Eclipse installation steps in Citrix for shared users (70+) [message #1824345]

Hi Team,

We have installed Eclipse in Citrix server and shared to users, when users tried to open the eclipse app then it gave error "The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library"..

Can you please share us the steps for installing the Eclipse on Citrix server(Windows Platform) and to share the Eclipse to shared users (70+ users).

Hello,
if I remember it correctly, I got this, if some version parameter in eclipse.ini didn't match exactly with what has been actually installed. Did you copy a previous eclipse.ini, so it replaced the one shipped with the installation?
Just checked, it might be the second line e.g.:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.5.800.v20200727-1323.jar

Make sure the versioning in this line really matches what is installed. Above is just some example from what I had at hand.

Regarding multi-user installation in general, you may find this helpful: https://help.eclipse.org/2021-06/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Freference%2Fmisc%2Fmulti_user_installs.html

Hi,
Did this get resolved?
I'm running linuxmint 20.2, just installed the php version and I'm having the same error message in the GUI and the app won't start.
I ran the provided installer as root because it wouldn't work otherwise, installing in /opt with a symlink to /usr/bin
If I start it from terminal I get:

~$ eclipse-php
/root/.p2/pool/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.2.200.v20210429-1609: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied

I tried
$sudo su
this didn't change the result at all
#cd /root/.p2/pool/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.2.200.v20210429-1609

#chmod go -wx eclipse_11401.so

because the '.so' seems to indicate that this is the 'shared object file' that couldn't be opened due to denied permission.

This didn't change result at all.

Any ideas?

If you're using the installer to create a shared installation, you're likely best to disable the use of a shared bundle pool as described here:

Thank you for your reply Mr. Merks.

Okay, I read what you linked and have now rethought.

I'm the only one who uses this laptop, so don't need a shared installation.
Having read the above documentation, I now see why the home directory is the default install location and have decided to uninstall from /opt and re install to /home/[me].

The problem now is how to uninstall cleanly. I used the oomph installer (I installed openJDK 13 separately beforehand).

There seems to be no easy uninstall option on the installer (yes I looked at the advanced tab and its 'X' to remove bits. I don't know exactly which of those packages/components the installer included.)

I used the installer's easy interface to install into /opt/eclipse:

cpp-2021-06
embedcpp-2021-06
php-2021-06

Would I leave bits behind if I just rm -r these?
I haven't been able to run them yet and there seem to be no entries for them in the .eclipse in my home folder. This contains:
two archives:
http___download.eclipse.org_oomph_products_repository_artifacts.xml.xz
http___download.eclipse.org_oomph_products_repository_content.xml.xz
and
http___download.eclipse.org_oomph_products_repository_p2.index

which all seem to be for the installer (I may be wrong).

What is the best way to cleanly uninstall the above so that I can re-install them in my home directory without complication?
