I was trying to install the PyDev plugin for Eclipse on OS X and I realized I cannot access the “Find and Install” option. When I go to Help > Software Update both the “Find and Install” and “Manage Configuration” are grayed out.
Since I am running Eclipse 3.6.0 I thought an upgrade to 3.7 might fix it, but I would need to access that menu in order to upgrade wouldn’t I?
Does anyone know of a fix?
Eclipse 3.6.0
OS X 10.7.3
Update: Issue resolved by a fresh upgrade to Eclipse 3.7
Not sure why it’s disabled in your case, but anyways, when upgrading to a newer version of Eclipse, don’t use the update menu, always grab a new version from Eclipse.org and reinstall the plugins you use (i.e.: to get Eclipse 3.7) — note: just point to the same workspace you had previously after you update all the plugins you use (point to a different workspace while you’re updating the plugins so that you don’t mess with your current workspace because features are not available until you install all plugins).
As for updating PyDev, usually go to the ‘Install new software’, add the PyDev update site (see links at: http://pydev.org/download.html) and go from there — if it’s grayed out, grab a new Eclipse and go from there 🙂
