Keep Eclipse UI updated with MMOUI Minion/LotROnion!


What's MMOUI Minion?
It's a simple, easy to use client that lets you manage your addons, update them all with a single click (or update them automatically when new versions come out), and does it all with the full permission of the authors and the sites involved - without gimping your features or your download speeds.

So, how to make this work?
First, you must have Eclipse UI installed, of course.
Then you have to download and install a java-based app (Minion) plus its module (LotROnion).
That's pretty much all. Follow the steps below.



INSTRUCTIONS

• Step 1 •

Make sure you have the latest Java installed on your computer.
› http://www.java.com/getjava/

• Step 2 •

Download the latest MMOUI Minion.
› http://minion.mmoui.com/

Install it.
› Installation help

Note: The wowinterface.com plugin no longer required to have installed with the Minion.

• Step 3 •

Download the latest LotROnion plugin.
› http://www.lotrointerface.com/downloads/info668

Unzip the .jar file.

• Step 4 •

Start the Minion and from the top-menu open 'Tools' > 'Module Center' > press 'Update Core' button to update the client > press 'Install Module...' button to browse for the unzipped LotROnion jar file.

• Step 5 •

The Minion now can detect LOTRO addons, including Eclipse UI in the interface list. It shows the latest version available, ready to be updated if needed.



NOTES

• Note 1 •

First time using the Minion it asks you for the location of the addons.
Select your LOTRO user documents folder (for Windows7 it's C:\Users\<username>\Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\)

• Note 2 •

Addons in the Minion's interface list are visible only if the plugin/skin authors have the required support file included in their addons.

• Note 3 •

You can let your addons auto-update without confirmation. Turn this feature on at 'Tools > Options > Global Configurator'.
