Following is the directory structure of plugin I want to install in eclipse.

Eclipse version: photon.

Organization I work at has restricted access to http sites. Only https is accessible. So I cannot install plugins from eclipse marketplace. I have a zip of Subversive SVN connector and this is the only way it can be done I think.

I was able to install Subversive using install software but unable to do so with Suversive connector.

Is it possible to install Subversive connector using dropins directory of eclipse?

    It depends. If it is a ZIP of the update site (does the `features` subfolder contain JARs and not subfolders?; and does the root folder contain a `content.jar` or `content.xml` file?), you have to use _Help > Install New Software..._ instead. – howlger Oct 26 '18 at 11:18
  • Yes. features subfolder contains JARs and root folder contains content.jar. Also I am unable to install it through Help > Install New Software. Though I was able to install Subversive in this way but it is not working for the connector. – Hrushikesh Salunkhe Oct 26 '18 at 11:48

    Why you are unable to install it? Please note, your screenshot shows pretty old connectors (from 2013). There are also two very similar SVN plug-ins for Eclipse: Subversive and Subclipse (I guess, both with their own connectors) which should not be mixed. If HTTPS works, does the update site `https://ssl-proxy.my-addr.org/myaddrproxy.php/http/community.polarion.com/projects/subversive/download/eclipse/6.0/update-site/` (via [this HTTP to HTTPS proxy](https://ssl-proxy.my-addr.com/)) work? – howlger Oct 26 '18 at 13:24
  • Yes. It works. Thanks – Hrushikesh Salunkhe Oct 29 '18 at 04:19

Solved.

Found this site for SVN connector and installed it from there.
