Guys,

Are there any packages for eclipse-classic or the other eclipse IDE's for

opensuse? I checked yast and search.opensuse.org and came up with nothing for 11.4. I got the tarball from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/, but I could swear there used to be packages for this during the 10.X - 11.0 timeframe?

Yes, we did have packages in the past.

What's the scoop?

AFAIK this is just a matter of someone stepping up and doing the work.

That on the one hand - and on the other hand I've heard that many used the tarballs directly since they work fine and they are updated regularly,

Yeah, if there is no rpm package - tarball is only way to get eclipse working. I use it since few suse release and it works really fine. -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik openSUSE Community Member GPG: 5FCE 7241 B3B9 32FD 455B C30E 42D6 6C88 9E83 7C3D

I've used the tar.gz for a while now... I've had issues with past RPM installs of Eclipse.. couldn't get certain plugins (mainly for Android dev) working at all when I used the RPM version... removed it and went with the tar.gz, and everything worked... never looked for the RPM again.

Thanks all, that's exactly what I was looking for. The tarball is fine with me and curiously, Android is what I was looking at it for. Specifically for CalDAV, CardDAV (groupdav) inclusion in the Android OS natively. It's a real bust that Android doesn't support that out of the box with its calendar and contacts, etc.. For those interested, here is the thread I've started on the android-discuss list: ------- original post -------- Devs, All, First post, long-time open-source/Linux dev. Recently I acquired an Ideapad (Android 3.1) tablet which is my first Android device. Although the interface took a bit of getting used to, I was happy to find a familiar filesystem running underneath. After a day of integrating the tablet into our local system, there were a few shortcomings that became apparent that I would like to discuss and get a handle on the state of development. The shortcomings being the lack of native ability to connect to CalDAV, CardDAV (or groupdav for both) systems for seamless integration with calendar and contact (notes, todos, etc..) systems. The primary open-source information handling system I run into is eGroupWare which offers this functionality. (see: http://community.egroupware.org/index.php?wikipage=GroupDAV) [Fn 1] On IOS, the bidirectional communication with calendar, contact, note and todo information via groupdav was nearly automatic as far back as 4.2.x. I would like to see this capability in Android. This bidirectional ability should be provided at the Android OS level as opposed to at the application level. Calendar and contact management should also not be limited to google calendar and contact functionality as there are many professions governed by privacy and confidentiality laws that cannot be satisfied by net based storage where server location may lay outside the jurisdictional limits of the U.S. (attorney/client, physician/patient, HIPAA/medical, etc...) That is why the ability to securely interface with existing DAV installations is fundamental, and a necessary capability for Android on mobile devices. Currently from an application level, CardDAV-Sync free beta (https://market.android.com/details?id=org.dmfs.carddav.sync) is the only open-source contact application I could find for android that provides a partial (read-only unidirectional) solution. It however doesn't seem to provide a tested mechanism for contact entry on Android and update/sync of the server backend of only contacts in the CardDav account created on the tablet. (that is also a critical capability) On the calendar side, I have found NO open-source calDAV implementation in any calendar app in the market. There seem to be a few paid apps that advertise CalDAV capability, but none that I have been able to test. Additionally, the note/to-do list/info-log capabilities, that are usually imap based, seem missing in Android 3.1. While this can be reached through a browser application, the functionality should be native in Android OS. That is what really adds a "polished" appearance to the mobile OS. Since all the information for CalDAV, CardDAV (groupdav) and notes/to-do/info-log is basic web-based communication, it seems that implementation wouldn't be an insurmountable task. <snip> -- David C.
