More than one Eclipse Installation in ubuntu 13.10 [message #1220221] Tue, 10 December 2013 08:14 Go to next message

Hi all
Till now , it has not been clarified if one can have more than two eclipse projects on the same ubuntu machine.

In windows clicking on Eclipse executing file will run individually(in different workspace) and simultaneously(in the same time) different versions.

How can I proceed this in ubuntu.
I have kepler and I want to apply some changes to Indiao project is it possible?

Ubuntu works no differently then Windows. You can install each Eclipse version in a different location and then run them as you wish. Note that install here means download the zip file from the eclipse.org web site and unzip it to the location you want. Don't try to do this using the Ubuntu package management system.

Whenever I write cd path/to/eclipse/Installation then write "eclipse &" it always run the Kepler installation. I have another Indiago extracted to /opt/EclipseIndiago but never started by its own.

Before that I have followed some steps to create launch icon for Eclipse Kepler and created a .desktop file could that make it the default eclipse path?

I mean what is the problem by having the eclipse command refers to a single executable path and how to check that is not true

Please I am stuck here

I keep at least two and sometimes more panel icons (launchers) on Ubuntu
(and back in my SuSE days) for Eclipse, sometimes the same version, more
often for different versions. Right now, on my latest Linux Mint
(Cinnamon) top panel (à la Gnome), I have Keppler and Indigo.

/home/russ/dev/keppler/eclipse
/home/russ/dev/indigo/eclipse
etc.

Editing these launchers, however, I have different command paths as
noted above. When the paths are the same, I specify different workspaces
(because you can't launch Eclipse twice on the same workspace).

But, I could launch them from the command line. It's just that,
obviously, when you type

$ eclipse &

assuming it's on PATH, you're going to get exactly one and always the
same instance of Eclipse launched, right? This has nothing to do with
Eclipse and everything to do with just how stuff works, even under Windows.

I see you speak of the .desktop file. This reminds me that you're
probably dealing with Ubuntu Unity (what I fled to Mint to solve). While
I still labored under the abuse of Ubuntu Unity, I made these notes at
different times, which may or may not be helpful to you. Remember, you
can't have several eclipse.desktop files with the same name.

I hope some of this helps. Best of luck.

Cheers,

Russ

thank you Russell Bateman

You are right, I tried some thing else which was not clear, I replace the eclipse command with ./eclipse which instantiate an eclipse executable file of a desired path.


Another not less important question is that I want o practice PTP for parallel application but after installing necessary plugins and feature I cant find the "Parallel run time perspective" which I found on tutorials I follow.
I cant find any other alternate "PTP perspective"

How could I get it

Thanks again

Yes, we answered it. It just didn't click for you. I suggest you do
another post and ask in greater detail what it is that doesn't work for you.
