Can anyone get the new marketplace drag n' drop to work with Eclipse Indigo?

I am on a new mac and cannot get eclipse to install marketplace plugins by dragging n' dropping them onto eclipse. I have tried using both Safari and Firefox, but neither of them work.

Is there a certain place/section they have to be dropped to, or is there an alternative way to install the plugins?

Without the emacs+ plugin I am useless.

Thanks.

The drag and drop option does not work for IE. I would suggest using Chrome. I experienced the same issue a few times. from other browsers.

It's so simple. Click Help, Install From Catalog (it will create marketplace window). Now you have lots of plugins to install.

I'm also using Eclipse Juno on a Mac and could not get the drag and drop to work. What worked for me was (in Eclipse) Help menu, Install new software.... then I selected the Juno - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno option from the list box and was able to find the plugin I was looking for.

For me on Windows, I can get drag-n-drop to work if I drop on the menu/toolbar area or some views. It doesn't work for drops on the editor area or some of the views that define their own drag-n-drop behaviors.

Try Help -> Eclipse Marketplace if you cannot get drag-n-drop to work. Search and install from that dialog.
