| | [https://www.eclipse.org/ide '''Eclipse'''] is an open-source (under the Eclipse Public License, or EPL) powerful [[Integrated development environment|IDE]] with tooling for various languages. It has a GTK+ user interface and is written in Java. As it is written in Java it is cross-platform and capable of running on Linux, MacOS and Windows. It is maintained and used by a large community of volunteers and companies. |

|
| == What is Eclipse? == | | == Installation == |
| [http://www.eclipse.org Eclipse] is an awesome IDE with tooling for various languages. It has a GTK+ UI that is much more accesible to regular programmers from a Windows environment than the tools traditionally used by FOSS hackers. | | === Eclipse === |
| | [https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/ Eclipse Packages] offers their own installers and tarballs for different editions. |
|
| |
|
| It was originally a (very) large body of code that IBM open-sourced. There is now a large community of companies and developers using and extending Eclipse.
| | === Flathub === |
| | The Java IDE can also be installed as a Flatpak package from [https://flathub.org/apps/org.eclipse.Java Flathub]: |
|
| |
|
| It has its own Open Source license (the Eclipse Public Library, or EPL).
| | <pre> |
| | flatpak install org.eclipse.Java |
| | </pre> |
|
| |
|
| It is shipped in Fedora (>= 4). Plug-ins are continuously being added to Fedora. We aim to take care of Eclipse plugin review requests quickly. Packaging guidelines for Eclipse plugins can be found here: [[Packaging/EclipsePlugins]].
| | You may also install it using Gnome Software or KDE Discover; look for ''Eclipse IDE for Java Developers''. |
|

| | See [https://github.com/flathub/org.eclipse.Java Eclipse on Flathub] for bug reports and pull requests on the Flatpak manifest. |

|
| Fedora Eclipse is a community project encompassing everything Eclipse-related in Fedora. We ship the Eclipse SDK along with many plugins (see below). We are working on making plugin packaging easier (see [http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/projectPages/rpmstubby RPM Stubby].

Community around the [http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/ Eclipse Linux Tools] project is emerging now and developers are hanging out on #eclipse-linux on Freenode.

| == Testing ==
| |
| | |
| It has [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-java-list/2005-July/msg00088.html automated tests] . You can also run [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-java-list/2005-April/msg00010.html individual plug-in tests] .
| |
| | |
| Running the Eclipse SDK automated tests against the installed RPMs can be done using the following steps:
| |
| | |
| # <tt>$ svn co http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/technology/org.eclipse.linuxtools/sdktests/3.4.1/Fedora eclipse-sdk-tests</tt>
| |
| # <tt>$ cd eclipse-sdk-tests</tt>
| |
| # <tt>$ ./build.sh</tt>
| |
| # (... wait for build)
| |
| # <tt># rpm -Uvh RPMS/{x86_64,i386,etc.}/eclipse-tests-3.4*.rpm</tt>
| |
| # <tt>$ cd <somewhere you can write></tt>
| |
| # <tt>$ /usr/lib (or lib64) /eclipse/dropins/eclipse/runtests</tt>
| |
| # (... wait for tests to run)</tt>
| |
| # <tt>$ ls /tmp/eclipseSDKtests/results/html</tt>
| |
| # View results in browser: file:///tmp/eclipseSDKtests/results/html
| |
| | |
| We appreciate any and all reports of success or failure with the SDK tests. The fedora-devel-java-list mailing list is a fine place to send them.
| |
| | |
| == Plans ==
| |
| We plan to ship the Eclipse SDK (<tt>eclipse</tt> SRPM) version [http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/plans/freeze_plan_3_5_1.php 3.5.1] in Fedora 12. Other [http://www.eclipse.org/galileo/ Galileo] release train projects should be updated to their Galileo releases when they are available. We will need to update other Galileo release train components to their Galileo SR1 releases shortly after getting 3.5.1 of the Eclipse SDK built.
| |
| | |
| All components are now updated to their Galileo (not Galileo SR1) versions. This includes the SDK, the CDT, Mylyn, EMF, GEF, DTP, BIRT, the Linux Tools stuff (valgrind, autotools, etc.).
| |
| | |
| The other plugins we ship '''should''' work with Eclipse 3.5 without problems. We will of course have to coordinate testing them all.
| |
| | |
| === Fedora Eclipse Branding ===
| |
| | |
| Up to and including Fedora 11, we shipped a branding plugin with a custom splash screen and product ID. From Fedora 12 onwards, we will no longer be doing this.
| |
| | |
| ==== Updating the branding for a new version ====
| |
| | |
| ''This section is no longer important but is kept for historical purposes.'' The splash screen itself was originally done by Diana Fong and given to us as a PSD file. It is kept with the rest of the branding plugin in CVS:
| |
| | |
| <tt>:pserver:anonymous@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/eclipse</tt>
| |
| | |
| <tt>branding/org.fedoraproject.ide.platform</tt>
| |
| | |
| People wishing to commit will have to have a Sourceware account. We should probably move this to Fedora Hosted. In the meantime, use this form to request an account (project: eclipse, sponsor: Andrew Overholt):
| |
| | |
| http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/pdw/ps_form.cgi
| |
| | |
| When updating the branding to a new version, you will need to:
| |
| | |
| * update the product file <tt>fedoraeclipse.product</tt> to include the build ID matching upstream's release build (ex. <tt>http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.2-200902111700</tt> gives a build ID of 20090211-1700)
| |
| * be sure to hit the synchronize link on the "Overview" page of the product editor to sync up the various generated files
| |
| * make a new <tt>splash.bmp</tt> (yes, it is an actual BMP):
| |
| ** open the <tt>.psd</tt> file in the Gimp
| |
| ** adjust the visible layers of the numbering in the Gimp to have the correct version shown
| |
| *** for versions that are not present in the PSD, you will need to use the Gimp to draw a number that looks very close to the font originally used
| |
| ** export the visible layers you want to <tt>splash.bmp</tt>; do '''not''' include the Fedora logo layer in the resulting <tt>splash.bmp</tt>
| |
| ** refresh the <tt>splash.bmp</tt> file in your workspace and open it to ensure it is what you want
| |
| * commit your changes. Comparing two previous tags (ex. <tt>fedoraeclipse-3_4_1</tt> vs. <tt>fedoraeclipse-3_4_2</tt>) is a helpful indicator to guarantee you've made all of the necessary changes.
| |
| ** do '''not''' include the PSD file in build.properties; it should not be shipped in the SRPM/RPM
| |
| * branch and tag for the new version; follow previous tags and branch names to be consistent
| |
| * update <tt>eclipse.spec</tt> to reflect the new locations and generate a new <tt>org.fedoraproject.ide.platform-%{version}.zip</tt>
