Revision as of 12:15, 26 January 2014

Requirements

Eclipse requires a Java JDK to work. See Java JDK setup


Installation

Download eclipse from the official website: http://eclipse.org/downloads/

Take the Eclipse IDE for Java EE developers version.


Windows

Just extract the archive and run ./eclipse/eclipse.exe


Linux

Basic installation

  • Download the eclipse.deb package
  • Install the package using:
tar -xzvf eclipse.tar.gz
  • Launch application by running ./eclipse/eclipse


Create a desktop launcher

sudo vim /usr/share/applications/eclipse.desktop

Put the following content where /home/guillaume/DEV/eclipse is the path to Eclipse.

[Desktop Entry]
Version=4.3.0
Name=Eclipse
Comment=Eclipse IDE
Exec=/home/guillaume/DEV/eclipse/eclipse -clean
Icon=/home/guillaume/DEV/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;Application


Ubuntu 13.10 - launcher Fix

If the menu doesn't appear correctly you must create the following launcher:

[Desktop Entry]
Version=4.3.0
Name=Eclipse
Comment=IDE for all seasons
Exec=env UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 /home/guillaume/DEV/eclipse/eclipse -clean
Icon=/home/guillaume/DEV/eclipse/icon.xpm
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=Utility;Application

Don't forget the Exec=... line! The key is "env UBUNTU MENUPROXY=0"


SWT libraries fixes

On the latest distribution Eclipse sometimes crashed due to libswt-*.so

To resolve that, install the development libraries:

apt-get install libx11-dev libxtst-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libgtk-3-dev


Eclipse configuration

JDK

Window menu -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JRE

    > Add the JDK as a standard VM
    > JRE home = JDK root
    > Click "Finish"

Select the new JDK as the default one

Preferences -> Java -> Installed JRE -> Execution Environment

    > For each java version adjust the JVM to use


JavaHL for Subclipse

Source: Subclipse JavaHL wiki

Linux requires the JavaHL client for Subclipse:

sudo apt-get install libsvn-java

Find the library file:

sudo find / -name libsvnjavahl-1.so

You should have something like:

guillaume@VC076:~/DEV/eclipse$ sudo find / -name libsvnjavahl-1.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni/libsvnjavahl-1.so

Now, update your eclipse.ini configuration

vim eclipse.ini

Add the path without '/' at the end.

-vmargs
-Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni

→ Note: Ubuntu 13.10 as only the JavaHL 1.7 library. So you should not install SVN client 1.8.x but SVN client 1.7.x !!
