In situations where you need to be able to install Vaadin Eclipse Plug-ins w/o access to the main update-site ("offline"), you can create a mirror containing all the dependencies needed to install Vaadin Plug-in for Eclipse and Vaadin Designer.

Create mirror

First clone this project, then run

mvn package

Install

target/vaadin-update-site now contains the update-site. You can serve this from your own server, or use it as a local update-site.

In Eclipse

1. Help -> Install New Software
2. Click "Add..."
3. http://your.server.ip/path/to/vaadin-update-site OR press "Local..." if you have the site locally on your computer
4. Check the "Vaadin" category (or both plug-ins individually)
5. Uncheck "Contact all update sites [...]"
6. Click "Finish" and restart Eclipse when prompted
