Please share your experience of using Kotlin in Eclipse [message #1839013] Thu, 11 March 2021 06:03 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi!

My name is Alina, and I'm from the Kotlin team at JetBrains. I run the user groups support program and handle marketing tasks.

We're conducting research to better understand the needs of Eclipse users who work with Kotlin. We'd be happy if members of this community with relevant experience could share some feedback with us. If anyone would like to participate in our short survey (5 questions), please let me know in the comments.

Thank you!

The experience is not good. The Kotlin plugin hasn't really worked for me since Eclipse 2020-06 v4.16 and even now that installation no longer functions for Kotlin coding and generally just causes the IDE to hang. Since that version, I have not been able to install the plugin without making Eclipse unusable. Even starting with a clean install of the vanilla "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" and only installing the Kotlin plugin via the Market place. In earlier versions it constantly threw AST errors. Later versions it would break the Package View of the Java Perspective with class not found exceptions.

Eclipse is now on v4.24 and the Marketplace installer for the Kotlin plugin just fails with:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found.
  Software being installed: Kotlin 1.5.31.v20211018-0606 (org.jetbrains.kotlin.feature.feature.group 1.5.31.v20211018-0606)
  Missing requirement: kotlin-eclipse-ui 1.5.31.v20211018-0606 (org.jetbrains.kotlin.ui 1.5.31.v20211018-0606) requires 'osgi.bundle; org.eclipse.mylyn.commons.ui 0.0.0' but it could not be found
  Cannot satisfy dependency:
    From: Kotlin 1.5.31.v20211018-0606 (org.jetbrains.kotlin.feature.feature.group 1.5.31.v20211018-0606)
    To: org.eclipse.equinox.p2.iu; org.jetbrains.kotlin.ui [1.5.31.v20211018-0606,1.5.31.v20211018-0606]

Installing the Mylyn feature first allows the Kotlin plugin to install but that results in the broken Java Package view that just displays this exception:
