I'm trying to figure out how to properly install Eclipse for Linux. I
seem to be doing something wrong, as I can't get the SDK to execute. Any
help/pointers appreciated.

It should be straight forward. Do you have JRE 1.3.1? Provide some info
about your system env will help.

Dear George,

As John had said, it is actually a relatively straight forward process.
You need not even need root privellege to do so.

You need to supply more information about what you did before we can help
you.


You might want to check that you have a java virtual machine? One possible
java VM is available at java.sun.com. You will need the J2SE, not J2RE
since J2RE does not supply the compiler which you will need to compile
programs. Java version 1.3.1 at least.

To test it : the terminal window, setup the PATH environment variable to
point to the java virtual machine. The test for this is to type "javac
-version" on command line and it should invoke the java compiler and
display a message about the version. If you find that you have to specify
the full path, your PATH variable is not set properly.

Hope this helps,
sinleeh

As you didn't say on which linux distro, here is the debian way.
(please wait a few days, new packages are on way, which finaly gives
working source plugins for PDE)

unstable:
# apt-get install eclipse-sdk
(will install the complete eclipse sdk like you get it from the
download page. Aditionally you can instal eclipse-webdav-ftp, which
will install the additional team provider).

Woody:
put a deb-src line to unstable in you sources.list and do a
# apt-get source -b eclipse-sdk
# dpkg -i *deb
(will install eclipse sdk and additional team providers.)

In teh end you will have a working eclipse, started via a bootstrap
script. One linked in folder in /usr/local/lib/eclipse and some
configuration thingies in $HOME/.eclipse/eclipserc (vmargs, debug,
workspace, splash)

enjoy :)

Dear Jan,

Interesting. But can I ask which debian mirror you got it from? I tried
dselect and searching for it on www.debian.org and turn out nothing.

Thanking you in advance and best regards

eclipse 2.1 is already o every sid mirror. Unfortunatelly the builds
had some errors (mostly PDE, which missed source plugins and also
some features, which didn't work with a different xerces jar).

I have written some patches, which the maintainer of the packages
accepted to integrate into the package. Unfortunatelly this new
packages are not yet uploaded (or better: they were, but there
was still a bug in the package configuration).

I can get give you the changes.gz and dsc to build the package
yourself: You would need to get the orig.tar.gz from a unstable
mirror, but the rest is a matter of
dpkg-source -x *dsc
cd eclipse-2.1
dpkg-buildpackage -uc -rfakeroot
su -c "dpkg -i ../*deb"

You can get my latest files from http://www.katzien.de/debian/
See the readme.txt about more information.

BTW, this files also include a patch for the updatemanager to not
let them manage the apt-get installed files and also a patch for a
new commandline param '-addsite' to include additional plugin
locations on startup. See this bug:
http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=36101

Feedback and comments welcome!

Jan
