question, for your reference. – tusharagrawa Jul 17 '14 at 06:55
  • Hmm, strange. I have the same component installed and its menu contribution is visible as well. I have only two ideas to check: (1) is anything visible in the Eclipse logs (open the Error Log view if not visible) and (2) maybe an uninstall-reinstall cycle would help. – Zoltán Ujhelyi Jul 17 '14 at 11:46

->open (your eclipse luna folder)-->configuration-->config ->open the config file with wordpad and add the below lines at the end.

org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.excludeContributors=org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient4

->save the config file ->Now restart the eclipse luna and try to access the market place.

Did you try update your Eclipse installation?

I had the same problem and I solved it selecting all updates from:

Help -> Check for Updates

I hope this helps.
