Add-ons: Fails to install PL/Formatter plug-in

[George Wei]

Hi! All,

I've installed SQL Navigator 4.4 (Licensed) & TOAD 8 (Trial), PL/SQL Formatter is licensed as a component of SQL Navigator.
When I try to install PL/Formatter plug-in, it always fails. What's the problem? BTW, I can not find this plug in on the add-on page, does Allround Automations not support it any longer?
Thanks.

Regards,
George

How exactly does it fail?

The PL/Formatter Plug-In was removed, because Quest told us that they would remove the integration feature for 3rd party tools. This was a long time ago though, and the integration is still there, so we are considering to add it to the "Add-ons" page again.

Today, I installed it successfully, but I fail to configure it.
On PL/SQL Developer's Plug-in Manager, I select PL/Formatter Interface, then click the About button, it pops up this message:

Could not locate PL/Formatter!
PL/Formatter is distributed exclusively by
Quest (www.quest.com/formatter_plus)

Regards,
George

I have the same problems with the PL/SQL-Developer 6.03.

Hokrie,

If you read Marco's reply to this above, you'll see this plug-in doesn't work anymore because Quest Software purposely disabled the API. He also pointed this out in another question on the same topic from long ago.

It's broke, can't be fixed, might as well remove it from your Plugins directory.

Instead, define FormatterPlus as a Tool. It works just fine.

Tools->Configure Tools

Good luck
