------------------------------------------
Once you extract u will have to copy folder itself in to the plugins folder of
eclipse. For eclipse to identify a plugin the relevant contents (classes,
manifest, plugin.xml etc) should be inside a jar file or it should be inside a
folder in the plugins folder. Hope this was the problem. (When I get something
bizarre like this I normally try a new clean workspace or a clean eclipse as
the last resort)
Eclipse plugins jars/folders expect a certain format in their name.
<plugin_id>_<version>. The qualifier part (eg: v200706111329) is not necessary
to be present. It is there for the purpose of managing bundles (in this case
plugins) having the same version with different build dates. This is
particularly helpful for the developers to work with the latest snapshots of
the plugins and etc.
As I know "Help>Software Updates>find and install" shows plugins if they are
installed through it only. There is a concept of features in eclipse where a
feature can be a plugin or a collection of plugins. through "Help>Software
Updates>find and install" you can install only these features. And for a
feature there needs to be a feature jar which explains what are the plugins
present and their dependancies, licence agreement etc in its feature. The above
axis2 plugins are not packed as features. Therefore they cannot be installed
through "Help>Software Updates>find and install", nor they will be shown in
that dialog even if we install the plugins by just copying the plugins to the
plugins folder.
I'm quite not sure the reason why you've opened a jira for this. Your problem
looks more like an issue to be discussed through the axis2-user mailing list
u(nless you find that there is something that needs fixing or missing). If you
find the information useful close this issue after confirming that it works
accordingly.

> I extracted the downloaded zip files into the plugins folder, but it's not
> being picked up by eclipse.
> These plugins dont seem to have the folder naming structure as the other
> plugins either. (just "Axis2_Codegen_Wizard_1.3.0" as opposed to
> "javax.xml.rpc_1.1.0.v200706111329" for example) Even goin to Help>Software
> Updates>find and install didnt work for either new
> local site or new archived site. Not sure how to proceed. Please help.
