Hi,
to install Eclipse do the following steps (based on this tutorial: http://www.if-not-true-then-false.com/2010/linux-install-eclipse-on-fedora-centos-red-hat-rhel/ ):
Download eclipse and extract it to /opt/:
tar -xvzf eclipse-SDK-4.2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz -C /opt
Make all files readable:
chmod -R +r /opt/eclipse
Create executable in /usr/bin/
touch /usr/bin/eclipse chmod 755 /usr/bin/eclipse
Notice / Update: I had some issues with Plugins when I not changed the owner of the eclipse folder. You should change the owner to avoid that: (see this link: https://philipp-boss.de/it/linux/eclipse-updates-or-plugins-are-not-working-linx )
sudo chown -R <user> eclipe
Open that file with your favourite editor and insert that content
#!/bin/sh export ECLIPSE_HOME="/opt/eclipse" $ECLIPSE_HOME/eclipse $*
Create a Desktop Launcher:
(right click on Desktop ->Create Launcher)
Now you can start eclipse.
How to Install SVN and SubClipse Plugin:
Install Subversion via Package manager or via yum (needs root):
(use the same command, in this case this package was already installed)
[root@oc3458605084 philboss]# <strong>yum install subversion</strong> Loaded plugins: repository, : refresh-packagekit, security Setting up Install Process Package subversion-1.6.11-7.el6.x86_64 already installed and latest version Nothing to do [root@oc3458605084 philboss]#
Subclipse
Start Eclipse, click on Help -> Install New Software
and enter this Update Site URL: http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.8.x
Select the features you would like to have and install them.
If you get that error when using Subclipse the first time:
After that I installed the SVNKit also and set the preference to SVNKit:
(Window -> Preferences:)
After restart it worked fine 🙂
