Thanks for your reply,

I will attach your reply to the internal ticket to get it fixed.

I recommend you to use the 18.1 version, please let me know if you cannot move to Quartus 18.1

I am having the same issue as the OP.

So does this mean the correct plugin files all come installed? I don't see a eclipse_nios2_plugins.zip file anywhere in the download.

Anyone know? @GHelb, @WGall3

Also, looks like these instructions have been wrong for a year and a half now. Please fix them.

  The eclipse bundle is not part of the download - it's part of the install.
  
  Version 18.1 comes with a version of eclipse with the NIOS tools pre-installed.
  
  Version 19.1 does not include eclipse - you down load it directly.
  
  After you install 19.1 the NIOS plugins archive (zip, tgz - whatever is appropriate) can be found in the <install>/nios2eds/bin folder.
