Oh and removing and reinstalling the Marketplace Client... no change [message #890046 is a reply to message #890041] |

For anyone interested, after my previous post I then applied all remaining updates, restarted Eclipse, removed the Marketplace Client, restarted Eclipse, reinstalled the Marketplace Client, restarted Eclipse... and it still does not appear on the Help Menu. Actually I knew this would happen, but after the "controlled" re-installation of Eclipse for the original post I figured I at least should try the remove/re-install again.

Will do, though won't have time to do that for several hours.
Thanks for such a timely response... of course I had (wrongly) assumed that running the updates, etc., would have taken care of anything like that and since this got installed with yum directly from Fedora... I'll have to use care I suspect to get that to install properly...
May just remove the whole mess and reinstall to /opt

Oh I'm sorry... the Governor must realized he dialed the wrong number. [message #894618 is a reply to message #890092] |

Well I wanted to post to simply keep the issue alive...
Started taking the more direct approach of downloading the tarball from the Eclipse.org downloads and installing that way using the basic process as described in the article at www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/linux-install-eclipse-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/
Well from time to time things (Marketplace in particular) seem to have a habit if "disapppearing" from my Juno4's Help > menu. I just downloaded the tarball again (though no differences between what I had installed already), whacked the /opt/eclise tree and my ~/.eclipse tree, restored the tarball with the -C /opt as shown above, but after having "the problem" reoccur, I figured I would try to carefully document my steps hoping that the issue arises out of something I have done (or failed to do):
tarball info: 156356823 Jul 9 14:35 eclipse-cpp-juno-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
So before starting, I used rm -Rf .eclipse and after launching Eclipse I specified a non-existent directory for my workspace (which it created). Given that I did the following:
Version: 4.2.0
Build id: I20120503-1800
Help > Install New Software
Work with: Juno - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
Made sure I had the "Hide items that are already installed" checkbox checked
Twirled the General Purpose Tools down
Checked Marketplace Client
and clicked on Next
Clicked on Next
Accepted the ELUA and clicked Finish
Restarted Eclipse and there I found Eclipse Marketplace
Again Help > Install New Software using Juno - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
Selected Eclipse Java Development Tools
Clicked Next
Accepted the EULA and clicked Finish
Restarted Eclipse
The Welcome screen no longer shows the Marketplace Client and it no longer appeears under Help >
But it DOES appear if I use about Eclipse and look at the Installation Details
So I tried the "Revert" feature (which I didn't realize existed) and PRESTO! Marketplace reappeared.
BTW I downloaded the tarball from www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/juno/R/eclipse-cpp-juno-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
And if anyone's curious:
# uname -a
Linux infosec-lab.localdomain 3.4.4-5.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 5 20:20:59 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
