Fedora 17 Eclipse Juno Update

Summary

Update Fedora's Eclipse stack to Juno releases.

Owner

Current status

Targeted release: Fedora 17
Last updated: 2012-05-01
Percentage of completion: 100%

Detailed Description

Many Eclipse projects release annually in June. The 2012 version of this simultaneous release is known as "Juno" and is made up of 67 projects. 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 Juno 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).

Upstream has asked that we clearly communicate that we will be shipping a pre-release in Fedora (due to timing) and will be updating to their final version as soon as it is released.

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 Indigo (2011 simultaneous release name) versions. The packages (SRPM names) that will be updated include:

Todo (who's working on it):

Done:

eclipse
eclipse-jdt
eclipse-pde
eclipse-cdt
eclipse-platform
eclipse-rcp
eclipse-swt
eclipse-testframework
eclipse-mylyn-context

eclipse-linuxprofilingframework
eclipse-gcov
eclipse-gprof
eclipse-callgraph
eclipse-valgrind
eclipse-oprofile
eclipse-dtp
eclipse-systemtapgui
eclipse-birt
eclipse-dltk
eclipse-shelled

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 4.2 somewhere as the version
Functionality of plugins should be verified but this is plugin-specific
eclipse-* should upgrade cleanly from their Indigo versions

User Experience

Expected to remain largely the same.

Dependencies

Eclipse Juno will be dependent on felix-gogo*. Jetty will be upgraded to version 8. These dependencies are completed and available in rawhide and f17 branch. There are few packages that depend on the Eclipse stack outside of eclipse-*.

Contingency Plan

Ship beta/rc with patches
