e(fx)clipse not found in Mars Update Site [message #1700098]

I tried to install e(fx)clipse to my newly downloaded Mars Committer installation, but I can't find it in the Mars Update Site.

I thought it is now part of the SimRel and should be located there. Where can I find the update site for e(fx)clipse with Mars?

I used the links from the project site:
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/technology.efxclipse/downloads

The links from the project site refer to the nightly build 2.1.0, not the 2.0.0 version released with Mars.

For the IDE tooling this is the correct update site for 2.0.0

http://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/updates-released/2.0.0/site

But IMHO it was planned that it is included in the Mars Update Site.

Unfortunately we missed to set a category in the sim-rel contribution
:-( so you need to *uncheck* category grouping!

Hi,

I recently have downloaded and installed Mars. I followed your advice about the grouping and installed 2.0.0.

Unfortunatly I now cannot open the Preview-View anymore. When I do either Eclipse freezes and crashes subsequently or it crashes right away.

I re-used an older test-workspace but except for a JavaFX-Test-Project(which is closed) there is nothing in it.

To be precise: the former efxclipse still works fine in Eclipse Luna (in a more populated worskapace).

I use Ubuntu-Linux (15.04) and Oracle Java (still 8u45, since the PPA maintainer is oddly silent latly).

This is the second try where I installed efxclipse in a newly set up eclipse. And I ran out of ideas...

Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,
Daniel

Well Mars final does launch with gtk3 by default! So to get the preview working you need to force eclipse to gtk2

Oh. I knew, that Mars now uses GTK3, but why is this an issue? Is JavaFX build ontop of GTK2?

Imagine a sad face... That's a shame. But of course not your fault. But I would not have thought, that this'd be an issue. Nevertheless: will try it tomorrow.

Thank you, as usual, for your quick reply!

Cheers,
Daniel

I once looked at the relevant sources and it's not more than 5-10 C++/C
code and one who is familiar with Gtk2 and 3 shouldn't have any problem
reimplementing the stuff in Gtk3.

Can you link the mentioned source? I have never done something with GTK (only played around with Python & Glade some time ago), but there might be a collueage who does... I could at least ask him.

Just clone the hg repo of JavaFX - The code I'm talking about is at
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/openjfx/8/master/rt/file/f89b7dc932af/modules/graphics/src/main/native-glass/gtk
