Have you tried to follow https://erlide.org/articles/eclipse/120_Installing-and-updating.html ? Where does it fail, and what errors do you get?

The problem is that Erlide's server has been turned off. So it won't be possible to install it

Are you using https://erlide.org/update as described in the docs?

Eclipse downloads the file https://erlide.org/update/p2.index when installing and it seems downloadable.

A clean installation using Eclipse 2024-09 (4.33.0) worked here when testing now.

Yes, I used the link "https://erlide.org/update" but when eclipse downloads part of it, it will say it cannot connect to the server, and will not be able to continue.

Ah, ok. My eclipse installation (via snap) provides org.apache.commons.jxpath_1.3.0.jar which is why it works here..

I managed to reproduce your problem on a Windows installation using Eclipse 2024-09 (4.33). They seem to have changed the latest Eclipse a bit compared to previous versions, and it seem to use JEE.

If you can use the previous released Eclipse version instead, i.e. 2024-06 (4.32) then you could try-out the prerelease of Erlide 0.62.0, which contains a fix to be able to run it on newer Eclipse.

Install it according to the docs, but use the URL https://erlide.org/update/prerelease instead, and only install erlide - Erlang development tools.
