Eclipse is an open-source (under the Eclipse Public License, or EPL) powerful 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.
Installation
Eclipse
Eclipse Packages offers their own installers and tarballs for different editions.
Flathub
The Java IDE can also be installed as a Flatpak package from Flathub:
flatpak install org.eclipse.Java
You may also install it using Gnome Software or KDE Discover; look for Eclipse IDE for Java Developers.
Troubleshooting
See Eclipse on Flathub for bug reports and pull requests on the Flatpak manifest.
No Splashscreen Image
As the splash is stored as legacy BMP try
yum install gdk-pixbuf2-modules-extra
to fix it.
