[http://www.eclipse.org Eclipse] is an awesome IDE with tooling for various languages.  It has a GTK+ UI that is much more accesible to regular programmers from a Windows environment than the tools traditionally used by FOSS hackers.


It was originally a (very) large body of code that IBM open-sourced.  There is now a large community of companies and developers using and extending Eclipse.
== Installation ==
It can be installed via merely running:

All test results will be saved and available for later analysis. Note: Not all tests finish successfully for now.

We appreciate any and all reports of success or failure with the SDK tests. The fedora-devel-java-list mailing list is a fine place to send them.
The way Eclipse and its plugins are installed in Fedora differs from the way this is done upstream. This can
sometimes lead to installation problems in Fedora. We are working on a solution to make installations
more robust in future Fedora releases. In the meantime however, this section is meant to help you troubleshoot those problems.
The main theme is "I updated eclipse and my plugins no longer show up".


== Plans ==
1. The first thing you want to do is to make sure that you have a bundles.info file in your ~/.eclipse directory
We plan to ship the Eclipse SDK (<tt>eclipse</tt> SRPM) version [http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/freeze_plan_3_4_2.php 3.4.2] in Fedora 11. Other [http://www.eclipse.org/ganymede/ Ganymede] release train projects should be updated to their [http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Ganymede_Simultaneous_Release#Coordinated_Service_Releases Ganymede "Service Release 2"] releases when they are available.  We are using the following tracker bug for updating to 3.4.2:
<pre>find ~/.eclipse -name bundles.info</pre>
If you find one then you can move on to step 2. If you don't find a file that means that there is a problem occurring
early on during the startup of Eclipse. To start with you need to make sure that you have a standard Eclipse installation. To
do so run the following:


[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486350 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/486350]
<pre>
rpm -qV eclipse-platform
</pre>
Make sure that there is no output when you run the above command. Next, run:
<pre>
rpm -qf /usr/lib*/eclipse/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/PlatformProfile.profile/*.profile.gz
</pre>
Make sure that there are no files which are not owned by any RPMs.


Fedora 11 froze before the release of Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo).  We would like to avoid having 5 months of a gap between the release of Eclipse 3.5 and it being available in a Fedora release.  As such, we hope to do an upgrade to 3.5 some time in the Fedora 11 life cycle. Status as of 2009-06-26 is that [http://www.eclipse.org/linuxtools/projectPages/eclipse-build eclipse-build] project upstream is coming along and we will move our builds to it once it is able to bootstrap itself.
If the result of the above commands is not clean that means that you don't have a clean Eclipse installation. It is possible that you may have
run eclipse as root at some point. You can clean that up by removing all files which are not owned by any RPMs, and
removing and reinstalling the eclipse RPMs.


There are also the following tracker bugs for various packages we ship and for upgrading them to their [http://wiki.eclipse.org/Galileo Galileo] version:
If both of the above outputs are clean, you will need to file a bug. Collect the following information and file
a bug here:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=eclipse


* [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485488 Autotools] (included under CDT umbrella)
Create a file ~/.options and add the following flags to it:
* <del>[https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=486356 BIRT]</del>
* [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485488 CDT]

* [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=485494 Mylyn]


The other plugins we ship '''should''' work with Eclipse 3.5 without problems. We will of course have to coordinate testing them all.
<pre>
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/debug=true
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/reconciler=true
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.garbagecollector/debug=true
</pre>


In order to coordinate this effort, we may be requesting a koji tag (and repo?) to use for our builds and so that others can easily consume this work and report errors.
Then run eclipse from a terminal with the following flags:
<pre>eclipse -consolelog -debug -clean >& log</pre>


=== Fedora Eclipse Branding ===
Attached this log to the bug you file.


Up to and including Fedora 11, we shipped a branding plugin with a custom splash screen and product ID. From Fedora 12 onwards, we will no longer be doing this.
2. If you have found a bundles.info you will need to do is do a diff between your system bundles.info and user bundles.info:
<pre>diff `find /usr/lib*/eclipse -name bundles.info` `find ~/.eclipse -name bundles.info`</pre>


==== Updating the branding for a new version ====
If there are any bundles present in the system bundles.info and not in the user bundles.info, these bundles are the source of the problem. If the bundles are installed and have the correct versions (the path to the bundles in stated relative to /usr/lib/eclipse or /usr/lib64/eclipse) then that means that things have been upgraded in a way that contradicts the previous installation. Adding those bundles to your user bundles.info will solve the problem. Before doing so backup your ~/.eclipse directory just in case. Here is a script wich will do that:


''This section is no longer important but is kept for historical purposes.''  The splash screen itself was originally done by Diana Fong and given to us as a PSD file. It is kept with the rest of the branding plugin in CVS:
<pre>
diff `find /usr/lib*/eclipse/ -name bundles.info` `find ~/.eclipse/ -name bundles.info` | grep "<" | sed s/"< "/""/ >> `find ~/.eclipse/ -name bundles.info`
</pre>


<tt>:pserver:anonymous@sources.redhat.com:/cvs/eclipse</tt>
If the extra bundles are not present or have different versions than what is in the system bundles.info, that means that the bundles.info is faulty and needs to be updated.
Please file a bug which includes the diff.


<tt>branding/org.fedoraproject.ide.platform</tt>
== Plans ==
 
We ship the Eclipse SDK (<tt>eclipse</tt> SRPM) version 4.3.0 in Fedora 19.  Other [http://www.eclipse.org/kepler/ Kepler] release train projects are also updated to their Helios versions.
People wishing to commit will have to have a Sourceware account. We should probably move this to Fedora Hosted.  In the meantime, use this form to request an account (project:  eclipse, sponsor:  Andrew Overholt):
 
http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/pdw/ps_form.cgi
 
When updating the branding to a new version, you will need to:


* update the product file <tt>fedoraeclipse.product</tt> to include the build ID matching upstream's release build (ex. <tt>http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.4.2-200902111700</tt> gives a build ID of 20090211-1700)
The other plugins we ship '''should''' work with Eclipse 4.3 without problems.  We will of course have to coordinate testing them all.
* be sure to hit the synchronize link on the "Overview" page of the product editor to sync up the various generated files
* make a new <tt>splash.bmp</tt> (yes, it is an actual BMP):
** open the <tt>.psd</tt> file in the Gimp
** adjust the visible layers of the numbering in the Gimp to have the correct version shown
*** for versions that are not present in the PSD, you will need to use the Gimp to draw a number that looks very close to the font originally used
** export the visible layers you want to <tt>splash.bmp</tt>; do '''not''' include the Fedora logo layer in the resulting <tt>splash.bmp</tt>
** refresh the <tt>splash.bmp</tt> file in your workspace and open it to ensure it is what you want
* commit your changes.  Comparing two previous tags (ex. <tt>fedoraeclipse-3_4_1</tt> vs. <tt>fedoraeclipse-3_4_2</tt>) is a helpful indicator to guarantee you've made all of the necessary changes.
** do '''not''' include the PSD file in build.properties; it should not be shipped in the SRPM/RPM
* branch and tag for the new version; follow previous tags and branch names to be consistent
* update <tt>eclipse.spec</tt> to reflect the new locations and generate a new <tt>org.fedoraproject.ide.platform-%{version}.zip</tt>

Revision as of 00:09, 14 December 2016

Eclipse is an open-source (under the Eclipse Public License, or EPL) powerful IDE with tooling for various languages. It has a GTK+ user interface and is written in Java. As it is written in Java it is cross-platform and capable of running on Linux, macOS and Windows NT. It is maintained and used by a large community of volunteers and companies.

It is shipped in Fedora (>= 4). Plugins are continuously being added to Fedora. The Fedora packaging team aims to take care of Eclipse plugin review requests quickly. Packaging guidelines for Eclipse plugins can be found here: Packaging/EclipsePlugins.

Installation

It can be installed via merely running: 

sudo dnf install eclipse

Testing

Eclipse ships it's tests as a subpackage called eclipse-tests. Install it via yum install eclipse-tests and launch /usr/bin/eclipse-runEclipsePackageTests.

All test results will be saved and available for later analysis. Note: Not all tests finish successfully for now.

Troubleshooting Eclipse in Fedora

The way Eclipse and its plugins are installed in Fedora differs from the way this is done upstream. This can sometimes lead to installation problems in Fedora. We are working on a solution to make installations more robust in future Fedora releases. In the meantime however, this section is meant to help you troubleshoot those problems. The main theme is "I updated eclipse and my plugins no longer show up".

1. The first thing you want to do is to make sure that you have a bundles.info file in your ~/.eclipse directory 

find ~/.eclipse -name bundles.info

If you find one then you can move on to step 2. If you don't find a file that means that there is a problem occurring early on during the startup of Eclipse. To start with you need to make sure that you have a standard Eclipse installation. To do so run the following: 

rpm -qV eclipse-platform

Make sure that there is no output when you run the above command. Next, run: 

rpm -qf /usr/lib*/eclipse/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/PlatformProfile.profile/*.profile.gz

Make sure that there are no files which are not owned by any RPMs.

If the result of the above commands is not clean that means that you don't have a clean Eclipse installation. It is possible that you may have run eclipse as root at some point. You can clean that up by removing all files which are not owned by any RPMs, and removing and reinstalling the eclipse RPMs.

If both of the above outputs are clean, you will need to file a bug. Collect the following information and file a bug here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&component=eclipse

Create a file ~/.options and add the following flags to it: 

org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/debug=true
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/reconciler=true
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.garbagecollector/debug=true

Then run eclipse from a terminal with the following flags: 

eclipse -consolelog -debug -clean >& log

Attached this log to the bug you file.

2. If you have found a bundles.info you will need to do is do a diff between your system bundles.info and user bundles.info: 

diff `find /usr/lib*/eclipse -name bundles.info` `find ~/.eclipse -name bundles.info`

If there are any bundles present in the system bundles.info and not in the user bundles.info, these bundles are the source of the problem. If the bundles are installed and have the correct versions (the path to the bundles in stated relative to /usr/lib/eclipse or /usr/lib64/eclipse) then that means that things have been upgraded in a way that contradicts the previous installation. Adding those bundles to your user bundles.info will solve the problem. Before doing so backup your ~/.eclipse directory just in case. Here is a script wich will do that: 

diff `find /usr/lib*/eclipse/ -name bundles.info` `find ~/.eclipse/ -name bundles.info` | grep "<" | sed s/"< "/""/ >> `find ~/.eclipse/ -name bundles.info`

If the extra bundles are not present or have different versions than what is in the system bundles.info, that means that the bundles.info is faulty and needs to be updated. Please file a bug which includes the diff.

Plans

We ship the Eclipse SDK (eclipse SRPM) version 4.3.0 in Fedora 19. Other Kepler release train projects are also updated to their Helios versions.

The other plugins we ship should work with Eclipse 4.3 without problems. We will of course have to coordinate testing them all.
