Feature changed by: Peter Linnell (plinnell) Feature #307842, revision 43 Title: Update eclipse to latest version openSUSE-11.3: Rejected by Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) reject date: 2010-11-04 13:43:08 reject reason: Not done. Priority Requester: Important openSUSE Distribution: Evaluation by engineering manager Priority Requester: Desirable Package Wishlist: Evaluation by engineering manager Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: Glenn Doig (doiggl) Developer: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: Update eclipse to latest version as found in http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Thanks Glenn Relations: - 308602 (feature/id: 308602) 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 ... #13: Martin Schröder (oneiros) (2010-12-09 00:10:13) (reply to #12) While you are right, OS is the base for SLES/SLED - so the question is valid if Novell is interested in Java developers on Linux. #14: Frank Vanderham (twelveeighty) (2010-12-09 05:12:13) As we're voting on this - which Eclipse are we going for to be bundled with the distro? For years now the distro version is NOT the Java EE version and adding Java EE to it is next to impossible - you have to uninstall the distro and install it separately, really. I use Eclipse Java EE as a separate install without major problems, so I'm neutral myself, but we should be clear on the scope: is it the "base" Eclipse that we need to bundle, or a bigger package? #15: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) (2010-12-20 19:56:37) I'm very interested in getting this together. I'd love to have anyone interested in this join the opensuse-java ML (opensuse- java+subscribe@opensuse.org) and help out. Whether it just be answer questions for those of us (me) that don't totally understand java, test packages, or even help build packages that would be great. #16: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) (2010-12-20 20:09:11) (reply to #15) oh, and there is also an #opensuse-java channel on freenode #17: Ansgar Esztermann (aeszter) (2011-02-21 11:52:30) Any update as to the status? I'd like to give it a try (quite a few people here are using Eclipse), but I'd hate to duplicate someone else's work. #18: Stephen Shaw (decriptor) (2011-02-22 05:30:21) (reply to #17) I'm still working on this. I've been focusing on getting maven2 put together. Most of the conversations around this have been going on on irc. You are more than welcome to come join us. #19: Andreas Jaeger (a_jaeger) (2011-07-18 14:02:01) So, who's helping Stephen with this? #20: Dmitri Naumov (dnaumov) (2012-06-05 18:34:01) Accroding to http://software.opensuse.org/package/eclipse, there is still no eclipse in official repos. + #21: Peter Linnell (plinnell) (2012-07-09 22:52:46) + As Stephen has left Suse, I am not sure anyone is working on this + directly. It is important for this to be included in a future release + or in the OBS repos, as it is important for many developers. + The other challenge is Maven builds. Maven 3 has been packaged for + Fedora, but I am not sure it has been built yet on openSUSE or SLE. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/307842
