[linuxtools-dev] Docker plugins with ppc64le architecture

[Roberto Oliveira <rdutra@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I am trying to use the docker plugins in a Ubuntu 16.04 ppc64le (Power) 
machine. I have the docker.io package installed on this machine and I 
can run my ppc64le images from command line.

When I open Eclipse and try to change to Docker Tolling perspective I am 
getting the following error in the .log file:

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: could not load FFI provider

I saw that the connection is using the Unix Sockets to connect to file 
/var/run/docker.sock. Is this "unix socket" API supported in ppc64le 
arch or maybe I am missing something?

Thanks in advance.
