This article is about how to configure the installation of eclipse in Ubuntu. The editor thinks it is very practical, so share it with you as a reference and follow the editor to have a look.

1. The first step is to download the compressed package of Ubuntu eclipse, which I downloaded here is version 3.1.2

EclipseSDK3.1.2: click to download eclipse-SDK-3.1.2

Since I mainly use Ubuntu eclipse to learn Java, I just downloaded the following plug-ins. It is important to note that the use of ve can only be used with specific versions of emf and gef.

EMF2.1.0: click to download emf-2.1.0

GEF3.1: click to download gef-3.1

VE1.1.0: click to download ve-1.1.0

Of course, you can download the following plugin if you want to use it to write the CCMG + program.

CDT3.0.2: click to download cdt-3.0.2

2. Let's start with a more convenient approach:

You only need to unzip the downloaded EclipseSDK package and the plug-in package in any folder and you can use Ubuntu eclipse. First, go to the directory with the compressed package.

$cd / the directory where the downloaded eclipse-SDK-3.1.2-linux-gtk.tar.gz zip file is located

Then execute the following command:

$sudo tar xvfz eclipse-SDK-3.1.2-linux-gtk.tar.gz-C / opt

$sudo unzip-d / opt emf-sdo-runtime-2.1.0.zip

$sudo unzip-d / opt GEF-runtime-3.1.zip

$sudo unzip-d / opt VE-SDK-1.1.0.1.zip

$sudo tar xvfz org.eclipse.cdt-3.0.2-linux.x86.tar.gz-C / opt

At this point, you can see a Ubuntu eclipse folder in the / opt folder, and double-click the Ubuntu eclipse file in it to run eclipse.

If you want the Eclipse option to appear in the menu bar, you can write the following file

$gedit ~ / .local/share/applications/eclipse-user.desktop

[Desktop Entry]

Comment=Java IDE

Name=Eclipse

Exec=/opt/eclipse/eclipse

Encoding=UTF-8

Terminal=false

Type=Application

Categories=Application;Development

Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm

This method of installing Eclipse is fast and convenient, but the disadvantage is that plug-ins are not easy to manage. Because they are all unzipped into plugins and features folders and mixed together.

3. An installation method which is convenient for plug-in management and can speed up Ubuntu eclipse startup and loading.

$sudo mkdir / opt/eclipse/Links

$sudo mkdir / opt/eclipse/AddOns

The .link file pointing to each plug-in is stored in the Links directory and each plug-in is stored in the AddOns directory.

$sudo mkdir / opt/eclipse/AddOns/emf

$sudo mkdir / opt/eclipse/AddOns/gef

$sudo mkdir / opt/eclipse/AddOns/ve

$sudo mkdir / opt/eclipse/AddOns/cdt

The above command creates a specific directory for each plug-in

$sudo unzip-d / opt/eclipse/AddOns/emf emf-sdo-runtime-2.1.0.zip

$sudo unzip-d / opt/eclipse/AddOns/gef GEF-runtime-3.1.zip

$sudo unzip-d / opt/eclipse/AddOns/ve VE-SDK-1.1.0.1.zip

$sudo tar xvfz org.eclipse.cdt-3.0.2-linux.x86.tar.gz-C / opt/eclipse/AddOns/cdt

The above command unzips each plug-in package to the corresponding directory, and then you need to generate an empty .eclipseextension file in the Ubuntu eclipse directory of each plug-in

$sudo vi / opt/eclipse/AddOns/emf/eclipse/.eclipseextension

$sudo vi / opt/eclipse/AddOns/gef/eclipse/.eclipseextension

$sudo vi / opt/eclipse/AddOns/ve/eclipse/.eclipseextension

$sudo vi / opt/eclipse/AddOns/cdt/eclipse/.eclipseextension

Next, go to the Links directory to create .link files for each plug-in

$sudo gedit / opt/eclipse/Links/emf.link

Path=/opt/eclipse/AddOns/emf

$sudo gedit / opt/eclipse/Links/gef.link

Path=/opt/eclipse/AddOns/gef

$sudo gedit / opt/eclipse/Links/ve.link

Path=/opt/eclipse/AddOns/ve

$sudo gedit / opt/eclipse/Links/cdt.link

Path=/opt/eclipse/AddOns/cdt

If you want the Ubuntu eclipse option to appear in the menu bar, you can write the following file

$gedit ~ / .local/share/applications/eclipse-user.desktop

[Desktop Entry]

Comment=Java IDE

Name=Eclipse

Exec=/opt/eclipse/eclipse

Encoding=UTF-8

Terminal=false

Type=Application

Categories=Application;Development

Icon=/opt/eclipse/icon.xpm

After starting Ubuntu eclipse in this way, if Ubuntu eclipse does not recognize these plug-ins, you can set the path to each plug-in in select Help- > Software Updates- > Manage Configuration.
