| | [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).
| |
| | |
| 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]].
| |
| | |
| == Fedora Eclipse == | |
| | |
| 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]).
| |
| | |
| Would you like to help?

| | |
| 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!

| Most of the Fedora "free java" people hang out on #fedora-java on [http://freenode.net Freenode] . There are also people on #classpath also on Freenode. 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.

| | |
| == Troubleshooting Eclipse in Fedora ==
| |
| | |
| The way Eclipse and its plugins are installed in Fedora differs from the way this is done upstream. This can
| |
| sometimes lead to installation problems in Fedora. We are working on a solution to make installations
| |
| more robust in future Fedora releases. In the meantime however, this section is meant to help you troubleshoot those problems.
| |
| The main theme is "I updated eclipse and my plugins no longer show up".
| |
| | |
| 1. The first thing you want to do is to make sure that you have a bundles.info file in your ~/.eclipse directory
| |
| <pre>find ~/.eclipse -name bundles.info</pre>
| |
| If you find one then you can move on to step 2. If you don't find a file that means that there is a problem occurring
| |
| early on during the startup of Eclipse. To start with you need to make sure that you have a standard Eclipse installation. To
| |
| do so run the following:
| |
|
| |
|
| <pre> | | <pre> |
| rpm -qV eclipse-rcp eclipse-platform
| | flatpak install org.eclipse.Java |
| </pre> | | </pre> |
| Make sure that there is no output when you run the above command. Next, run:
| |
| <pre>
| |
| rpm -qf /usr/lib*/eclipse/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/PlatformProfile.profile/*.profile.gz
| |
| </pre>
| |
| Make sure that there are no files which are not owned by any RPMs.
| |
|
| |
|
| If the result of the above commands is not clean that means that you don't have a clean Eclipse installation. It is possible that you may have
| | You may also install it using Gnome Software or KDE Discover; look for ''Eclipse IDE for Java Developers''. |
| run eclipse as root at some point. You can clean that up by removing all files which are not owned by any RPMs, and
| |
| removing and reinstalling the eclipse RPMs.
| |
|
| |
|
| If both of the above outputs are clean, you will need to file a bug. Collect the following information and file
| | == Troubleshooting == |
| a bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=eclipse
| | See [https://github.com/flathub/org.eclipse.Java Eclipse on Flathub] for bug reports and pull requests on the Flatpak manifest. |
|
| |
|
| Create a file ~/.options and add the following flags to it:
| | === No Splashscreen Image === |
| | As the splash is stored as legacy BMP try |
| | <pre>yum install gdk-pixbuf2-modules-extra</pre> |
| | to fix it. |
|
| |
|
| <pre>
| | == Contact == |
| org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/debug=true
| | Most of the Fedora "free java" people hang out on [ircs://irc.libera.chat#fedora-java #fedora-java] on [http://libera.chat Libera]. The [https://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/ Eclipse Linux Tools] upstream project is also responsible for packaging across distributions. |
| org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/reconciler=true
| |
| org.eclipse.equinox.p2.garbagecollector/debug=true
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| Then run eclipse from a terminal with the following flags:
| |
| <pre>eclipse -consolelog -debug -clean >& log</pre>
| |
| | |
| Attached this log to the bug you file.
| |
| | |
| 2. If you have found a bundles.info you will need to do is do a diff between your system bundles.info and user bundles.info:
| |
| <pre>diff `find /usr/lib*/eclipse -name bundles.info` `find ~/.eclipse -name bundles.info`</pre>
| |
| | |
| If there are any bundles present in the system bundles.info and not in the user bundles.info, these bundles are the source of the problem. If the bundles are installed and have the correct versions (the path to the bundles in stated relative to /usr/lib/eclipse or /usr/lib64/eclipse) then that means that things have been upgraded in a way that contradicts the previous installation. Adding those bundles to your user bundles.info will solve the problem. Before doing so backup your ~/.eclipse directory just in case. Here is a script wich will do that:
| |
| | |
| <pre>
| |
| diff `find /usr/lib*/eclipse/ -name bundles.info` `find ~/.eclipse/ -name bundles.info` | grep "<" | sed s/"< "/""/ >> `find ~/.eclipse/ -name bundles.info`
| |
| </pre>
| |
| | |
| If the extra bundles are not present or have different versions than what is in the system bundles.info, that means that the bundles.info is faulty and needs to be updated.
| |
| Please file a bug which includes the diff.
| |
| | |
| == 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.
