2. Download the pig-eclipse source code to your computer.
3. Go to File -> Import, and then choose the General -> Existing projects into workspace option from the Eclipse import menu.

1. Choose File -> Export
2. Expand Plug-in Development, and choose Deployable features
3. Mark the checkbox in "Available Features"
4. Choose a directory to put your binaries. You can clone the pig-eclipse-update-site if you want to compare to my binaries)
5. Choose the "Options" tab, and check "Categorize repository". Click Browse and search for a file called category.xml (it's part of the Pig-Eclipse source code_
6. Mark "Qualifier replacement" - otherwise unless you change the version, Eclipse will not update to the created binary.
