Fedora 14 Eclipse Helios Update

Summary

Update Fedora's Eclipse stack to Helios releases.

Name: Alex Kurtakov, Andrew Overholt
Email: akurtako at redhat, overholt at redhat

Current status

Targeted release: Fedora 14
Last updated: 2010-08-04
Percentage of completion: 100%

Detailed Description

Many Eclipse projects release annually in June. The 2010 version of this simultaneous release is known as "Helios" and is made up of 39 projects and 33 million lines of code. The foundation of these projects is the Eclipse project itself, producing the Eclipse SDK which contains the Eclipse Platform, the Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT), and the Eclipse Plugin Development Environment (PDE).

This Fedora feature encompasses the updating of the Eclipse packages in Fedora to be their Helios versions. Note that not all eclipse-* packages in Fedora are hosted at eclipse.org which coordinates the simultaneous release so this feature does not include them (notable examples include PyDev which is shipped in Fedora as eclipse-pydev).

Benefit to Fedora

The latest and greatest versions of Eclipse packages will be available to Fedora users.

Scope

Update dependencies (see below), many eclipse-* packages, and test upgrade experience from existing Galileo (2009 simultaneous release name) versions. The packages (SRPM names) that will be updated include:

Done:

eclipse DONE
eclipse-jdt DONE
eclipse-pde DONE
eclipse-platform DONE
eclipse-rcp DONE
eclipse-swt DONE
eclipse-gef DONE
eclipse-rse DONE
eclipse-egit DONE
eclipse-jgit DONE
eclipse-subclipse DONE
eclipse-pydev DONE
eclipse-cdt DONE
eclipse-linuxprofilingframework DONE
eclipse-mylyn DONE
eclipse-valgrind DONE
eclipse-testframework DONE
eclipse-oprofile DONE
eclipse-changelog DONE
eclipse-callgraph DONE
eclipse-dltk DONE
eclipse-rpmstubby DONE
eclipse-dtp DONE
eclipse-shelled DONE
eclipse-rpm-editor DONE
eclipse-systemtapgui DONE
eclipse-birt DONE
eclipse-emf DONE
eclipse-ptp DONE

How To Test

x86 or x86_64 hardware is preferred for testing as the OpenJDK JIT (just in time compiler) is present there
Installing the packages listed above in the "Scope" section should be installed
Eclipse should start from the GNOME menu under Programming or from the command line
The Eclipse Help system should display and allow clicking around the contents (Help menu -> Help Contents)
Help -> About should show 3.6 somewhere as the version
Functionality of plugins should be verified but this is plugin-specific
eclipse-* should upgrade cleanly from their Galileo versions

User Experience

Expected to remain largely the same.

Dependencies

Notable Eclipse SDK dependencies include:

icu4j DONE
sat4j DONE
jetty (jetty requires a new version of maven to build) DONE

These dependencies are almost complete but updates are not yet in rawhide. There are few packages that depend on the Eclipse stack outside of eclipse-*.

Contingency Plan

Non-completion will result in the F13 versions from the Galileo release being used in F14.
