| | [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] and [http://fedorahosted.org/eclipse-fedorapackager Fedora Packager for Eclipse]).
| | === No Splashscreen Image === |
| | | As the splash is stored as legacy BMP try |
| Would you like to help?
| | <pre>yum install gdk-pixbuf2-modules-extra</pre> |

| Talk to us on IRC or the [https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/java-devel/ java-devel mailing list]. Package a plug-in for Fedora!

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 ship the Eclipse SDK (<tt>eclipse</tt> SRPM) version 3.6.1 in Fedora 14. Other [http://www.eclipse.org/helios/ Helios] release train projects are also updated to their Helios versions.
| |
| | |
| The other plugins we ship '''should''' work with Eclipse 3.6 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>
