Priority Requester: Important openSUSE-11.4: New Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Glenn Doig (doiggl) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Update eclipse to latest version as found in http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Thanks Glenn Discussion: #1: Robert Munteanu (robert_munteanu) (2009-12-06 14:48:38) Please consider updating Eclipse to version 3.6 . The currently bundled version is 3.4, which is already one version behind. The current plan is for Eclipse 3.6 to be released in June 2006 ( http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=eclipse (http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=eclipse) ) which would make it suitable for inclusion in OpenSUSE 11.3 ( http://en.opensuse.org/Roadmap (http://en.opensuse.org/Roadmap) ). This would also solve SWT's incompabitlities with GTK 2.18+ , reported at https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=539022 . #2: Alex Richardson (alerich) (2009-12-06 16:23:24) Very good idea, I fully agree. #3: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) (2009-12-07 13:40:57) Robert, Alex: I agree, go ahead and update it! #4: Robert Munteanu (robert_munteanu) (2009-12-08 21:41:59) (reply to #3) Which project should I base my work on from http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=openSUSE%3AFactory&p=1&q=eclipse ? #5: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) (2009-12-09 02:23:49) (reply to #4) osc meta pkg openSUSE:Factory eclipse | grep '<devel' <devel project="Java:packages" package="eclipse"/> So it is Java:packages project. #6: Robert Munteanu (robert_munteanu) (2009-12-09 18:01:50) (reply to #5) I've managed to build Eclipse 3.5.1 , but packaging is something else. What's the best place to take this discussion to? #7: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) (2009-12-10 14:35:16) (reply to #6) opensuse-java mailing list seems to be the best place ... (see http://lists.opensuse.org/) #8: Pásztor János (pasja) (2010-01-27 13:47:21) Yes, it is a very good idea. I use eclipse often, and it's a pain that it not integrates to suse, if i download standalone. Example: i could not start it with Krunner #9: Roelof Wobben (snowman1967) (2010-10-31 21:58:56) Hello, I agree also. I like to work with c++ and python and it seems to be the only IDE who can do this. Roelof #10: Martin Schröder (oneiros) (2010-11-26 15:35:26) test #11: Martin Schröder (oneiros) (2010-11-26 15:36:47) I'm curious: Is anybody from Novell interested in Eclipse on OS? Do you seriously intend to ship OS 11.4 in 2011 with Eclipse 3.4 from 2008, when Eclipse 3.7 is expected for 2011-06? + #12: Pavol Rusnak (prusnak) (2010-12-08 16:36:07) (reply to #11) + Read this blogpost - http://stick.gk2.sk/blog/2010/11/making-delicious-coffee-cake-with-opensuse/ + . There is even a chance that Eclipse will be dropped completely. + Please, stop relying on Novell, openSUSE is a community project, if + noone from community is interested, then there is no Eclipse in OBS. It + is very simple ... -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307842
