Hi, on a single user system you could just put it into your home directory, I know it's not the standard linux way but it works just fine. Karsten Am Freitag, 28. Mai 2010, 02:51:36 schrieb Stephen Shaw:

I've started to mess around with doing android application development. As some of you might know google has provided an eclipse plugin that makes developing in eclipse nice with some of the features it adds to the IDE.

The unfortunate part with this is that it has a minimum requirement of eclipse 3.4.2. Currently only 3.4.0 is available. I've tried installing the packages that come with openSUSE as well as the packages in the Java:packages OBS project and then adding the update repositories in hopes of having eclipse update itself. So far I've been unsuccessful at trying to do this. Each time has product some error during the process.

Unfortunately, my experience with java is very minimal and so I don't fully understand how all the guts work and interact with each other.

So, my proposal and I'd be willing to help out is to get java up to par on openSUSE. I don't know if we could borrow some of this stuff from Fedora as they seem to have a lot of this stuff already packaged and are rpm based?

Cheers, Stephen

Hi,

That's what I've been doing and in fact hope to blog soon about how I did it. Ideally we should be packaging a much newer version of this app.

Well, there was a lot of attempts, but every has failed. The problem is we don't have a lot of dependencies needed for build and run eclipse. I'm willing to help you with this task so don't hesitate to contact me, but as I'm busy with other things, I'm not able to work on it anymore. Regards Michal Vyskocil
