Overview
--------

The [GNU ARM Eclipse project](https://github.com/gnuarmeclipse) includes 
a set of open source Eclipse plug-ins and tools to 
create/build/debug/manage **ARM** (32-bits) and **AArch64** (64-bits) 
applications and static/shared libraries, using the latest **GNU ARM 
GCC** toolchains. 

Eclipse Marketplace
-------------------

Aiming to further improve the user experience while installing/updating 
the plug-ins, the **GNU ARM Eclipse** project was registered to [Eclipse 
Marketplace](https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/gnu-arm-eclipse):

Benefits
--------

The main advantage of using the Eclipse Marketplace is a **simplified 
install procedure**, no longer requiring to manually enter the update 
site address.

The Install button
------------------

The Eclipse Marketplace not only provides a centralised index to locate 
projects, it goes one step further and provides a drag-and-drop browser 
button.

As seen above, the button can be included in any web page.

To use it, just **drag-and-drop the button to a running Eclipse**, and 
the plug-ins to install/update will be automatically identified:

If, for any reason, this does not work, it is always possible to search 
the Eclipse Marketplace manually from within Eclipse menus:
